Apples, bananas, oranges, and berries are easy-to-eat, vitamin-packed snacks that provide natural sugars and fiber.
Mixed nuts

Greek yogurt
Opt for low-fat or plain Greek yogurt and top it with fresh fruits, granola, or a drizzle of honey for a protein-rich snack.
Raw vegetables
Carrot sticks, celery, cucumber, and bell pepper slices are crunchy, low-calorie snacks that can be paired with hummus or Greek yogurt dip.
