Almond Butter on Toast
Smear the protein-rich goodness of almond butter on a slice of light or dark rye or whole grain toast. You can even go a little bananas and top your toast with one-inch slices of the fruit to add some natural sweetness to your midday or mid-morning snack.

Red or Green Seedless Grapes
I love grapes as a cool summer snack. They are light on your stomach and 20 grapes equal less than 100 calories. Plus, you can pop them in the freezer for a really cool, sweet treat.

Air-Popped Popcorn
Popcorn is not necessarily an unhealthy snack on its own. It really depends on how you prepare it. For instance, if you use an air popper to pop a few cups and forgo adding the butter, oils, and salt, you’ll have a snack that weighs in at less than 60 calories.

Apple Slices & Peanut Butter
There’s nothing healthier or more satisfying than the crunchy protein that a nice, shiny apple delivers. Core and cut yours into bites sized slices and smear on a little nut butter of your choice. You’ll get fiber, protein, and vitamins all in one transportable snack.
