Snacks that can be prepared and eaten quickly can help you with your nutritional challenges! Here are just a few ideas for easily prepared snacks when you're on the run:

Fruit - cut up fruit like pineapples, watermelons, or cantaloupes for a quick and healthy snack. Strawberries and grapes are great as well, and all you need to do is wash them and pop them in your mouth.

Smoothies - toss a few bananas, some strawberries, grapes and a little lemonade & crushed ice into a blender and you'll have a delicious, tangy smoothie in minutes.

Popsicles & fruit bars - pour a little juice or some of your fruit smoothie mix into a popsicle mold. You'll need to wait a few hours to eat those, but the prep time is just minutes and your taste buds will appreciate them even more when it's time to eat them.

Peanut butter-and-celery sticks - chop a few celery sticks into 3 inch sections and slather some peanut butter in the middle. It is very tasty and cool if you like peanut butter. It also gives a satisfying crunch with every bite.

Carmel-apple bites - slices up an apple and dip the pieces into caramel apple dip. It's quick and healthy as long as you go easy on the dip.
