Veggies for snacking
Veggies make some of the most satisfying snacks: crunchy, colorful and full of fiber. Some of my favorites:
- Carrots, celery, cucumber and radish
- Peas and asparagus
- Broccoli and beets
Eat them raw, boiled or cooked, whichever you enjoy most. Leftover roasted veggies are a great snack straight from the fridge.
Add a little protein so they hold you over:
- Carrots, cucumbers and bell peppers with hummus
- A hard-boiled egg with cherry tomatoes
- Snap peas with a few olives
Try this: wash and cut a container of veggie sticks when you get home from the store, so they're ready when hunger hits.
