Peanut Butter and Apples
Cut a few apples up into slices and slap a little peanut butter on them for a healthy and sweet snack. (Via AssociatedContent.com’s “Five Easy and Healthy Snacks“).
Trail Mix
Another one of my favorites, I eat trail mix almost daily. The combination nuts, chocolate, and maybe even fruit will give you great energy and a healthy alternative.
Celery and Peanut Butter
One of my favorite snacks is celery and peanut butter. It is a healthy high fiber and high protein snack. I usually prefer this snack as a pick me up to gain some energy before physical activity. Watch out though, eating to much celery can be known to give you gas.
Fat-Free Yogurt
Fat-free yogurt with fruit and a sprinkle of nuts Get another serving of dairy without saturated fat as well as antioxidants from fruit and unsaturated fat from the nuts.
This snack comes from IVillage.com’s “11 Heart Healthy Snacks.” Another great guide with more awesome snack ideas.
