30 seconds

Healthy snacking doesn’t mean depriving your taste buds. It does mean fueling your body in a way that sustains you and doesn’t leave you wanting more. These palate-pleasing snack ideas are healthful and delicious:

1. Seasonal fruit with organic whole milk plain yogurt and freshly ground flaxseed or nuts.
2. Whole-grain, high fiber crackers with cheese or smoked salmon. Check the Nutrition Facts label and look for the option with the highest grams onfiber
3. A small handful of raw or lightly toasted nuts or a spoonful of unsweetened nut or seed butter. When choosing trail mix options, it’s best to avoid options with dried fruits and candies.
4. Cucumber or carrot slices and hummus.
5. A hardboiled egg (look for omega-3-enriched eggs for added nutritional value) sprinkled with smoked paprika.
6. Fresh vegetables with organic plain yogurt – add fresh herbs and seasonings for more flavor.
