Healthy Eating Tip – Healthy Snacking

Eating healthy doesn’t have to mean no snacking or that we have
to resort to the carrots and celery snacks only. The National
Cancer Institute does recommend that we eat 5 to 9 servings of
fruits and vegetables a day. We can creatively fit those in
while we are enjoying snacking. There are snack foods being made
with soy and whole grains Hydrogenated and partially
hydrogenated oils are being replaced with healthier oils such as
Canola or Olive Oil. Enjoy snacking while you keep your healthy
eating style… * Fruit – Fresh fruit is great especially when
you are in the mood for something sweet. Try apple slices with
peanut butter, orange slices, or a medley of fresh berries
combined with banana slices topped with fat free whip cream.
Create your own fruit drinks using fat free milk and low fat
yogurt combined with frozen fruit. * Vegetables – Vegetables
seem to be difficult for many people especially when it comes to
snacking. Buy low fat salad dressing and use it as a dip for
fresh vegetables. Get creative with some of your favorite dip
recipes and make them low fat or fat free. Low fat bean dips and
salsa are great for dipping vegetables. Steamed vegetables with
melted mozzarella cheese on top makes a delicious snack. *
