Snacks Nutritionists Eat Every Day

 

11. Nuts

“I snack on nuts almost every day. My favorites are Brazil nuts, because they are high in selenium, walnuts because they are high in omega-3 fatty acids and pistachios because they are high in the carotenoids, important cancer-fighting compounds and also because I like the taste and crunch.” — Jean LaMantia, RD, registered dietitian

12. Peanut Butter

“I snack on peanut butter every day. It keeps me satisfied between meals and it’s so versatile. Sometimes I’ll put it on a rice cake, or in a smoothie, or sometimes I eat it alongside an apple.” — Theresa Gentile, MS, RDN, CDN, a Brooklyn-based registered dietitian
