Healthy food snacking

Snacking tempts many of us to fall
shy of our healthy eating goals.
Fortunately, summer offers an abundance of fresh fruits
and vegetables that can make snacking both tasty and healthful.

A key to healthy snacking is to eat foods rich in soluble fiber.
Soluble fiber exits the stomach slowly and leaves you feeling satisfied longer.
Some fiber-rich examples include:

Peas and beans

Oats and oat bran

Barley

Some fruits like apples, peaches, citrus, mango,
plums, kiwi, pears, and berries

Vegetables like artichokes, celery root, sweet potatoes,
parsnips, turnips,
acorn squash, brussel sprouts, cabbage, green peas, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower
