Healthy snacks for girls on the go


Imagining  world where vending machines dish carrots and you always crave grapes? OK, back to reality. We’ve rounded up the best easy (and healthy) bites, so you can grab ‘em and go!
 
Best Chocolate Fix: Pudding Snacks
The creamy classics have 10 percent of your daily calcium and less sugar than lotsa yogurts. Stir in banana slices or berries to up the vitamin factor.
 
Best Throw ‘n’ Go: Kashi’s TLC Bars
Dark chocolate + heart-healthy nuts=new fave granola bar. These sweeties are packed with keep-ya-full fiber, without the calories of an energy bar. Keep some in your locker for any time you need a midday boost.
 
Best Crunchy Crispy: Rice Cakes
Turns out you can eat more airy snacks (like popcorn or puffy cheese curls) while taking in fewer calories (makes sense—they’re less loaded with grease). Mini rice snacks (like Quakes) come in chip-like flavors (BBQ!) but only have 60 calories per serving.
 
Best Cheesy Fave: String Cheese 
Whether you just finished a big game or a tough workout, a protein and carb combo is a must. String cheese has as much protein as an egg (who knew?) and just around 100 calories. Munch it with an apple, wheat toast or a couple of crackers.
 
Best Trail Mix: Woodstock Farms Organic Trail Mix
Gorp is super-portable but some trail mixes have almost 40 grams of fat in a single serving. Seek ones with lots of seeds and dried fruit like Woodstock Farms Organic Trail Mix. Portion it in baggies and you’re good to go.
