*Fruits such as :
Banana, Avocado, Blackberry, Cherry, Coconut, Apples, Mango, watermelon, strawberry, grapefruit, olive, Orange, raspberry, pear, peaches, plum, berries, fig, lime, papaya, tomato, ginger, lemon, elderberry, peach, and many more.
Low-fat Yogurt with fruit or a bit of granola on top.
Whole-wheat pretzels dipped in spicy mustard.
Rice cakes – Spread with natural peanut butter and top with banana slices or raisins.
Whole wheat cheese sandwich – Cut it in half for a smaller snack.
Turkey and cheese wrap made with a whole wheat tortilla – Skip the mayonnaise and fill it up with plenty of lettuce and tomatoes instead.
Fruit salad – Cut up a bunch of fresh fruit and drizzle it with a bit of lemon juice as a natural preservative. Keep the fruit handy in the fridge to make it easy to grab instead of chips or sweets.
Fresh fruit – Great portable fruit includes apples, pears, peaches and bananas.
Chicken salad wrap made with low-fat mayonnaise – Add sprouts, lettuce, grated carrots, and tomatoes for added nutrition.
Apple slices topped with low-fat cheese.
Celery sticks topped with cream cheese or peanut butter and raisins
Dried nuts and raisins mix – For added interest, include a few M&Ms for your kids and call it “Trail Mix”. Low-sugar, dry cereal works well in this also.
Raw veggies – Goes great with low-fat ranch dip.
Salad (pack dressing separately) – Customize it with your favorite raw vegetables, sandwich meats, cheeses and egg for a filling snack or lunch.
Baked tortilla chips and salsa – Easy to pack. Be sure to look for a low-sodium version of the tortilla chips.
Low-fat cheese and whole wheat tortilla quesadilla – Add some chicken or turkey if desired.
Pita bread – Fill with your favorite hummus and fresh veggies.
Fruit smoothie – Make your own with frozen fruit and low-fat yogurt. Carry this with you in an insulated mug.
Cut up fruit – Fruits such as apple and pear slices go great with low-fat fruit or vanilla yogurt to dip.
Air popped popcorn – Always a great snack, but be sure to choose a brand with low sodium and no butter.
Cup of dry low-sugar cereal – You can package these in small sized sandwich (zippered) bags as a great (almost) mess-free portable snack.
Whole-grain crackers – Top these with cheese, lean sandwich meat, tuna or peanut butter.
Sunflower seeds – These yummy seeds make another great portable snack. For a bit of variety, you can also mix with other nuts and seeds.
Fat-free pudding cups – Sold in a wide variety of flavors and available in single serving cups, these are great for those on the go snacks.
Gelatin fruit cups – Available as single serving cups, pick your favorite fruits. Of course you can also make your own with gelatin and plenty of diced fruit.
Cottage cheese – Eat it plain or topped with fresh fruit. You can choose low-fat cottage cheese for a healthier version.
Bran or banana muffins – Make your own and substitute the oil with apple sauce for a great healthy snack.
Low-fat string cheese – String cheese makes another great portable snack. Eat it alone or mix it up by wrapping some thin sliced ham or salami around it.
Dried Fruit – You can find anything from apples to pineapples dried. They make a great sweet and crunchy snack. Banana chips are also always a great option.
Edamame – These are soy beans in their shell. Steam them and top with a bit of salt or lemon juice.
Apple sauce – Apple sauce is available in single serving cups and comes in a few different flavors.
Natural, all-fruit leathers – These are a great healthy alternative to sugar snacks like fruit rollups.
Cereal bars – You can choose from all kinds of different low-sugar cereal bars.
Low-fat or soy milk – A cup of milk can make a very filling snack on the go.
Chocolate dipped strawberries – If you have a chocolate craving, dip some strawberries or other fresh fruit into melted dark chocolate for a yummy and healthy treat.
Tofu smoothie with fruit – Blend silken tofu with frozen fruit into a creamy smoothie.
Animal Crackers – These are low-sugar cookies kids are sure to love. Serve them with a glass of milk.
Fruit and Cheese Kabobs – Alternate chunks of fresh fruit and cheese cubes and thread them on a bamboo skewer for a fun and healthy snack.
Cooked Sweet Potato – Just cut it up in chunks. They are delicious warm or cold.
Avocado chunks – If the avocado gets very ripe and “squishy”, spread it on some whole wheat toast, just like you would butter.
Lettuce Wraps – Take a large leaf of lettuce and top it with raw veggies, ham or turkey and a little low-fat ranch dressing. Wrap up and serve.
