9 Healthy Snacks I Actually Eat

My 3pm crash used to end at the vending machine. These are my swaps.

Number 10 is the one most people miss. It works best on top of the others, so don't skip ahead.

Here’s what helps me

✿
  1. 1

    Apple with peanut butter

    Sweet, crunchy and filling.

    How to: 1 apple and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.

  2. 2

    Greek yogurt cup

    Protein to get me through the afternoon.

    How to: Plain Greek yogurt with a few berries.

  3. 3

    Jicama sticks with lime and chili

    A Texas favorite and very refreshing.

    How to: Slice jicama, squeeze lime and sprinkle chili powder.

  4. 4

    Hard boiled eggs

    Make six at once.

    How to: Boil for 10 minutes, cool and keep in the fridge.

  5. 5

    Hummus and vegetables

    Fiber plus crunch.

    How to: Carrots, cucumber and peppers with 2 tablespoons of hummus.

  6. 6

    A handful of almonds

    Easy to keep in your purse.

    How to: About 15 almonds.

  7. 7

    Cottage cheese and pineapple

    Tastes like dessert.

    How to: Half a cup of each.

  8. 8

    Roasted chickpeas

    Crunchy like chips.

    How to: Toss with oil and spices, bake at 400F for 30 minutes.

  9. 9

    Cheese and a few olives

    Salty and satisfying.

    How to: One cheese stick and a small handful of olives.

  10. 10

    The one most people miss

    Good snacks keep me full, but what finally stopped my afternoon bloat was one little capsule every morning.

    Here’s why: lots of probiotics die in stomach acid before they ever reach the gut. Mine comes in a delayed release capsule made to get through the stomach, with 10 strains and a prebiotic to feed them.

Quick questions

How long until I feel a difference?

For me, my stomach felt calmer over the first week or two, and by a month it was just my normal. Everyone is different, so give it a full 30 days.

Is it hard to take?

No. One capsule a day, with or without food. No powder to mix and no taste. I take mine with my morning water.

Is it worth the money?

I thought it would be pricey, but it’s usually $24.97, goes on sale a lot, and it’s $17.49 right now. That’s about 58 cents a day, less than a cup of coffee.

Can I take it with the rest of my routine?

Yes, I take it alongside everything on this page. Simple is the point: one capsule, then I get on with my day. If you take medication, read the label and ask before you start.
