The Perfect Grab-and-Go Fruit and Veggie Snacks
By Genevieve Cunningham
Keeping a healthy diet can be quite the challenge. Besides the fact that we love the taste of unhealthy foods, it’s also a lot easier to grab unhealthy snacks when we’re so on the go all of the time. But of course, keeping a healthy diet is crucial for maintaining a healthy body. Instead of giving in and grabbing the sugar filled, quick and easy options, take a look at these super easy grab and go fruit and veggie snacks to help keep your diet in check.
-
Carrots - Whether you just buy the pre-sliced baby carrots or you peel and slice your own, carrots are an excellent and easy option for a snack. They’re filled with nutrients and vitamins, are sweet to the taste, and can be taken with you almost anywhere you need to go.
-
Blueberries - These are easy because you literally have to wash, throw in a bag, and go. Blueberries are incredibly good for the body. They’re packed with antioxidants, so they protect your cell development. Buy a container full fill up a bag, and you have one of the easiest and healthiest snacks at a moment’s notice.
-
Cherry Tomatoes - These tiny tomatoes are delicious! And they are the perfect size for a snack bag. If you have the willpower, throw a few in a bag and take them with you for an easy snack. If you lack a little self-discipline, just take the whole container! These are low calorie and delicious, so you can eat quite a few to satisfy your stomach and taste buds without jeopardizing your health.
-
Bananas - These don’t even require a bag. Just grab a banana from the counter and off you go. Bananas are full of potassium, so they’ll help you feel full and can help ward off muscle cramps. A medium sized banana contains about 60-80 calories, so enjoy this fruit without any guilt at all.
-
Apples - An apple a day keeps the doctor away, so grab one and enjoy the easy snack. No bag required. Just wash it, eat it, and throw away the core when you’re done. Easy, delicious, and super healthy.
One of the hardest parts about a healthy diet is the snacking! We all love to snack, but we don’t always know the healthiest way to do it, especially when we’re on the move. Use these fruits and veggies as a guide. With a tiny bit of preparation, you can keep your diet in check and still enjoy your snack time every day of the week.
