Every morning I gather up some snacks to take with me to work. I'm the hungriest in the mornings, it seems like, so I usually eat these up before lunchtime. I typically bring an apple (already cut up at home, so it's easy to eat!), reduced-fat string cheese, nuts (almonds or peanuts), yogurt and other miscellaneous things, such as strawberries (when good and in season, like now!), clementines or "cuties" and whole wheat crackers with cheese. Here are 15 ideas (from today's South Beach Daily Dish):
1. Raw veggies, such as celery, green or red bell pepper strips, cauliflower, and broccoli florets. Use hummus or two tablespoons of natural peanut butter for dipping.
2. Cold cuts (turkey, chicken, lean roast beef, boiled ham)
3. Part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks
4. Nuts (15 almonds, 20 peanuts, or 30 pistachios), but be sure to stick to one serving
5. Cottage cheese (reduced fat or fat-free) with salsa or chopped cucumber
6. Dry-roasted or boiled, ready-to-eat edamame (green soybeans)
7. Sunflower seeds (count these toward your daily nut/seed allowance)
8. Greek yogurt (plain, fat-free)
9. Tomato juice or vegetable-juice cocktail, single-serving cans
10. Water-packed tuna and salmon (individual cans or pouches)
11. Carrot sticks with hummus
12. Whole-grain crackers and reduced-fat cheese
13. A serving of high-fiber whole-grain cereal (a great snack without milk)
14. Dried apricot halves with almonds (seven apricot halves and seven almonds)
15. Microwavable popcorn, individual pack (check the label to make sure it does not contain trans fats)
