Select a small cooler. Freeze blue ice blocks to grab and go. Before going out fill your cooler with some snacks you like.
Avoid allergen foods. Eat variety. A snack is not a meal. Eat a balanced selection of 3 meals a day. A healthy snack will keep your blood sugar from plummeting, which triggers mindless eating!
You can prepare these in advance and put them in sandwich size ziplock bags in the refrigerator. Great for planned snacks when staying home. Snack by the clock. A whole package is not a serving size! Also good for children who run and play and come in the kitchen starving!
