Yogurt
Regular or Greek yogurt is a great snack because it helps you reach your daily need for both calcium and protein. Just make sure you avoid yogurt with added sugar by reading the food labels. If you want to add some sweetness to your yogurt, add some fresh berries yourself.

I am partial to eggs because this is a great source of lean protein and if you begin your day with eggs, you will be more satisfied for the day. Studies show that people who eat eggs have lower fat stores and better health. An easily portable snack is egg whites, so bring along some hard boiled eggs and you will get plenty of protein and extra energy for the day!
If you bring healthy portable snacks along with you for the day, you will boost your metabolism, have more energy and better your health. If you plan healthy snacks for the day you will plan for great success. What is your favorite portable snack? Enjoy happy and healthy eating for your health. You are worth it!
