10 Healthy "To Go" Snacks

Many health experts advise us to eat "mini meals" or 3 meals and 2 snacks, instead of 3 big main meals. Here is a list of a few ideas for those snacks.  These all include a little protein and should be less than 200 calories.

1. 20 almonds or 1 oz almonds (160 cal)  plus 10 baby carrots (20 cal)
2. 10 almonds or 1/2 oz. (80 cal) plus 1 TBSP dark chocolate chips (70 cal)
3. 1 cup skim milk (100 cal) plus 1/2 scoop protein powder mixed together or course (65 cal) *not all protein powders are created equal- check calories on yours*
4. 1 light string cheese or light Babybel cheese (60 cal) plus one apple or pear (80 cal)
5. 1/2 a banana or 1 apple plus 1 TBSP peanut butter
6. 1 hard boiled egg or two hard boiled egg (70 cal)  whites plus 1 orange (70 cal)
7. One protein or high fiber bar (150-190 cal) I like Luna Bars for women.
8. 1 -6 oz. cup Greek Yogurt (140 cal)
9. 10 whole wheat crackers (100 cal) plus 1 light string cheese (60 cal)
10. 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese (100 cal) plus one cup berries (70 cal)
