Eating healthy doesn’t have to mean no snacking or that we have to resort to the carrots and celery snacks only. The
National Cancer Institute does recommend that we eat 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. We can
creatively fit those in while we are enjoying snacking. There are snack foods being made with soy and whole grains
Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils are being replaced with healthier oils such as Canola or Olive Oil. Enjoy
snacking while you keep your healthy eating style…

• Fruit – Fresh fruit is great especially when you are in the mood for something sweet. Try apple slices with peanut
butter, orange slices, or a medley of fresh berries combined with banana slices topped with fat free whip cream.
Create your own fruit drinks using fat free milk and low fat yogurt combined with frozen fruit.

• Vegetables – Vegetables seem to be difficult for many people especially when it comes to snacking. Buy low fat
salad dressing and use it as a dip for fresh vegetables. Get creative with some of your favorite dip recipes and make
them low fat or fat free. Low fat bean dips and salsa are great for dipping vegetables. Steamed vegetables with melted
mozzarella cheese on top makes a delicious snack.

• Healthier Chips – Snyder’s of Hanover has come out with a line of healthy snack foods called Eat Smart. The Soy
Crisps come in two varieties of seasoned soy chips having 7 grams of soy protein and 5 grams of fiber. The Soy
Crisps are made with Canola Oil and Natural Olive Oil. A great alternative to potato chips.

Café Fries are another great snack by Eat Smart. Also available in two flavors these potato fries made with 100% pure
Canola Oil which is naturally low in saturated fat. Other Eat Smart products include veggie crisps, cheddairs and
natural snack dips.
