---------->Top 10 rules to follow for healthy snacking:
1.Choose snacks for variety and select foods from different food groups.
2.Snack only when you are hungry.
3.Eat snacks well ahead of a meal, at least 2-3 hours.
4.Eat snack size portions.
5.Fruit is a simple and healthy snack.
6.Go easy on high fat and sugar snacks. These foods are from top of the food guide pyramid.
7.Plan ahead and bring snacks with you. Vending machine snacks are usually high in calories and fat.
8.Read labels for serving sizes and portion control.
9.Drink water. At least 8 eight ounce glasses are recommended each day.
10.When you are snacking be sure you are only eating. Snacking while studying or watching TV usually means you will eat more than you intended!
----------->Which foods make the healthiest snacks?
If you are going to choose high sugar/fat snacks (foods from top of food guide pyramid), do so in moderation. This includes soda, chips, cookies, and fried foods. One day of high sugar/high fat eating will not make or break your weight…it is consuming large amounts of these foods over a long period of time that will cause pounds to creep up. Here are some suggestions for healthy snacking:
§ Whole grain cereal (cheerios) and milk (skim-1%)
§ Fresh fruit or fruit juice
§ Yogurt
§ Peanut butter on wheat crackers
§ Dried fruit and nut mix
§ Raw vegetables with cottage cheese, yogurt, or low fat dressings
§ Light microwave popcorn
§ Baked chips-such as Baked Lays
§ ½ Bagel with low fat cream cheese
§ Low fat string cheese
§ Sorbet
§ Pretzels
§ Try the following recipe for a healthy, tasty snack!!!!
--->Guiltless Chocolate Milkshake
1 cup light or nonfat chocolate ice cream or non fat frozen yogurt
1/3 cup non fat milk
1 ½ Tablespoons chocolate syrup (can also substitute strawberry syrup or jam)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine ice cream or frozen yogurt, chocolate syrup, and vanilla in a blender. Whirl 2 to 3 minutes.
