When hunger strikes at midday, most of us are susceptible to grabbing the closest thing around: the bag of chips at home or pack of biscuits at the office, or we swiftly drive through our favorite fast food for a quick bite. For a more wholesome diet, it’s best to come prepared with healthy snack options. Here are nutritious snacks that you can easily prepare at home or carry along with you on a busy day:
- Granola Yogurt Parfait. Drop store-bought granola and your favorite fruits, like mangoes and bananas, into a cup of Greek yogurt. Sprinkle with raw honey if you have a sweet tooth.
