Life is busy. It is easy to forget to eat healthy. When that happens, you may resort to picking up junk food instead of a healthy snack. But it is important to eat healthy and regularly. Talk with your parents about stocking up on snacks that you can grab when you need a quick food fix:
- Low-fat cheese sticks
- Baby carrots
- Cut-up cucumbers
- Broccoli florets (tops)
- Apple slices
- Sections of oranges
- Vegetable or tomato juice
- Raisins (Single serving boxes)
- Low-fat, whole grain crackers
- Almonds
- Air-popped popcorn
-Rice cakes with peanut butter
Keeping healthy snacks in little containers in the fridge or "snack closet" so you can grab them before you run out the door (or run in from wherever you were.) Eating right will make your body feel right! (Just remember to keep checking your blood sugar throughout the day to make sure that your levels are in control.)
