Have you wondered what are some healthy snacks you can have when you are on the go?

Have you experienced any of these scenarios?

You’re stuck in a meeting that’s running late, and your stomach is growling – time to hit the vending machine down the hall.

You’re rushing around town, running errands and shuttling kids – you decide to stop for fast food.

Don’t let your busy schedule throw you off track! When hunger hits, be prepared and snack smart with these healthy (and delicious) snacks for when you’re on the go.

What Are Some Healthy Snacks?

Hard-Boiled Eggs

If you’ve been in an airport or convenience store lately, you’ve probably seen prepackaged hard-boiled eggs on the snacking aisle. This is one new trend I hope is here to stay! Grab a packet of hot sauce for a boost of flavor, and you have a tasty treat that’s undeniably healthy.

Jerky

Jerky is a tried and true road-trip favorite. It ranks at the top of the list of convenient snacks and is packed with the protein that your body needs. Just make sure to check the ingredients and try to choose a brand without added sugar. Or make your own!

String Cheese

Next time you ask yourself what are some healthy snacks I can munch on, remeber string cheese. There’s something about snacking on string cheese that feels like an indulgence – but the right cheese can be an incredibly healthy and filling snack. Cheese delivers a powerful one-two punch with both calcium and protein. Go with a lighter, lower fat option to make cheese your guilt-free pleasure!

Dry-Roasted Edamame or Chickpeas

This delicious treat is packed with nutrients and is an excellent source of protein and fiber. And they’re super portable for easy snacking that doesn’t require a cooler or flatware. The salty crunch is even more delicious than potato chips!

Greek Yogurt

While not the most portable option, Greek yogurt is still a foodie favorite if you’ve got a few minutes to sit and snack. It’s high in protein and calcium, which is great for your bones. Be wary of yogurt with added sugar – opt for one with more fat instead. It may have slightly more calories, but it will help you stay full longer.

Fresh Fruit

Craving something sweet? An orange or banana are great options to stick in your bag when you’re in a hurry. They’re easy to peel and eat anywhere without needing to be washed. While fresh fruit won’t keep you satisfied for hours on end, it’s an ideal “pick me up” when you need a little extra pep in your step.

Nuts or Nut Butter

Almond are a personal favorite for quick and easy snacking that leaves you feeling full and energized. Go for the pre-packaged bags to keep your serving size in check — or package your own single-serve baggies before you hit the road. Nut butters (while not as finger-food friendly) also give you a boost of healthy fats and keep you feeling full. Plus, both nuts and nut butters are packed with protein.
