Satisfying Snacks

After my earlier blog, I went to the grocery store to scour the aisles for multi-tasking snacks: food that would fill me up without blowing the daily calorie budget, as well as being at least somewhat healthy. To me, healthy doesn't just mean lower calories - it also means trying to steer clear of unnatural ingredients - the less of 'em the better. Here's a breakdown of my snacks:

Super-Healthy

• Whole fruit - apples, pears, oranges, grapes, and berries
• Vegetables - carrots, celery, snap peas - with my favorite Sabra hummus
• GoGo Squeez apple sauce squeeze packs - these things are delish!
• Nuts (sparingly) - my favorites are pecans, cashews, and pistachios
• Horizon squeeze tube yogurt (do you see a theme here?) in strawberry and blueberry
• Wallaby yogurt cups

Healthy-ish

• Simply Sprouted Way Better Snacks - Sweet Potato Tortilla Chips. These chips not only taste awesome and are lower cal than other sweet potato chips, but they also have the added benefits of chia seeds and quinoa
• Orville Redenbacher Smartpop! with butter - single serve bags
• Luna or Clif bars
• Taza Stoneground Chocolate - salted almond
• Craisins

Not Healthy but Still Yummy

• Ben and Jerry's Frozen Greek Yogurt in Peanut Butter Banana

Happy snacking, everyone!
