Professional at Anytime Fitness is helping Denize make changes to her diet. She recommends having healthy, nutritious
snacks ready prepared so that you do not get caught out when you are on the go
and end up reaching for calorie- laden, less healthy options.
- Trail Mix: Make your own by combining 2
parts nuts with one part no added sugar, dried fruit. Store a 1/3 cup serving in a plastic bag. - Apple and Peanut Butter: Slice one apple
and keep in a plastic bag with a separate small container containing 2 tbsp
natural nut butter. - Lean Beef Jerky and Unsweetened
Applesauce: This makes for a great sweet and salty combination.
Individually-wrapped beef jerky and single serving containers of applesauce
make this an easy snack to keep anywhere.
Try the different, naturally flavoured, unsweetened applesauce variety
packs. - Tuna Snack Packs: These snack packs come
complete with a single-serving packet of tuna, some light mayo, relish, and
whole wheat crackers. - Almond Butter and Banana Sandwich on Whole
Wheat Bread: Cut bread into fourths before packing it up. This is good for a
day of driving too as one sandwich can serve as 2 or 3 snacks. - Carrot Sticks and a Wedge of Laughing Cow
Cheese: If you will be eating your snack in less than 4 hours, this snack works
as a portable option as these things can stay unrefrigerated for about that
long. If it is going to be longer than that, or you would like to be able to
take more fresh options with you, simply get a small cooler with ice packs to
keep in your car to keep the food cool. - Snack Bars: Choose ones that contain a
combination of carbohydrates and protein, such as Luna bars, Kind bars, Lara
bars or GNU bars (my favourite). - Dry Whole-Grain Cereal mixed with
Sunflower Seeds: This is a great option that you can seal in a plastic bag and
keeps good for several weeks. Use 2 parts cereal and 1 part seeds and limit
total serving to 1/3 cup.
