Healthy Snack choices

Protein bars, greek yogurt, nuts

An apple, a bag mixed with nuts and dried fruit, pretzels with hummus, Luna bars

I like petite carrots and peanut butter for a quick snack.
For a good protein bar I eat the Pure Protein Bar Chocolate & Peanut butter. You can get them at GNC, but you can also get them at Walmart for much cheaper. ($6.99 for a box of 6)

Protein bars - Kashi Go Lean! Crunchy - they have flavors like chocolate pretzel, chocolate caramel, etc.
Laughing cow cheese - with an english muffin, celery, carrots, crackers.

Depends on personal taste and how many calories you want to use. I have protein bars on the way to my Kung Fu classes on Monday and Wednesday night (because I can't eat until late those nights), I've used several that I like:
Detour Bars
Met Rx Colossal
Cliff Bars
Pure Protein

Other healthier low-cal snack choices we've found include VitaMuffin VitaTops and Brownies (100 calories each) and Fiber One brownies (90 calories).
