Here are some great snack foods to grab on a moments notice:
*Apples, bananas, oranges, etc. always come prepackaged and, if on hand, can be quickly added to any lunch box or basket.
*Raw nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, cashews are great snack nibblers.
*Trail mixes consisting of raw nuts and dried fruits can come in a variety of combinations, always yummy to snack on.
*Fruits leather (real, no added sugar), dried fruit snacks and such (which should be just fruit) are also great to have.
*Popcorn can be popped for a great treat.  Hot air popped corn is best (avoid micro-waved corn for many reasons). If popped with hot air, it is much lower in calories, and won’t have near as much fat or salt added as other methods.
*Whole grain crackers with healthy veggie dips and spreads are a great snack to take along.
Don’t forget all the wonderful fresh cut veggies with dips, hummus, etc. Veggie platters and dip is always a great party dish to take along and is one of the first things to be consumed. Everyone likes veggies and dips!
Whole grain and live food snack bars are great, containing high nutrition and low calories.  Many market varieties are just the opposite which can be high in sugar, fat, calories, and unhealthy whey protein.
Remember too that you can plan ahead for great snack drinks.  Pure water, raw fruit juices and green drinks are very satisfying in quenching the thirst.

There’s a lot out there that’s just poor foods, but there is so many great foods that provide good nourishment. On-the-foods can be good nutritious ones, we just have to plan and think nutritiously!
