Super Snacking: Portable Twosomes

Sometimes 3 square meals a day just won't cut it. We need snacks! But instead of stocking up on on-the-go baddies (chips, chewy candies and chocolate bars), try to reach for the goodies -- portable AND healthy. By combining healthy fats, proteins and carbohydrates, these snacks won't weigh you down but will actually fuel you to keep going for longer...

5 easy, healthy AND portable twosomes to try:

1. Replace crunchy calorie bombs with a healthier crunch, try:

       Hummus + Carrots

2. Treat yourself to a disease fighting snack with a combo of protein and whole grains: 

          String Cheese + Crackers

3. Build your own mixed nuts: 

          Pistachios + Almonds

4. Something sweet:

Frozen Grapes + Pure Chocolate Chips

5. Get all the benefits of a meal with this snack: 

      Rolled Turkey Slices + Mustard

SUPER TIP: Remember food is fuel. Think of that the next time you reach for the candy bar. Feeding yourself candy and junk food provides no nutritional benefits and is simply empty calories. If you need to indulge, though, at least treat yourself to some home made or store made desserts. Avoid heavily processed foods at all costs.
