Healthy food helps give you the boost of energy you need to help you feel your best and get through a demanding day. You might think you're too busy to consistently eat well, but it really is possible to fit in positive, impactful habits in minimal time.
Prepare to succeed with one of these 20 on-the-go healthy snacks:
1. Pair a handful of raw almonds with a piece of fruit for a snack that's rich in fiber and healthy fats.
2. Throw a Meta Health Bar in your briefcase or gym bag and experience a delicious way to boost your daily fiber intake.
3. Make your own trail mix by combining your favorite whole-grain cereal with a sprinkling of nuts, seeds and dried fruit in a plastic baggie.
4. In a small container or jar, make a parfait with low-fat yogurt, granola and fresh berries.
5. Pair whole-grain crackers with an ounce of your favorite cheese.
6. Spoon a few tablespoons of peanut butter or hummus into the bottom of a jar with a lid. Slice up some celery sticks and put them in the jar. Screw on the lid to grab and go!
7. Blend up a fruit smoothie with frozen fruit, milk and a handful of spinach. Take it with you in a to-go cup.
8. Melt a slice of low-fat cheese inside a folded mini whole-grain tortilla.
9. Top a batch of air-popped popcorn with your favorite seasoning and seal it in a plastic baggie.

13. Wrap a low-fat string cheese with deli turkey slices to satisfy a savory craving.
14. Take a plastic baggie of raw veggies and whole-wheat pita chips to dunk in hummus.
15. Roast a batch of veggies and pack in a container. Drizzle with dressing or sauce of your choice.
16. Slice a hard-boiled egg to eat with whole-grain crackers.
17. Top two rice cakes with your favorite nut butter. Place banana slices in between the two rice cakes to make a sandwich.
18. Pair beef jerky with a piece of fruit for a sweet and salty snack.
19. Top a few multi-grain crackers with canned tuna and pickle slices.
