5 Easy Snacks To Grab And Go
1. Apples and Almond Butter
A great way to sneak some extra protein and fiber into your diet is to dip sliced apples into your favorite almond butter (or nut butter of your choice).
2. Yogurt, Fruit and Seed Bowl
My go-to refreshing yet filling snack is a bowl of thick greek yogurt, fresh berries, mango or banana, and a mix of seeds, such as chia, pumpkin, or flax seeds. You could even top it off with a small handful of granola for some extra texture.
3. Nori Crisps or Popcorn
For that satisfying crunch and a lower calorie option to regular chips, why not try nori (seaweed) crisps or lightly salted popcorn. These are great options to have on hand when you are low on time.
4. Hummus and Vegetables
Dip some veggies into store-bought or homemade roasted garlic lemon hummus. Some of my favorite foods to dip in this liquid gold dip include:
- Carrots
- Cucumber
- Celery
- Crackers
- Pita bread (try this warm!)
- Tortilla chips
5. Nuts or Dried Fruit Mix
Nuts and dried fruit are packed with energy to keep you motivated throughout the day.
