healthy

Trail mix
Nuts (no macadamia) - only enough to fit the palm of your hand.
Dried fruit - peaches, apricots, cranberries, etc.
Beef Jerky - hopefully you have a food dehydrator as the ones at the stores are full of salt.
Granola/breakfast bars - Not all. I would stick w/ the Special K brand ones.
Protein bars

tomatoe juice or carrot juice can actually fill you up a lil if you just want a snack, and they are healthy.

Do you have a blender? We got a Vita Mix Blender this fall at Costco as I am really into juicing and nutrition. It is really a healthy way of getting lots of nutrition that other wise one could never consume in sitting down and eating at one time. I do many veggies too. Besides being nutritional it all tastes soooooo good.

I picked up the 6 lb. frozen bag of mixed fruit one of which includes all these fruits,Mango, Papaya, Strawberries, Pineapple.
Also got the 4 lb bag of mixed berries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Marionberries.
which are great antioxidants. I was happy to find these there so we can enjoy a variety.

I will take some of the above and also add one or more of a banana, apple, orange, or grapes if I have it on hand a bit of lemon and when our grand son isn't here toss in some walnuts, pecans, or almonds ( Tim is allergic to nuts) toss in some ice cubes, YUMMY. I prefer to buy the frozen products and add to the fresh rather than adding canned to the fresh fruits

I have done juicing for years and have seen how I benefited from it and with my husband having Parkinsons (he wasn't eating enough) so I decided to get the Vita Mix Blender for the high quality of its performance and it sits on our counter all the time ready for use which is everyday. If you have any kind of blender you will find all this so tasty. Amazingly, I don't even have the want for coffee and cut way back on soft drinks to almost nil, I didn't need to loose weight but have lost ten pounds, which I contribute to doing the juicing.
I also do lots of veggies.
Sorry for the long post but couldn't help but share our experience of the enjoyment and benefit of doing this. Patti and Jack
