Snacks!

Today I’m all about the snacks.  Here are some ideas for when the munchies hit that aren’t just scarfing M&Ms:

• hummus and veggies

• apple and peanut or almond or cashew butter

• cheese and celery

• yogurt and berries

• orange wedges (bonus points for doing the thing with the peel and the smile)

• nuts and raisins (careful about quantity—the calories add up quick!)

Things with a little crunch, like carrots or celery, help us feel like we are really eating.  Foods with a bit of fat and protein, like yogurt and cheese and nuts, help us stay full.
