Healthy Lunch Snacks
1) Low Fat yogurt with a sprinkle of granola. 2) Whole wheat pretzels dipped in spicy mustard. 3) Whole wheat wrap stuffed with turkey, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Hold the mayo, your favorite low-calorie dressing will work. 4) Fresh fruit salad - Cut up an assortment of fresh fruit and squeeze a bit of lemon juice or grapefruit juice as a natural preservative. A great alternative to chips or sweets.
