Having a Snack Attack?
In our grab-and-go, fast-paced lives, make snacking work to your advantage! Most people don't eat enough fruits, vegetables, or dairy products. So to limit calories and meet nutrition goals grab these treats:
Fresh, frozen, or dried fruit
Fresh vegetables such as carrot sticks, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.
Low-fat or nonfat yogurt and cheese.
Healthy Living Tip: Remember SMALLER PLATE = PORTION CONTROL
Low sugar/Low carb sweet treats - Sugar-free doesn't mean fat- or calorie-free. In fact, in many products the sugar is removed and replaced with unhealthy fats, leading to just as many (if not more) calories than the original.
