How to Build a Snack That Holds You Over

Snack plate ideas built around protein, fiber, and flavor.

A snack that holds you over usually has more than one element. Try pairing protein with fiber and adding something flavorful.

Examples: apple with peanut butter, yogurt with berries and seeds, cottage cheese with tomatoes and crispbread, hummus with vegetables and whole-grain crackers, or a small bean salad with herbs.

The best snack is not the fanciest one. It is the one that is available when you need it.
