One of the most common problems that comes up with my clients, friends and family is running out of ideas for healthy snacks. Healthy snacks are really important to have around at all times. When you allow yourself to get too hungry you are more likely to make poor choices out of sheer hunger, as well as overeating at your next meal. Most of these snacks combine carbs, fat and protein so they will be filling and help to keep your blood sugar staple throughout the day.
- Hummus with vegetable crudités
- Apple or banana with nut butter

- Cottage cheese with fruit – chopped apple, pineapple or berries works well
