What’s a busy girl to do when she needs an energy boost? Some tips on quick fix snacks to toss in your purse and keep you on top of your shopping game.
Mix it up: Toss together a handful of almonds, dried cherries, raisins, your favorite cereal and a few chocolate chips. Sweet and salty to tantalize all your taste buds.
Get exotic: Raisins aren’t the only dried fruit around. Do a little digging at the grocery store and try some dried mango, pineapple or banana.
Baby carrots. Good for your eyes. Which you need to look at all our pretty dresses online.
Check out snack-sized portable peanut butter containers. Great with baby carrots, apple slices, celery sticks, whole wheat crackers, on a spoon, on your finger…
Yogurt. Yoplait Light White Chocolate Strawberry. Licked a foil lid clean this morning. Portable plastic container. Remember to recycle!
Granola bars. Chewy, crunchy and sweet. Almost like eating a candy bar. Almost. Plus fiber and protein.
Frozen grapes. Seriously. Kinda like mini round popsicles. Super fun to pop in your mouth.
Licorice. Yes! Actual candy! Not Twizzlers—the real deal. Licorice contains this funky acid with a name we can’t pronounce that is shown to help melt body fat. A handful will keep you chewing for the same amount of time it takes to scarf a large order of fries.
Good ol’ gum. Something tasty to chew when you wanna eat out of boredom. You’ll burn the couple calories blowing bubbles.
If you must turn to a vending machine, go for pretzels, fruit snacks, peanut butter crackers, or animal crackers. Want chocolate? Peanut M&M’s. We all cave sometimes; might as well pack some protein while you’re at it.
Snack up and shop on!
