I know I need to have healthy snacks, I just don’t know what to eat…”

Sound familiar? Try any of these 3 quick and easy snacks guaranteed to ‘hit the spot’, all while providing beneficial nutrients like fiber, protein, and healthy monounsaturated fats!

1. Popcorn: As long as you don’t drown your popcorn in butter and salt, this is a great low calorie, low fat snack.

2. Almonds: A handful a day can keep the doctor (and heart disease) away! More and more studies are coming out stating the benefits of consuming healthy fats, like almonds.

3. Low fat yogurt: An 8 ounce cup of low fat yougurt typically contains about 2-3 grams of fat and around 150 calories. Compare that to about the twice as many calories (sometimes more, depending on the kind), found in a cup of ice cream!

Remember to pay attention to portion sizes as well, calories are calories regardless of where they come from and if you consume more calories than you are burning you will probably not be too happy with how your clothes begin to fit (or “not fit!”)

Have a great day!
