After you make the list - now you can continue to read and see if you have any healthy snacks of your list

  1. A Health Bar - these can be tricky as some of full of sugar Try to pick one with high protein and low in carbohydrates and sugar.

  2. Hummus - this is a great snack but not always doable if on the go. This is a snack i have at home with vegetable or bean chips

  3. Trail Mix - this is an easier to pack snack when on the go. You must be careful that no raisins, dried fruit or milk chocolate is in the trail mix. If it has dark chocolate it can be better , My favorite is the Trail Mix from Trader’s Joe. It has types of nuts- with NO raisins, cranberries, or chocolate

  4. Celery and a nut Butter - I enjoy filled the celery stalk with almond butter. I then slice into pieces and enjoy this nutritious snack with low calories and low sugar. It ahs good protein and good fiber

  5. Unsalted or Plain Rice Cakes- this is another snack that is easier at home or if you keep rice cakes in your desk drawer. I like to put pumpkin , sunflowers or almond butter if I cam eating at home

  6. Greek Yogurt0 a definite at home snack. I like plain Greek yogurt at home as I can add blueberries and my own ray honey to it. I love this snack the best.

    Whatever you snack is —keep in mind of the amount of sugar. For your information one teaspoon of sugar is equal to 4 grams.
