Fruit, the perfect choice for a healthy snack idea
You can't get much healthier than fruit. They are delicious, low in calories, provide satisfaction for
your sweet tooth and are filled with vitamins and fiber.
My favorites for a quick snack on the road are apples, bananas, grapes and mandarin oranges. They
require no preparation at home, are delicious and give you a quick burst of energy when you need it.
My favorite time to have a piece of fruit is when I'm heading between classes (I'm a university

2. lecturer) on a very busy day, or before I stop at the gym on the way home from work. I'd never make
it through my workout without a snack!

Ants on a log: a healthy delicious snack
Do you remember when you were a kid, how healthy and delicious ants on a log were? I know I loved
it when my Mom made this for a treat when I came home from school. There's no reason not to enjoy
them as adults too!
Simple, fast and easy. Spread some peanut butter on celery and add a few raisins. Will give you a
good boost of energy as peanut butter contains some protein.

Hummus and Carrot/Celery Sticks

3. Hummus is a very healthy snack. It's low-calorie (especially if you make it at home and control the
oil) and eat it with veggie sticks instead of chips. Try carrot, celery or cucumber slices.
Here's my delicious hummus recipe:
Combine:
Cooked chickpeas (canned or boiled), Tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic, salt, olive oil and cumin in a
blender. Add a bit of water if necessary to blend. Adjust to taste! Enjoy. You can keep it in the fridge
for up to 3 or 4 days.

Granola Bars: a convenient snack
Eaten in moderation, granola bars can be quite healthy. They contain nuts, whole grains and dried
fruit. Of course, you should stay away from the most dessert type ones with lots of chocolate and
peanut butter and marshmallows. It's important to compare the nutritional information when you're
at the grocery store shopping for them. Look for low calories, sugar and fat.
