Simple Snack Combinations

Snacks are an important part of nourishing your body and it is important that they are tasty too! Aim for 1-3 snacks per day. If you normally eat smaller meals, you will need more snacks. Try to include 2 food groups for each snack to make it satisfying and nourishing. Many of the items listed below can be found at our markets on campus.

  • Fruit and peanut or almond butter sandwich
  • Trail mix with nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate
  • String cheese and fruit
  • Crackers with cheese or almond butter
  • Granola bar and yogurt
  • Hummus with pretzels or pita chips
  • Beef jerky with cheese or fruit
  • Guacamole with tortilla chips
  • Banana with peanut butter or yogurt
  • Hard boiled eggs with toast or crackers
