Trading your regular 3 p.m. vending machine chips for an apple will probably help you lose weight. (And let's be honest, make you feel pretty freaking virtuous.) But it also might leave you hungry by 3:05 p.m.
It's no secret that loading up on fruits and vegetables is a must for dropping pounds. But when it comes to a snack that'll actually keep you satisfied, a handful of baby carrots or a banana probably isn't going to cut it.
Here's the thing: Even though fresh produce is high in nutrients and low in calories, it's also devoid of satiating protein and fat. And because you're a human, sometimes, you just aren't feeling the celery sticks.
But there are still tons of healthy options that won't leave you starving or totally bored at snack time. These eight clean treats are packed with protein, fat, and flavor—and they're the perfect option when you've got fruit and veggie fatigue. Read on and get your munch on.
