Healthier snacks can be easy on your waistline, wallet and time. By planning
for and packing healthy snacks to eat, you can maintain your energy level
and concentration throughout the day. In addition, by adding a mid-afternoon
healthy
snack you can help prevent overeating at your next meal.
Here are some ideas for healthy snacks:
- Piece of fruit/dried fruit
- Cut up veggies
- Low fat yogurt or cheese
- Raw nuts or seeds
- Granola bars
- Air-popped popcorn
- Dry cereal
- Bagel w/peanut butter
