Fruit Salad
Although not the easiest to carry on the go, if sealed up well, this one’s a definite go go! Our favorites to go cut fruits are apples, grapes & berries.
Pop Corn
Popcorn has been trumpeted as being high in fiber, comes in diverse flavors, and is one of the UK’s fastest growing grocery products. However you’ve got to ensure that the ones you’re buying aren’t cooked in fat and then doused with sugar, salt and flavorings.
Rice Snacks
There are some pretty interesting and tasty rice snack options available in the market. Rice snacks are mostly low in fat and calories. Though a rice cake doesn’t supply you with huge amounts of vitamins and minerals, they do supply you with small doses of certain nutrients essential for a healthy diet.
