Snack time doesn't have to mean potato chips or pastries, It can be the perfect opportunity to add more nutrients to your diet while satisfying food cravings.
Apple or pear  slices with nut butter or tahini- This is as simple and balanced as it gets and apples and pears are loaded with fiber and nut butter or tahini is rich in good fat and protein.
Carrot and celery sticks with hummus- Hummus is a classic treat and is even better when homemade.
Miso soup with seaweed- This fermented soybean paste is filled with beneficial bacteria and enzymes. Sprinkle with seaweed or strips of nori for an extra mineral punch.
Hard boiled egg- It has its own carrying case and it a rich source of vitamins, protein, fat, and lecithin.
Gluten free crackers with avocado- Try a nutrient dense cracker like Mary's Gone Crackers or Lydia's Organics for an ultimate power snack. Avocados are packed with heart healthy monounsaturated fats. And both Mary's and Lydia's are made with a variety of whole foods.
