You Asked For It: Healthy Snacks To Keep Around The House

Apples & Peanut Butter: Slice an organic apple (experiment with different varieties) and spread with peanut or almond butter. (Check labels for salt/sugar content; the less of both, the better it is for you!)

Avocado and Toast (or Wasa crackers): Add red onions, or season as you like. Check fiber/sugar content.

Dark Chocolate: Check cacao content; the higher, the better. Try and get at least 72 %. You can even melt it and dip berries in it!

Pomegranate-Rice Pudding: This is a fun way to get this great fruit into your diet.  Rice pudding from Trader Joe's is a great treat.  I'm a big proponent of organic or antibiotic/hormone-free dairy products.  (For a healthier alternative, use brown rice.)

Greek Yogurt: Pick your favorite brand—there are so many good ones out there—then dress it up with whatever you like; honey makes it an especially sweet treat. The brands I like are Fage, Oikos, Chobani.

Fiber Full Fruits and Veggies:  Half a serving of fruits and veggies have 6 grams of fiber! They are a delicious way to get all this nutrition in.

Fresh Berries: (organic and fresh if available;  otherwise frozen organic would be preferred) —for dipping  organic whipped cream

Vodka Pizza: Choose your favorite sauce (on the healthier side, of course) and high-fiber wrap or pita.  Bake until warm, then spread with  sauce and layer with fresh mozzarella. Bake again until cheese is melted.

Frozen Smoothies: These are great for any time of day. Keep a variety of frozen organic berries in the freezer. Adding spinach is a good way to get in a healthy green vegetable.  You can use yogurt and ice or fresh-squeezed juice as a base.
