Any Dry Fruit is good for you especially if it is organic, but it will be better to choose a low calorie one.
Any Nuts are good for you especially if they are organic, but the best choice will be Raw nuts and almonds are better because they are alkaline, that is why i take a handful of almonds in my morning snack.
Protein snacks should be chosen carefully, you want something natural and healthy with no chemicals additives or preservatives, a protein snack low in calorie rich with vitamins and enough proteins. My choice was simple for protein bars, i take Herbalife protein bar as an afternoon snack because it has 12 g of protein, 23 vitamins and minerals and healthy fiber, and best of all it satisfies your cravings and promotes weight loss. It comes in different flavors but my kids favorites are peanut butter and chocolate fudge, the price is about $1.50/bar not bad right.
They also have different other protein snacks, click on the protein bar picture and see for your self.
So far the total balance for breakfast and snack comes up to less then $4.00, who said that eating healthy and loosing weight is expensive?
