Healthy Snacks Under 200 Calories
Fruit is always a good choice for a healthy and filling snack. And apples in particular are high in fiber, potassium, folate and more. By pairing your apple with low-fat string cheese, you have a balanced snack that won’t leave you hungry. String cheese is a good way to incorporate dairy into your diet, which has high levels of calcium, vitamin D and protein. Low-fat dairy foods also promote bone health, reduce blood pressure, and may reduce the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Make sure to opt for low-fat string cheese though, as too much fat throughout the day can be detrimental to your health.
