Five snacks






Snacks are important.  Most of us do pretty well at choosing well during meals, but those snacks can undo all our good work.  Here are a few good snack choices:

 

1.     Clementines.  They’re small, sweet, and full of fiber and vitamins.

2.     Apples and nut butter.  The nut butter gives us a bit more protein and some healthy fats to make us feel full longer.  The apples provide sweetness, fiber, and vitamins.

3.     Veggies and dip.  Dip, in large quantities, is not our friend, but if we have a smidge with our celery, that’s all good.

4.     Yogurt and fruit.  If dairy doesn’t work, try coconut or soy yogurt.  Choose wisely, though, because a lot of yogurts are full of added sugar.

5.     Cheese and whole grain crackers.  By now, you’ll have noticed a theme:  a fiber-rich thing paired with a fatty/protein food.  This gives us what we need to feel full.
