7 Easy Snacks For Home, Work & On The Go
Here are some smart and easy ways to fit fruits and veggies into your snacks when busy days don’t leave you much time for meal prep or cooking.
On-the-Go Snack Ideas
Even a weekend road trip can and should be packed with good-for-you snacks that are portable and delicious. Think of a snack as a small meal – try to include a healthy carbohydrate, fat, and protein with each snack to keep you satiated.
- Greek yogurt with a handful of nuts and some fruit
- A slice of whole wheat bread with a tablespoon of peanut butter and a sliced banana
Work Snack Ideas
Many of us fall victim to the mid-morning snack attack or after-lunch sweet craving and resort to unhealthy options. Take a few minutes over the weekend or the night before work to prepare some snacks. Having something already prepared and ready to go will save you from making unhealthy choices.
- Cheese with whole wheat crackers and an apple
- Hummus with celery and carrot sticks
- Turkey with cheese and a banana
Everyday Snack Ideas
With a cabinet full of goodies to tempt us at any time during the day, mindless nibbling can be a problem if you’re not prepared with a better option. Very often, we eat out of boredom or just because it’s there. If you have a few things designated as snacks for the day, it’ll take the guesswork and mindlessness out of choosing what to eat.
- A handful of nuts and a cheese stick
- Protein-rich lean, green bean hummus with veggies and whole-grain crackers
- Air-popped popcorn with a side of fruit such as a pear
- Healthy fat-filled guacamole with veggies and crackers for dipping
