Snacks that Provide Natural Energy

There are a wide variety of foods and snacks that will provide you with long lasting satiety and energy to help sustain you through your busy day. There are just a few ideas to get (and keep) you going strong!

• Nuts (almonds, cashews, etc)


• Seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, etc)


• Whole grain crackers, rice cakes, whole grain toast, etc. with a nut or seed butter topping. And you can make it into a small meal by adding bananas or other fruit and a drizzle of pure honey.


• Cut veggies (carrot sticks, celery, broccoli, sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes, etc) with a small side of low-fat dip (mix light sour cream with low-sodium soup mix for easy home-made dip)


• Cottage Cheese (can be eaten alone or with any of the above snacks)


• Yogurt (try to avoid yogurts that have ‘sugar’ listed in the first few ingredients)

• Fresh fruit (grapes, strawberries, sliced melons, apples, oranges, bananas, etc.)


• A small salad with whole grains/legumes, such as a couscous & chickpea salad
