Hi guys,

Ok so since most of us are back in school i was wondering what you guys do for healthy snacks while you are on the go. With work, school and an internship I find it hard to get in enough calories in the day that I need to be safe. I try to use healthy bars during the day but after a while it gets boring. So what are some of your to go to snacks or creative snack ideas that you use when you are too busy to eat during school?

    Hi!

    I have a really busy schedule as well so I always make sure that I have plenty of easy snacks on hand/in the fridge that I can just grab and toss in my bag. I personally like....

    Low fat string cheese
    Almonds
    Hardboiled Eggs
    Chiobani Yogurt
    Baby Carrots, Peppers, Cucumbers etc; with those to go hummus packs
    Apples
    Banannas
    Wheat thins
    My favorite thing to eat in class is two slices of whole wheat bread spread with 2 tbsp hummus and some lettuce. Sounds weird but it is really filling and tasty! Quiet and not too smelly either haha

    I hope these help!

    I know how hard it can be to eat healthy with classes and such. Bubblegoose mentioned some great ones that I try to have too! Here are some other ideas that I eat too:

    -Granola
    -Fiber One granola bars
    -Special K bars
    -Special K fruit crisps
    -Raw veggies
    -Strawberry slices
    -Rice cakes
    -Emerald nut blends
    -Kashi cookies
    -Any fresh fruit, really
    -Fat free yogurt
    -Pretzels

    I try to find stuff that's higher in fiber to make me feel more full!

    I like to snack on:

    Apple or banana
    Almonds
    String cheese
    Greek yogurt
    Turkey slices
    Carrots, cherry tomatoes, snap peas
    Larabars
    Popcorn

    I usually pair a protein and a carb together:
    Veggies with humus or string cheese
    Greek yogurt and berries
    Apple and turkey slices
    Banana and peanut butter/nuts
