Still Snacking

I've got the food groups down, I know what I should and should not eat at meals, but I'm still trying to come up with healthy snack foods so I'll make sure I eat throughout the day.

Below is a great Health and Fitness article on Healthy Snacks that I recently found online at WebMD. Hope you find it as helpful as I.

Don't forget radishes! If you slice a radish into thin slices, it is great as a snack alone, and it's great as a substitute for potato chips with sandwiches, hamburgers, etc...they are a little spice so they have a little kick...that is what makes them so good. And they're good and crunchy!
