Got this in my e-mail this morning and thought it was a good one... I am always looking for good, healthy snacks, and I especially love crunchy snacks (which explains my addiction to chips).
1. Serve raw veggies — including celery, green or red bell peppers, and cauliflower and broccoli florets — with reduced-fat cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, or a bean-based dip. Offer a low-cal, low-sugar dressing as an accompaniment, if desired. (This is an especially good one for this time of year with all the garden veggies that are about to be available to us!)
2. Edamame (green soybeans, sold by the bag both in the shell and shelled in the produce and frozen foods section of most supermarkets)
3. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds (count 1 ounce or three tablespoons toward your daily nut/seed allowance)
4. Soy nuts or dry-roasted edamame (count 1/4 cup toward your daily nut/seed allowance)
5. Almonds, walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, pistachios, dry-roasted peanuts, or other nuts. Limit to one 1/4-cup serving once a day.
6. Celery sticks with two tablespoons natural no-sugar-added peanut butter.
7. Carrot sticks
8. Whole-grain crackers (3 g or more fiber per ounce)
9. High-fiber, low-sugar, whole-grain cereal (choose low-sugar with 5 g or more fiber per serving)
10. Air-popped or microwavable popcorn (three cups; check the label to be sure it doesn't contain trans fats) - Instead of butter and loads of salt, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on your popcorn for added flavor.
11. Apple slices - You know what they say... "An apple a day..."
12. Frozen grapes
13. Toasted whole-wheat pita bread (choose varieties with 3 g fiber per pita), sliced into triangles, with hummus.
14. Toasted whole-wheat or whole-grain tortillas or wraps, sliced into triangles, served with salsa or a bean-based dip.
