Are you facing the 3 p.m. doldrums with dread in your heart and an angry growl emanating from your stomach? Don’t starve yourself—instead, make a smart snack selection. Choose from one of these healthy favorites and you’ll find yourself reenergized in no time.

Raw nuts. Just a handful of almonds is chock-full of vitamins, minerals, and protein, all for less than 100-200 calories.                                                                                              

Greek yogurt. This creamy, delicious treat is a great source of protein, healthy fats, and gut-health-enhancing probiotics. Add 10-12 berries for a well-rounded mini-meal.

Natural popcorn. Popcorn is a tasty, delicious, low-calorie snack choice, but try to steer clear of the icky chemicals that are rife in many microwaveable varieties.

Lightly sweetened cereal. If you’re wrestling with a serious sweet tooth, skip the candy bar and opt for a small bowl of lightly sweetened cereal instead. Hey, it’s not an ideal snack, but at least it’s fortified with vitamins and minerals.

With a few smart snack ideas up your sleeve, you’ll be well-equipped to win out over the mid-day munchies.
