Playing a school sport is a very demanding experience. After practices, the hungries hit hard and it becomes very tempting to grab a bag of chips or a can of soda because they are the fast option.
Next time, instead of reaching for the easy meal, grab some fruit instead. Make sure to badger mom and dad into buying fruits and vegetables for personal enjoyment.
Other than fruit, some delicious and healthy snacks include celery sticks with peanut butter, trail mix, multi-grain crackers with hummus, and Greek yogurt.
To change things up a bit, make a smoothie or plain oatmeal with a sweet fruit topping.
There are several options for those who need to keep their diet in check. Even some popular food chains offer healthy meals, such as Panera, Noodles and Company, and Corner Bakery Café, according to Health magazine. Places like Chipotle and Subway allow the buyer to choose his or her toppings, so make sure they include more of green peppers and tomatoes and less of cheese and mayonnaise.
