5 Delicious And Healthful Snacks For New Years Wellness Goals

How are you doing on your New Year's resolutions? Have you even made any yet? If not, there is still time. In addition, if eating better is on your radar, I've got a few ideas that might just help. Here are 5 delicious and healthful snacks for New Years wellness goals and for TikTok Tuesday.

Health experts say that 25% or more of our calories every day come from snacks. It is important to make sure they are good ones. I know people who never really seem to eat a real meal.

In addition, they can set you on a path of less than stellar eating for the rest of the day or week. There are a couple of keys to avoiding this pitfall.

First, have healthful snacks in the house and at the office. Second, carve out a little time to do some snack prep. Finally, get creative when putting snacks together.
