Prepping Healthy Snacks

I read a fantastic article this weekend on designing healthy snacks. Amanda Carlson of Core performance (http://www.coreperformance.com/) suggested taking an item from 3 separate categories and combining them to make the perfect snack. It made so much sense. The 3 categories are as follows:

1. Complex carbohydrate (organic fruit/veggies, whole wheat bread)


2. Lean protein (fish, chicken, beans)


3. Unsaturated fat (nuts, hummus)

Some healthy snacks I often make when I'm between appointments during the day include the following:

• Carrots with hummus and a scoop of tuna


• Apple w/natural peanut butter


• Greek yogurt with shaved almonds
  

Try making up your own snacks based on picking from the aforementioned categories and let me know what you come up with. Good luck!
