Healthy Snacks
Eating snacks between meals can be a healthy choice if you choose the right snacks. Here are five healthy snacks that are both delicious and nutritious:
Nuts - Nuts are a great snack because they are rich in protein, fiber, healthy fats, and vitamins and minerals. Try eating a handful of almonds, walnuts, or cashews for a quick and healthy snack.
Fruit - Fresh fruit is always a great snack choice. Apples, oranges, bananas, and pears are all tasty and provide essential vitamins and minerals.
Popcorn - Popcorn is a great, low-calorie snack. Try air-popping your own popcorn and adding a small amount of butter or olive oil for flavor.
Yogurt - Yogurt is a great snack because it is packed with protein and calcium. Choose plain yogurt and add your own flavor with fresh fruit or a bit of honey.
Trail Mix - Trail mix is a great snack because it combines the nutrition of nuts, dried fruit, and whole grain cereal. Make your own trail mix with your favorite combination of ingredients.
