What are you doing to get your plate in shape?

Here are some smart snacking tips from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

Snacks with 200 calories or less:         
• One tablespoon peanut butter spread on slices of a medium apple
• One cup tomato soup with five whole-grain crackers
• Three cups air-popped popcorn sprinkled with three tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
• Tri-color veggie snack: 6 baby carrots,
10 sugar snap peas (or green pepper strips), 6 cherry tomatoes and 2 tablespoons reduced-fat ranch dressing for dipping
• Fruit smoothie: Blend 1 cup fat-free milk,
½ cup frozen strawberries and ½ banana
• Trail mix: Mix 20 almonds, miniature box of raisins, and ¼ cup sunflower seeds

Remember, only snack when you hungry and choose wisely!
