Healthy Snacks

Carrot1971

Help! I have a dish full of candy on my desk. Typically I find I can avoid the sweets (I make sure to buy things I don't like..lol). But I still get hungry in the afternoon and typically forget to pack any snacks. I've decided to go to the grocery store at lunch today and buy some healthy snacks. The problem is that I don't know what to buy. Any suggestions??

I often like having a piece of fruit and some nuts. My go-to is a banana with some almonds, but you can substitute with whatever you happen to enjoy.

Also, you can keep them on your desk where that candy is and then it's an easier decision. I keep some nuts and oatmeal packets in my locker at school in case I ever get hungry when I've failed to bring anything along. Even minimal planning can make a big difference.
