Image source: Pixabay.com Greek yogurt with fruits and nuts This is a healthy snack especially if you're craving for a sweet and crunchy treat. Since basketball players can't really indulge in unhealthy treats like candies and chocolates all the time, they get rid of their cravings by consuming fruits.

These three items can be prepared in a way that doesn't scrimp on flavor. My name is Mike Volitich, and I'm a sports therapy student at UCLA.
