Quick Summer Time Snack Ideas from MWH PEP Squad

PEP Squad: Positive Educational Promotion Squad!

Looking for something quick and easy at the beach or in your backyard? The following are easy and healthy snack ideas to keep your energy up and your weight down!
• Fruit is always just a grab away! Add a light cheese stick if you are very hungry.
• 100 calorie packs - They come in so many varieties today. Try baked chips or if you have a sweet tooth, try a bag of 100 calorie cookies. Because the portion is right, indulge in one pack without regret!
• Vegetables - Cut up several different types like celery and cucumbers ahead of time so you can have them whenever you need something crunchy.
• Peanut butter crackers are easy.
• Trail mix - Make your own with some unsalted nuts, dried fruit and popcorn. Place in a snack size baggie for the perfect portion size.

No matter where you are traveling this summer, remember to be smart while snacking!
