Healthy Snacking: Almonds, Apricots & Light Cheese

28 October 2009 No Comment

Snacking while losing weight does not have to be boring.   Healthy snacks can look good and taste good as well.

Choose snacks that are high in complex carbohydrates and add a small amount of protein and heart-healthy fat so that you can stay fueled longer.  For example, put together 6 almond pieces, 5 dried apricots and a Babybel light round cheese for a filling and healthy snack.

Apricots, Almonds and Babybell Lite Cheese

This healthy snack combo is equivalent to one allowance of fruit, one allowance of lean meat, and one allowance of heart-healthy fat.
