Portable Snacking

Here are some snacking ideas from BabyFit:
* Celery sticks with peanut butter and several raisins on top (ants on the log!)
* Rice cakes with peanut butter (good for getting a protein punch)
* Low-fat cheese cubes (these can come pre-packaged)
* Hard boiled eggs (the yolks are crammed with iron)
* Fruit yogurt cup (add in your own fresh fruit for a vitamin boost)
* Trail mix
* Handful of nuts or nut mix (full of folic acid)
* Vegetable sticks with a little packet of dip (lowfat salad dressing packets found in salad bars work as easy-to-pack dip)
* Broccoli or cauliflower bites
* Cucumber slices (lightly salted or with nonfat Italian dressing)
* Yogurt and granola (great source of that needed calcium)
* Healthy fiber-rich or grain cereal (keep the digestive system moving)
* Pickles (wrapped in foil or plastic wrap)
* Box of raisins or other dried fruit
* Half a large whole wheat bagel with light cream cheese
* Apples, bananas, strawberries (any fruit works; these are naturally portable)
* Mixed berries (these freeze well in plastic bags)
* Whole-wheat crackers and low-fat string cheese
* Grapes in a baggie
* Fruit smoothie in a thermos (loaded with vitamins)
* Tuna (limit 1-2 servings/week) and cottage cheese in mini-containers
