Tips for Nutritious Snacking

1. Prioritize Protein and Fiber

Choose snacks with protein and fiber to stay fuller longer. Examples: Greek yogurt with berries, hummus with veggies, or a boiled egg with whole grain crackers.

2. Watch Portion Sizes

Even healthy foods can be overconsumed. Use small bowls or pre-portion snacks to avoid mindless eating.

3. Keep It Balanced

Aim for a mix of macronutrients (carbs, protein, fat). For example: apple slices with almond butter or cottage cheese with fruit.

4. Read Labels

Look for snacks with minimal added sugars, low sodium, and real ingredients. Avoid overly processed items.

5. Snack with a Purpose

Ask yourself: Am I hungry or just bored? Choose snacks when your body needs fuel—not out of habit or emotion.

6. Plan Ahead

Keep healthy options on hand: trail mix, cut fruits, veggie sticks, hard-boiled eggs, or homemade energy bites.

7. Stay Hydrated

Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger. Drink water before reaching for a snack.
