9. Eggs
“Hard-boiled with a little everything bagel seasoning or mashed with a little avocado, eggs are a daily part of my snacking life because they are so nutrient-dense! One large egg provides 6 grams of high-quality protein and is one of the most concentrated sources of choline in the US diet, a nutrient critical for brain development that 90% of Americans don’t get enough of! Eggs are the perfect tasty snack that my toddler and I can enjoy together with ease and convenience (i.e. minimal mess preparation and clean up!).” — Liz Shaw, MS, RD, LD, registered dietitian and author of Air Fryer For Dummies
10. Rice Cake With Avocado
“My go-to snack is a brown rice cake topped with mashed avocado and flaky sea salt. When I lose steam in the afternoons I’m tempted to eat sweets, but it always ends up making me feel sluggish, and still hungry! The fat from the avocado is so satisfying that it completely tides me over until dinner. I love the crunch of the rice cake, and I choose brown rice cakes for the fiber.” — Kacie Barnes, MCN, RDN, creator of Mama Knows Nutrition
