Healthy Snacks Before Dinner
July 29th, 2008 by Tom Cobb
Several hours after lunch you become hungry, but it’s not yet time for dinner. Here are some healthy snacks that can tide you over until it’s time for dinner. Nut butters are fillings and full of healthy monounsaturated fats, try some on an apple. Whole wheat pita with hummus has a lot of protein and a good balance of fat and fiber. Edamame has 8 grams of fiber and cholesterol lowering soy protein. You can buy it frozen and run it under the sink to quickly thaw. Fresh vegetables are great snack, eat with a low calorie salad dressing or non-fat dip. You can always keep trail mix or energy bars on hand if you’re pressed for time or can’t get away to make a healthy snack.
