A useful snack can combine two food groups, such as fruit with yogurt, crackers with cheese, or vegetables with hummus.

Fruit plus protein

Try fruit with yogurt, nuts, cheese, or a seed butter.

Crunch plus dip

Pair vegetables or whole-grain crackers with hummus or another dip.

Something portable

Choose options that travel well when refrigeration is not available.

Plan for your actual schedule

A snack that fits your day is more useful than an ideal option you will not carry or eat.
