Healthy Snacking 101:  Healthy snacking between meals can help to regulate blood sugar levels and prevent that midday slump. Planning out your snacks and having them pre-portioned will help you make healthier choices. While packing your snacks, remember to combine protein, carbohydrates, and healthful fats for the perfect combination to energize your day. Here are some examples:

  1. Banana and nut butter
  2. Avocado toast
  3. Multigrain crackers with hummus
  4. Honey oat energy bites*
  5. Veggies and dip
  6. Fruit*
  7. Popcorn*
  8. Greek yogurt with berries
  9. A handful of nuts*
  10. Cheese and multigrain crackers

* nice options if you are on the road a lot & need “portable” snacks
