Apple and peanut butter: Slice an apple, such as a Granny Smith, and spread peanut butter on the slices.
Nut-free protein snack: If you are allergic to peanuts, try a slice or two of cheddar cheese with slices of apple, or fresh pear.
Mini meal: Make half a sandwich with a slice of turkey, cheese or ham. Add a lettuce leaf, such as romaine, a tomato slice and include a fruit or a vegetable.
Celery PB&J: Celery sticks with peanut butter and jelly.
Yogurt: Yogurt is a wonderful snack! Buy vanilla or plain, then add cut-up fresh fruit. Of course, fruited yogurt is fine too. Include half a bagel or English muffin to round out the snack.
Cottage cheese: Try it with fresh or canned fruit mixed in.
Fresh vegetables and a fat free dip: Buy a fat free sour cream and get a dry dip mix and make your own fat free vegetable dip. Buy the broccoli and cauliflower and prepare ahead of time so they are ready to eat when you are! Baby carrots are great because they are so easy – no peeling, and the size is perfect.
Drink water: This is also a great energizer. Your body gets fatigued when you are dehydrated. Choose to drink water with your snacks, instead of fruit juices or regular soft drinks. You can easily load up on unwanted calories from juice and pop if you aren't careful. Keep a big glass of ice water near you to avoid unnecessary munching.
