When you're craving a snack but dinner is still hours away, don't despair. Simply make yourself a healthy—and easy-to-prepare—nibble that will keep you satisfied until it's time for a larger meal. Just remember the golden rule: Snacks should be between 100 and 250 calories, depending on your daily calorie goals.
Here are two tasty and quick snacks to try:
1. Celery Sticks with Sunflower Seed Butter. Celery sticks are underrated and sunflower seed butter is unusual, but together they make a crunchy and filling snack high in vitamins E and K, potassium, folate and fiber.
2. Homemade Trail Mix. Store-bought trail mixes are often filled with oils and added sugar that up the fat and calorie intake. Ensure it's healthy by making your own mix with 1/2 cup of whole-grain cereal, 2 tablespoons dried fruit (raisins, apples, papaya, apricots) and 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, peanuts, walnuts, cashews).
