8 Healthy Snacks for the Middle of Your Day

Ever get that rumble in your stomach around 2 o'clock when lunch was unsatisfying and dinner feels so far away from now? There are so many snack options that either don't fill you up or are the farthest thing from healthy. Here are a couple options for the next time you get the hankering for something healthy that still holds you over until dinner.

1. Mixed Nuts - This super-filling snack has a great source of fiber, healthy fat, and protein.

2. Greek Yogurt and Mixed Berries - This snack has it all with potassium, calcium, and super high in

protein. Add a little granola and you're good to go.

3. Apple and Peanut Butter - Apples are high in fiber and reduce the risk of heart disease, while peanut
butter reduces LDL cholesterol for heart health, just make sure you consume it in moderation.

4. Hummus and Veggies - With a few spoonfuls of hummus and a handful of carrot and celery sticks, you can have a super healthy, go-to snack.

5. Cherry Tomatoes with Mozzarella - Mozzarella cheese is packed with protein and calcium. One cup of cherry tomatoes and 2 oz of mozzarella cheese is right around 200 calories. Sounds like a win to me!

6. Edamame - If you've never heard of edamame, you're missing out! This antioxidant-rich vegetable is supposed to cause weight loss and lower blood sugar all while providing minerals like iron and magnesium.

7. Turkey Rollups - This Paleo-friendly, savory snack is full of protein. Roll it up with a little cheese and tomato and you'll forget you were ever thinking about dinner.

8.  Dark Chocolate and Almonds - Yes, you read that right, chocolate. Dark chocolate has proven to lower blood pressure and reduce heart disease risk. Almonds can help reduce your appetite while helping you lose weight.
