Eating healthy is tough enough without factoring in tons of prep time, long shopping trips and a bunch of expensive foods. Busy Chicks want quick, easy, portable options that travel right alone with them.

Here are a few ideas for "on the go" snacks that won't break the bank nor expand your waistline.


1. Hard-Boiled Egg
High protein snacks, like
eggs,  fill you up and boost your energy level. The best part: no refrigeration needed! Just grab and go.

Did you know some sources say eggs release endorphins - the feel-good brain chemicals that make working out soothing. Check out this article from the UK, "Eat a boiled egg to cheer up".

2. Avocado
This green fruit (yes, fruit) is a great healthy snack option. The good fats found in advocados contribute to healthy hair, skin and even cardiovascular health. Eat half on your way out the door and preserve the other half with a little lemon or lime juice to prevent from browning. Toss it into a salad later or spread it on whole wheat bread for a great turkey sandwich. Visit Avocado.org for more info on this super food.

3. Leafy Greens 
This is a no-brainer wholesome snack. They are a rich source of minerals (including iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium) and vitamins, including vitamins K, C, E, and many of the B vitamins.Wash them right before you leave and wrap in a tortilla with some tomatoes and a few splashes of balsamic vinegar. While you're at, throw in a few slices of that left over avocado.

There you have it. Three healthy snacks you can enjoy on the go.
