Make it crunchy

There are some creative ways to make the best out of your protein-carbohydrate snacks.

• Add granola to your yogurt. Low fat or nonfat yogurt with some granola mixed in is a great way to get more nutrients from your snack and added fiber. I use Special K granola.

• Sprinkle sunflower seeds on your cottage cheese.

• Add almonds to your salad, just a few on a salad adds the great benefits almonds have to offer.

• Add oat bran to your protein shake. Will help you stay fuller longer and is great for heart health.

Be creative and add a crunch to your snacks
