Snacks are a great way to boost your energy during the day, and many options exist. How do you choose snacks that are also nutritious? Choosing snacks that help your body feel full and energized is a good strategy. Many typical pre-packaged snacks, such as chips, cookies and candy, contain high levels of sugar and salt while being low in protein and fiber. These nutrients are essential for helping you feel fuller for a more extended period. Below are some easy swaps to improve your nutrition and daily energy.

Try swapping Out...

Fruit Juice for Infused Water: much less sugar

Chips for Popcorn: less salt, more fiber and you still get a satisfying "crunch"

Croutons for Crispy Chickpeas: a fiber and protein-filled addition to salads or snack on them alone
