5 Healthy Snacks That Get You Going

Edwina clark, core performance nutritionist for adidas,gave the secrets to maintaining your health while keeping you energized!

1. Peanut butter and banana sandwich


For a filling and nutritious snack, spread a spoonful of peanut butter onto a whole wheat English muffin (look for ones with three or more grams of fiber) and top with sliced bananas. For an extra dash of sweetness, drizzle honey and sprinkle cinnamon onto your English muffin.

2. Apple wedges with yogurt for dipping


Slice up an apple and dip into your favorite yogurt for a delicious bone-building snack. For some variety, swap the apple wedges for pear slices, a frozen banana, or mini rice cakes!

3. English muffin pizzas

Do you love pizza? Make your own snack-size version by topping a whole wheat English muffin with low-fat cheese and your favorite veggies. Throw it in the oven for five to ten minutes at 350 degrees or until the cheese is bubbling.

4. Homemade trail mix


Toss a handful of your favorite raw nuts, dried fruit, and high fiber cereal into a bag for a crunchy, portable snack. Get creative and try pretzels or a tablespoon of dark chocolate chips to keep things interesting.

5. Baby carrots and hummus


Satisfy your craving to crunch by dunking baby carrots into a couple of tablespoons of hummus. If you're not a carrot lover, try celery sticks or sugar snack peas instead.
TRY IT !!
