Healthy Snacks To Get You Through Winter - January 26, 2012

It sure has been amazing how quickly winter changed from being very mild to 2 big snow storms in the last 2 weeks!  With all the snow that is covering the ground, there is a tendency for both kids and adults to be in the refrigerator more often then normal.  As long as you are monitoring your portions so you don't overeat, and of course monitoring those cravings, a healthy snack can actually be beneficial.  With snacking in mind, I thought I would share a few healthy snack tips with you.

1.  1/4 sup of low-fat cottage cheese with 1/2 cup peach slices.
2.  1/2 banana smeared with 1/2 tablespoon natural peanut butter and sprinkled with cinnamon.
3.  1/4 avocado smeared on 1 slice of whole-wheat bread, sprinkled with sea salt.
4.  30 pistachios, shelled, or 45 edamame in pods.
