Healthy Snacks

Ok, so I promised that I would list some of my favorite healthy snacks, so here they are!

Sure, you can grab for pop (it's quick out of a vending machine), or chips, or candy--all quick out of a vending machine, actually.

BUUUTTTTT......how about grabbing for these? Or packing them in the morning for your busy day? These snacks are PORTABLE!

--low-fat cheese cubes
--hardboiled eggs
--deviled eggs (wrapped in plastic)
--fresh fruit yogurt cup (add in fruit for a boost)
--trail mix
--vegetable sticks with a little packet of dip (low-fat salad dressing packets you can find in salad bars)
--half of a turkey sandwich on whole-wheat bread
--yogurt and granola
--leftover chicken or turkey slices (these are really good cold)
--healthy fiber-rich or whole-grain cereal (think Cheerios in a little plastic baggy??)
--half of a whole-wheat bagel with light cream cheese
--apples, banana, strawberries, etc....=any portable fruit
--whole-wheat crackers and low-fat string cheese
--grapes in a baggy
--fruit smoothie in a thermos
--cottage cheese in mini-containers (these are available; just look in your grocer's dairy/cottage cheese section)

Hope these help you make small, but healthful, changes in your daily routines!
