10 GREAT 100-calorie snacks

It gets to be that time of the day when you are so hungry that you could eat just about anything....even a horse. I have so been there and done that. Did you know that it only takes 100 calories to stave off hunger. Here are 10 healthy pack-and-go snack ideas for us very busy people guaranteed to tide you over until your next meal.

1. 2 cups air popped popcorn with 2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese.
2. 1/2 banana sprinkled with cinnamon; 1 tsp. almond butter mixed with 1 tsp. plain
nonfat yogurt for dipping.
3. 2-oz. can of king salmon.
4. 1/2 tbsp. avocado spread on 3 whole grain crackers.
5. 10 kalamata (greek) olives.
6. 1 medium hard-boiled egg
7. 10 almonds and 15 dried berries.
8. small baked potato topped with 1/2 tsp. dried onion flakes mixed with 2 tbsp. non- fat plain yogurt.
9. 1 graham cracker; 2 tsp. tahini (sesame butter)
10. 2 large strawberries and 1/2 oz. dark chocolate (melted in a microwave) for
dipping.

Remember that 2-3 hours is the maximum number of hours you should go between meals if you want to keep your hunger in check.
