You are what you eat. Choose healthy snacks and your body with thank you!

In a hurry? On the run? No time for a sit-down meal? The snacks shared below are easy to eat while packing a nutritional pow, full of vitamins, minerals, healthy carbs, fats, and proteins. Even better, these are free from artificial additives and preservatives because they are whole foods. Be creative with these natural snacks as you eat and enjoy them.

Use this list as a simple starting point and mix it up with other go-to healthy food options. Think of healthy, whole foods-based snacks that are minimally processed with ingredients you can recognize. Steer clear of snack items with a long complex ingredient list that appears to be sci-fi.

We can create and maintain our health one healthy snack at a time by getting into the habit of looking for and eating these nuggets of love!

1. Nuts

Try these:  Almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews, pistachios, hazelnuts, and pinenuts.
