12 Fast, Easy + Healthy Snacks
I survive my busy days by eating small, healthy meals throughout the day. This includes a snack twice a day in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon. It helps me get me past that afternoon slump, or what is also lovingly called being “hangry.” The key to snacking is to not eat empty calories. Those 100-calorie packs of cracker and cookies are not doing you any favors!A handful of nuts or seeds with some fruit or veggies is my go-to snack. But when you need to switch things up these 12 healthy snacks that are great for adults (and kids) alike. They’re nutritious, fun and will keep you going all day long.
