When you have a busy schedule and don’t want to miss out on work or play, healthy snacks to fuel your body are essential. Unfortunately, the busier you are, the harder it seems to find healthy snacks that conveniently fit into your lifestyle.

Thankfully, many food companies are making healthier options so you can make better choices without sacrificing too much of your time or money.

Almonds

A handful or two of almonds provide a lot of healthy benefits. They provide protein and healthy fats, which help fuel the body with energy and satisfy food cravings. The crunch of almonds is extra satisfying. Plus, almonds are easy to eat on the go.

Hummus with Veggies or Pretzels

Hummus packs protein and fiber into your snack. Veggies or pretzels are a great companions. Add in more vitamins and fiber with carrots, celery, bell peppers, or cucumbers. Pretzels are a better partner to hummus than chips and still provide the salty crunch that you may be craving.

A childhood favorite has its place in a healthy and balanced diet! A serving of chocolate milk, like Horizon, is sweet and satisfying while still giving your body essential nutrients like calcium and is a balanced snack with both carbs and protein.
