Healthy snacks for school or the office that are easy to pack and carry, and don’t require refrigeration, include:
- Fresh berries or grapes. Blueberries, raspberries or grapes packed in a small container work well.
- Single fruit. Apples, oranges, bananas, or pears provide a sweet treat with essential fiber.
- Instant oatmeal. Keep a few packs of plain oatmeal in your desk drawer. Then add hot water at snack time.
- Powdered shake. Keep a shaker bottle with a high-protein, low-calorie drink mix for a quick treat.
- Peanut butter and whole grain crackers. Creamy peanut butter always satisfies!
Try these healthy snacks to throw into a handbag, backpack or tote:
- High fiber, low-calorie cereal in a baggie. Remember that a single serving is usually just 1/2 cup.
- High-protein snack bar. Get one that is lowest in calories. Here’s another recipe suggestion: Freezer-Friendly CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKES with Lots of Health Protein!
- Mixed nuts in a resealable container. Almonds are packed with nutrition
- Air popped popcorn in a baggie or plastic container. The fiber in popcorn will help you feel full.
- Whole grain crackers. Add cheese for extra flavor.
