10:15 a.m. — hmm, I can’t possibly be hungry yet.

11:25 a.m. — I’m starvin’ marvin hopefully this Fiber One Chocolate Chip Granola bar will hold me over..mmm chocolate!

12:32 p.m. — Must. Eat. Lunch. Now.

2:41 p.m. — Attack of the chocolate craving again. Taking an afternoon trip to the vending machine. Peanut M&Ms or Twix? Peanut M&Ms or Twix?! Ok easy solution to this dilemma. Both!

snacks-urbangirlIs this what your typical day is like? Well, it is for me (although I do seem to have the case of an endless pit of a stomach most days). If you are a snacker like me, here are some healthy treats that will keep you going throughout the day, thanks to www.healthycastle.com:

Ah Nuts: In a good way, that is. Even though nuts are high in calories and fat, it takes only a handful to keep you happy. They also provide healthy fats and fiber, which is certainly a plus.

Edamame-me likey: Edamame is actually easier to bring to work as a snack than you think. You can find easy microwavable packets at any grocery store and not to mention these soy beans are loaded with protein.

An Apple a Day: Apples are easy, throw them in your bag and you’re good to go. I know an apple isn’t nearly as good as a huge bag of gummy bears, but you can easily make it fun. Bring some peanut butter and you have a delicious filling snack when combined.

Yo-yo-yo-yogurt: Get your dairy in for the day with a low-sugar plain yogurt. Add some fresh berries into the mix for the ultimate healthy snack.

Be Cheesy: Bring along a simple packet of string cheese, Laughing Cow wedges or colby jack cheese packs. They are sold at grocery stores for an easy, delicious and portable snack. If you’re really in desperate need of a snack add some Triscuits or healthy crackers for a delicious treat.

Urban Girl Fitness Quote of the Day:

I like vending machines, because snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at the store, oftentimes I will drop it so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. ~Mitch Hedburg
