Smart Snacking at Home and On-the-Go

Don't forget fruits and veggies for smart snacking. Here are some ideas:


At Home
*Keep a few cut up fruits and veggies in clear containers on your refrigerator shelf
*Keep fruits handy on the counter
*Freeze grapes, melon balls and berries for a quick, cool treat right out of the freezer.
*Serve veggies with flavorful dip like hummus.

At Work
*Keep dried fruits such as apricots, raisins, plums and figs in your desk for an unplanned "snack attack".
*Choose portable fruit and veggie snack such as baby carrots, bananas or grape tomatoes
*Don't forget the office microwave; snacks can be hot veggie soup or a warmed baked apple.

On-the-go
*Invest in a little cooler that you can take with you and keep in your car. Fill it with cut up strawberries, fruit cups and carrot sticks with dip.
*Dried fruit leather and/or trail mix is a small and easy thing to stash in your purse.
