  1. Greek Yogurt with Berries and Honey: High in protein and antioxidants. Add a handful of nuts for healthy fats and to keep you fuller longer.

  2. Hummus and Veggies: Keep pre-cut veggies (like carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers) in the fridge for an easy-to-grab snack.

  3. Nut Butter with Apple Slices: Slice an apple and pair it with almond or peanut butter for a quick, satisfying snack.

  4. Trail Mix: Make your own mix with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit for a grab-and-go energy boost. If getting a pre-made mix, check the label as store-bought trail mix is often high in sugar.

  5. Cheese and Whole-Grain Crackers: Choose high-fiber crackers and add a slice of cheese for a balance of carbs, fat, and protein.

  6. Hard Boiled Eggs: Pre-cooked eggs are a great protein-packed snack that is easy to keep in the fridge. Add a pinch of salt and pepper or "everything but the bagel" seasoning for some extra flavor!

  7. Energy Balls: Check out my energy ball recipes for an easy, sweet treat without the guilt!

These snacks are nutrient-dense and easy to prep, helping you stay fueled throughout the day.

And as an added bonus, you won't feel guilty when your child inevitably steals some off your plate!
