Want to snack on something delicious and filling, but worried about the cost?
We’re with you. Luckily, MyFitnessPal came up with a list of 6 snacks that cost less than $1.
- Hummus is a versatile option for only 75 cents to $1 for 3 ounces. Made from mashed chickpeas and a blend of spices, you can dip your favorite veggies or bread to your heart’s content.
- Fruit is a fun option that can be either fresh or frozen and paired with a variety of other foods, such as another on the list – yogurt.
- Yogurt packs a powerful punch with protein and probiotics for only 75 cents per 6 ounces.
- Trail Mix is probably the most customizable on the list at only 75 cents per ounce. You can make it what you want. Add in some dark chocolate for something sweet and pretzels for something salty.
- Popcorn is a healthy 100 percent whole grain snack that will only cost you 75 cents per ½ cup, as long as it’s not from the movie theater. To make it at home, buy popcorn kernels, put them in a brown lunch sack with some olive oil and microwave the bag (fold down) for about two minutes.
- String cheese is a great after-work or -school option at only 50 cents per 1 ounce serving with plenty of protein and calcium to get you through the rest of the day.
Adding these nutritious foods to your diet will keep you (and your wallet) full all day long.
