Healthy Snack ideas

Healthy Snack ideas

*Veggies- carrots, veggie trays, celery (w/or w/out peanut butter), cucumber, pepper slices, cherry tomatoes, snap peas
*Fruits- apples, pears, strawberries, banana, mandarin oranges, oranges, melons, kiwis, pears, pineapple, grapes
*Pita chips (still not great, but better than cookies or other chips!) -great with hummus dip, bean dip
* Apple slices with yogurt dip or peanut butter dip (Great little snack packs they have at most grocery stores)
* Fruit cups- little cups with mandarin oranges, or peaches, mixed fruit
* Veggie cups- they have little servings of veggies too in the cups
* Frozen strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (love to pull these out when I have a sweet tooth- sweet, but still nutritious and sweet)
* Dried fruit
* Natural (no sugar added) applesauce (in individual cups or large jar)
* Fruit Leathers- natural is key- go for no added sugars
* Fruit Popsicle- look for the no sugar added kind
* Smoothies- throw yogurt in with frozen fruit, and milk- yum!
* Soy beans (easy to fix and so delicious!)
* Raisins
* Whole grain crackers
* Granola bars- chose low in sugar and high in fiber
* Apple chips
* Yogurt
*Whole grain granola
* Pop chips
* Oatmeal
* Home popped popcorn without all the butter/salt
* Unsalted nuts- not too many though! They are full of healthy fats, but higher in calories
