9.Cheese and Nut Plate
When you need a power-packed snack, reach for the protein-rich combo of nuts and hard cheese, like cheddar, Edam, gouda, Parmesan, or Swiss. (Some soft cheeses may have listeria, a bacteria than can harm your baby.) Nuts have fiber, and cheese provides calcium. Add whole-grain crackers if you like. For travel, grab a single-serve pack of almonds and a wrapped mozzarella stick.
10.Protein Bar and Fruit
Keep healthy snacks in your purse, desk drawer, and car so you can eat whenever hunger pangs set in. Protein and energy bars store well, and they’re more nutritious than granola bars. Most have fiber, protein, and healthy fats without a lot of sugar. Single-serve cups of canned peaches or pears are sweet and fiber-rich, and they’ll be ready when you are. Make sure they’re packed with 100% juice, not syrup.
