TIPS FOR HEALTHY SNACKING

• Make healthy snacks easy and convenient to grab.
• It is good to snack between meals because then you are less likely to overindulge at the next meal. Food is a source of fuel for our bodies. Just like a car needs gas, our bodies need to be ‘filled up' every few hours.

Here are some good snack ideas:

• Fresh fruit
• Raw veggies with low-fat dip
• Nuts
• Fruit smoothies
• Cheese and crackers
• Peanut butter and crackers
• Cereal and milk
• Low-fat yogurt
• Graham crackers
• Pretzels
• Trail mix
• Baked chips/salsa
• Popcorn
• Vegetable soup
• Mini pizzas (English muffins topped with sauce, veggies and cheese)
• Baked potato with cheese
• Low-fat cottage cheese
• Instant pudding
• Frozen waffles with jam and fruit
• ½ tuna sandwich
• Applesauce
• Celery and peanut butter
• Whole wheat toast with low-fat cream cheese
• Low fat granola bars
