Healthy Snack Picks for the Office

Rather than raid the vending machine at work, thus sabotaging your healthy diet, brings some snacks from home. Be sure the snack contains both protein and carbohydrates to keep your blood sugar steady until your next meal. Here's a few options:
1. Nuts. They contain healthy fats, protein, fiber, and just a small handful (about 1/4 cup) will keep you satiated.
2. Apple with peanut or almond butter.
3. Cottage cheese and baby carrots.
4. Lowfat yogurt and fruit. Don?t get the flavored yogurt, because it's loaded with sugar. Go for plain yogurt and sweeten it up with fresh berries, honey, or granola.
5. Crackers and cheese. Whole wheat crackers, only four to five of them, with a piece of string cheese. Peanut or almond butter would suffice, as well. Not Ritz crackers and cheese whiz, please!
6. Turkey jerkey and raw vegetables (carrots, celery, tomatoes, etc.)
7. Edamame with crackers. Soy beans are high in protein, whole wheat crackers are high in fiber. They make a great pair, although personally, I'd take the Edamame all by its lonesome.
