Healthy Snacks

Now days, snacks have become very common because of our busy schedules. Between activities, work, homework, and chores, we tend to munch on anything than we can get our hands on, which leads to a bad diet and an unhealthy lifestyle if you don’t choose your snacks wisely.
I recommend that you don’t stuff your bag with change so you can buy junk food from vending machines and rather, fill that bag up with nutritious and healthy snacks.
A few examples of good snacks you can pack:
• Apple: Apples are both nutritious and tasty. 180g of apple is approximately 96 calories.

• Bananas: Full of natural sugar and a great energy booster. 118g is approximately 105 calories.

• Baby Carrots: very convenient and stores sell them pre-packaged and washed. 170g of baby carrots is 60 calories.

• Dried peas: They come in various seasonings and taste great. 25g provides you with about 72 calories.

• Raw Mixed Nuts: Some people prefer this snack because it is filling for short periods of time so it is convenient for pre-dinner snacking. 30g are about 178 calories.

Snack healthy and lead a healthy lifestyle.
