HEALTHY SNACK

(My Original Blog Post: http://www.infohealthy.net/?p=358)
Making it between meals can sometimes be hard without a snack. Instead of reaching for a bag of potato chips or driving through to pick up fries, try these snacks instead.

1. Energy bar. Some energy bars are specifically designed for women such as Luna Bars, which are organic and have plenty of calcium, folate, iron and antioxidants.
2. Granola bar. Make your own or buy some with natural sweeteners for a healthy between-meal snack.
3. Pretzels. This crunchy snack is high in fiber and protein.
4. Multigrain crackers. Eat these by themselves or put some healthy treats on top for a delicious snack full of whole grains and fiber.
5. Rice cakes. Low in fat and calories and full of the nutritional benefits of rice, rice cakes enjoy a long history in Asia as a healthy snack.
6. Graham crackers. Not just for kids, these treats are sweet and healthy at the same time.
7. Soy crisps. These healthy snacks are full of protein, iron, and calcium.
8. Veggie chips. Toss out your potato chips and opt for some type of veggie chips instead. Made with real vegetables and made with non-hydrogenated oils, these are the chips to eat.
9. Pistachios. This delicious snack is full of potassium and healthy fats.
10. Popcorn. Skip the butter and try any number of healthy touches sprinkled on top such as chili powder, a light sprinkling of flavored sea salts, or Italian seasoning.
