On the Run:

  • Half cup trail mix (1/4 cup peanuts mixed with 2 tablespoons dried fruit)

  • Low-carb snack bar (choose one between 150 and 250 calories)
  • Two ounces string cheese and 1/2 cup grapes

Family-Friendly:

  • One cup cut-up veggies (try green or red pepper, celery, jicama and carrots) with 1/4 cup low-fat ranch dressing for "dip"
  • Half a toasted English muffin topped with 2 ounces melted low-fat cheese and 1/4 sliced apple
  • Half a cup guacamole with 6 baked tortilla chips

Cheap and Easy:

  • Two stalks celery with 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • One cup low-fat cottage cheese with 1/2 cup fruit cocktail canned in water
  • Hard-boiled egg with 1 slice of whole-grain toast topped with 1 teaspoon tub margarine
  • Half a cup water-packed tuna mixed with 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise and chopped celery; 6 whole-grain crackers
