Snack Ideas

Everyone is always asking about healthy snack ideas so here is a list of things you can try:

• 12 - 18 baby carrots with 4 tbsp of Hummus
• 5 whole-grain crackers (or gluten free crackers) with Natural Peanut Butter. Add Banana Slices if you want a more filling snack.
• 16 once skim or low fat latte with no sugar (organic milk if possible)
• String Cheese (organic and low fat if possible) and a pear or apple
• Hard Boiled egg on a slice of whole-grain toast (or Gluten Free toast) or just the egg by itself
• A corn or whole-wheat tortilla with a slice of low-fat cheese with salsa
• 2 to 3 slices of low sodium turkey and an orange or grapes
• 6 ounces of low fat plain Greek yogurt topped with berries
• 4 celery stalks or an apple with 1 tbsp of Natural Peanut Butter
• A protein shake (under 200 calories)
• 1 serving of almonds or cashews

****Try to keep your snacks under 200 calories. Also try to have protein with all your snacks to help stabilize your blood sugar so you don't overeat at your next meal.
