Healthy snacks - help pls. :-)

almonds are great for you! heart healthy fats... :-) I believe the brand is Emerald? They have a cocoa covered almonds... they are good for you in moderation (my hospital's cardiac rehab recommends them),,,, I think they also have them in 100 calorie packs.

I also will get a laughing cow wedge and some whole grain crackers... protein and fiber. Good luck!

Almonds are really good for you!! As long as you eat a serving and not 5 lol. As for chocolate, I get my chocolate fix from vitatops or vitacakes. The tops have 100 calories and the cakes have 50 and they have protein and fiber and other vitamins. Usually for snacks, I have one protein smoothie which is 1 scoop protein powder mixed with 1 cup Silk fruit n protein. I have some pretzel sticks measured out in snack baggies, carrot sticks, greek yogurt, grapes, cucumbers, string cheese, laughing cow cheese wedges on Reduced Fat Ritz.
