As the weather warms up, it's the perfect time to enjoy outdoor activities like watching a baseball game, walking trails, or relaxing with a book outside. And what better way to stay energized and happy than with a healthy, on-the-go snack?

Healthy snacks can boost your energy, improve your mood, and keep hunger at bay until your next meal. Check out these ideas for healthy snacking all season long, and get creative with your own trail mix combinations!

Dried and Fresh Fruit: Fruit is always a delicious and quick snack that provides essential vitamins and minerals. Grab a washed apple, an orange, or some of your favorite dried fruit on your way out the door.

Nuts & Seeds: A handful of almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds offers healthy fats and is perfect for on-the-go snacking. You can also pack your favorite nut butter in a small container or buy single-serve packets to pair with fruit, crackers, or a rice cake.

Crackers, Cereal, Rice Cakes: Pair these with nut butter, fruit, cheese, or your favorite dip. Opt for whole grain options to get more vitamins and fiber in your snack!

All of these items are great on their own or can be mixed together to create your own trail mix!

Happy snacking!
