Top 5 Summer Healthy Munchies

Summer travel is in the works.  If you've been on the road this summer and haven't packed a cooler of healthy meals and snacks, you'll be facing a plethora of mindless eating, fast food and poor digestion.  This means less time for healthy eating and good choices.  Here are my top 5 favorite summer munchies:

1.  Bob's Red Mill Original Whole Grain Natural Granola

  • No fat added
  • Good source of fiber
  • Perfect for cold cereal, over yogurt or right out of the bag
2.  Raw Almonds
  • Good source of fiber
  • Good source of protein
  • Good source of Vitamin E
3.  Cherries
  • Great antioxidant
  • Helps clean the lymphatic system
  • May help reduce arthritis and inflammation
4.  Carrots
  • Good for your teeth
  • Good for your eyes
  • Beta-carotene
5.  Snap peas
  • May help to lower cholesterol
  • 1 cup has as much Vitamin C as an orange
