60 Great Healthy Snacking ideas

These great Healthy snacking ideas were given to me by a Public health Nurse, when I was pregnant with my daughter, to have between the meals.  These ideas are not just for pregnant women  but also for all those who  trying to loose weight or  trying to maintain a healthy weight . People who are on the weight loss programs normally eat small but frequent meals, these ideas can be really helpful, if portion size is controlled and spaced equally through the day.  These ideas can also be used for the Kids from toddler age, up until adulthood. Teenagers need a bit more quantity than mentioned, as their appetite and activity levels are higher.
