Snack Breaks

This week I bring you some ideas for some healthy snacks. I've tried to pick snacks that come under 100 calories.




Gum. Just chewing gives you some flavor to wait until the next meal.
Fruit. I love apples and bananas. Raisins, grapes, or whatever. Something sweet and healthy.
Granola bar. You can get one with about 100 calories. Be careful of ones loaded with sugar and other junk.
Pretzels. Healthier than chips or most crackers. A handful can come in around 100 calories.
Vegetables. Carrots and salsa or celery and salsa make a good snack. Cut up peppers also work.
Yogurt. Get some protein, calcium, and yumminess.
Popcorn. Go with air-popped popcorn without the butter (we use spray butter) and you can get a healthy snack
Cheese stick. Get your dairy fix for about 100 calories.
Peanut butter. One tablespoon has about 90 calories. Spread it over fruit or over a rice cake (one of my favorites). 


What else do you like to eat?
