Check out some simple ideas to snack smart all summer long.
Mix it up.
Snack mixes are easy to prepare and even easier to eat on the go. Just be sure to stick with whole-wheat cereal—it'll fill you with fiber that may keep you feeling full longer. Plus, dried fruit is a deliciously easy way to sneak some nutrients into your diet. Our Citrus Kissed Snack Mix and Popcorn Trail Mix are two travel-friendly ideas.

Bring a better breakfast buffet.
Muffins are portable by nature, so they're great to take wherever you go. Plus, you can make them ahead of time and toss them in the freezer, so they're ready to eat whenever you need them. These Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Muffins are filled with the goodness of oats, yogurt, and berries—all with minimal fat.
Freshen up with fruit.
Oranges, apples, and grapes are all easily portable with minimal mess. For a crunchy surprise with your apples, try this Fresh Apple Snack with Popcorn and Yogurt for a creative twist on a fruity classic.

Go retro.
Just because you're not a kid doesn't mean you can't enjoy the treats of childhood. Take a trip down memory lane—while still keeping things healthier—by packing "Ants on a Log" or this tasty After-School Pudding Snack in your to-go bag.
