Snacks are a great way to include more nutritious foods in your day. To save money, prepare and pack your own snacks rather than purchasing them on the run. Here are some snack ideas:

• Apple slices and peanut butter.
• Yogurt and canned fruit.
• Carrot and turnip sticks with hummus for dip.
• Fruit salad made with fresh, frozen or canned fruits.
• Whole grain cereal with white milk or unsweetened fortified soy beverage and fresh or frozen berries.
• Unsalted nuts and a banana.
• Homemade whole wheat muffin with hard cheese and an orange.
