Great Snack Ideas with 200-300 Calories for the Active Individuals!

For those of you who already work out almost everyday and are very active, your snacks during the day should be slightly higher in calories to refuel your body!  Here are some of my favorite snacks and I hope you enjoy them :)

- Whole wheat pita cut into wedges with 2 tbsp. hummus for a dip
- Yogurt parfait: Layer 6oz. fat-free yogurt, 1/2 cup berries and a 1/4 cup granola
- Trail Mix: Mix 20 almonds, miniature box of raisins, and 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- Instant oatmeal made with fat-free milk, 1tbsp honey, 1/2 cup sliced peaches and a dash of cinnamon
- One 4oz. fat-free, ready-to-eat vanilla pudding with 1/2 cup fresh fruit and 5 vanilla wafers
- Veggie Pizzas: Split whole wheat english muffin.  Top with 2 tbsp low-fat cream cheese, 1/2 cup diced fresh veggies and a 1 oz. low-fat mozzarella cheese.
