- Celery and Peanut butter – Wash and Cut celery into snack size pieces. Spread peanut butter inside the celery. For added sweetness, add raisins on top to make “ants on a log” (great for kids!).
- Banana and Almond Butter Wrap – Take a whole wheat tortilla wrap and spread peanut butter on it; then, place a peeled banana in the center and wrap the tortilla around it.
- Granola and Yogurt- Use an individually packaged yogurt or put yogurt in your own container. Bring granola separate in a plastic bag and add it to your yogurt when you’re ready to eat it. For added omega-3, add a tablespoon of chia seeds – they’re like flax seeds, but even better for you!
- Veggies and Hummus- Cut up your favorite veggies and dip them in hummus.
- Fruit – Fruit just by itself is a great snack – cut it up into manageable pieces and you’ll be more inclined to indulge.
- Tomato and Basil – even without the boccaccini cheese, tomato and basil together have great flavor! Add a sprinkle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to taste.
- Apples and peanut butter – An all time favorite- try to use the unsweetened peanut butter as the apple adds enough sugar to the mix.
- Cottage cheese on rye crisps – this is an easy snack now that you can get cottage cheese in those individual to go cups. Add chopped tomato on top for flavor.
