During the summer months, fresh fruit is always a good snack, especially when cold or frozen. If laying by a pool or going to the lake, try freezing strawberries or grapes. Make a fruit salad to have on hand or cut up watermelon so it is ready, or you can take it to work as part of your lunch!

Craving chips but not all the calories and fat? Try finding a healthier alternative. Whole Foods and Trader Joes have some great choices, just make sure that you check the calories and fats. Whole Foods also has bulk granola, just try to stick with the ones that are under 5 grams of fats.
