I recently ordered this book along with The Diabetes Snack Munch Nibble Nosh Book and to my surprise when I read through them they are exactly the same book under a different publisher and cover. The recipes look wonderful and I know for a fact that the Pumpkin muffins are wonderful. I was very disappointed to find that I had ordered the same book and frustrated that I now have to return one.

Ruth Glick has put together a book of great ideas for a healthy snack. Some are so simple, can't believe I haven't tried them before. Many can serve as a meal in themselves. Yes, some take a little more effort than you feel like some days for a snack, but they are well worth it. Can't wait to make more of the recipes.

The problem with snacks which are good for you is they seldom taste good as those not so good, and are usually more time-consuming to prepare. That's why SNACK ATTACK helps on so many levels: it offers speedy tasty snacks for adults and kids alike, pairing recipes with nutritional analysis for quick choices. From pumpkin pie-spiced Hawaiian Meatballs to Bean and Pasta Soup with Sausage, dishes have been modified for healthy results and offer plenty of easy alternatives to less desirable foods. Recommended both for health libraries and diabetics.

This book has made it easier to find tasty recipes that I can eat. I am loosing weight but not feeling deprived because I can snack and even eat desserts and the recipes that I have tried from this book have been tasty and easy to make.

A great book. Lots of healthy alternative snack choices for all occasions. I love it.

In some circles "Snack Attack" is touted as a good reference "snack" cookbook for diabetics and while there are some quaint ideas for good snacks, the book is only moderately useable for diabetics. Peruse the margins for the nutritional information and you may soon realize that these "Guilt-free Treats" may only be relatively healthy depending on your current diet. But for diabetics... be very careful: too much sugar and too many carbohydrates per meal, per serving.

It had some good recipes to try but for the most part not anything great. A lot of it is time consuming and not a "ready" snack.

This book had a lot of fun and easy ways to stay healthy and still be able to enjoy certain foods we crave!

I ordered the Snack Attack book for my wife, since she rarely orders on line. She loves it!!! and I enjoy the rewards! Great book, fantastic snack ideas, recipes and organization. May order a few more for gifts! Great snacks for everyone, not just diabetics.

I originally asked for this book for quick, low-cal snacks. It offers that, but, as some others have mentioned, they are time intensive. That was a bit disappointing. However, as I further looked into the book, I quickly realized that these are fantastic bases for healthy meals. I turned a wrap into a complete meal of only 430 calories! I turned another wrap into a small, personal pizza that was incredible; hubby said I better make it again! So, while it wasn't what I was initially looking for...it has been fantastic for giving me healthier ideas! And for that...I give it a better than average rating!
