What can you grab to tie you over? Chips? Cookies? They may sound good now, but will they keep you satisfied until your next meal? Probably not. Here are 5 quick, easy and healthy snacks to keep you full for longer.1. Cheese Cubes and FruitLove the combo of sweet and savory? Then this one\u2019s for you. The sweet flavor of fruit paired with salty cheese is not only tasty, but also makes the perfect mid-afternoon snack. Cheese is a great source of protein and good fats \u2013 both of which help reduce the hormone ghrelin that cues hunger, helping you to feel fuller longer.1 Another benefit? It can help overcome that frustrating midday slump. The natural sugars in fruit give a quick lift in energy while the protein and fats in cheese have a longer-lasting effect.Suggested serving: 7 cheese cubes with \u00bd cup fruit (grapes are my go-to with cheese).2. Peanut Butter and Apple SlicesSmearing a spoonful of peanut butter on a few apple slices is one of the easiest ways to get you through the day. Both foods are packed with satiety-boosting fiber, while peanut butter adds an extra boost of protein and healthy fats. Fiber-rich foods take longer to pass through your GI tract, meaning they help keep you satisfied longer. Look for an unsalted peanut butter that\u2019s low in sugar to reap the greatest health benefits.Suggested serving: 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 1 small apple.3. Avocado ToastThis breakfast favorite makes a great snack at any time of the day. Avocados are not only delicious but also extremely nutrient-dense. In fact, half an avocado has about 10 grams of fat and 5 grams of fiber. Smash it over a piece of whole-grain toast and you\u2019re set until dinner.Suggested serving: \u00bd medium avocado and 1 slice of whole wheat bread.4. Cottage CheeseCottage cheese is one of the most underrated foods. It\u2019s filled with important nutrients like B vitamins, calcium, folate and protein, making it a great option when you\u2019re reaching for an afternoon snack. Just a half cup of low-fat cottage cheese offers 13 grams of protein to keep you feeling full. Cottage cheese is great on its own but also pairs well with fruit like peaches.Serving size: \u00bd cup cottage cheese with 1 medium peach.5. Hummus and CarrotsHummus and carrots are a favorite go-to snack around the world. The chickpeas that make up the bulk of hummus dips are a rich source of fiber and protein. Eat it with a high-fiber vegetable like carrots and you\u2019ll be satisfied for hours.Suggested serving size: 2-4 tablespoons hummus with \u00be cup of baby carrots.TakeawayThe munchies can feel like an all-day thing, especially if you\u2019re reaching for snacks that are processed and high in sugar. While they might taste great in the moment, they\u2019re not filling and can lead to overeating. Instead, choose snacks high in protein, healthy fats and fiber to keep you feeling satisfied longer throughout the day.Want more snack ideas?
