I'm the busiest mother on earth....

I think that's the common line all of us think. Well, all mothers are busy and that's a fact. It's because we are superwomen...(:

Anyway, here are some healthy snacks for moms on the go.

1. Chocolate Bars

What a way to start a healthy snacks list, right? Actually the chocolate bars that busy moms should consume are the 100-calorie variants.

2. Cereals

Choose cereals which are rich in fiber, have essential vitamins and nutrients – and they should also be low in sugar.

3. Cheese

The cheese that’s being referred to here is the pre-packaged string cheese variety.

4. Dried Fruits

The good thing about stocking up on dried fruits as a healthy snack is that they will not spoil, unlike fresh fruits which can easily get those ugly marks and bruises.

5. Fruits

If an apple a day keep the doctor away, there’s no better and healthier snack to have than fruits. Toss an apple, a pear or an orange in your bag and munch on these healthy and natural snacks when you feel the need to munch on something sweet, juicy and crunchy.

6. Instant Oatmeal

All you need is some hot water and you have a bowl of snack which is rich in fiber.

7. Snack Bars

Granola bars and whole grain snack bars are a perfectly healthy and instant snack option. Stock up on snack bars which are low in calories and sugar, but high in fiber.

8. Soy Crisps

Skip the greasy potato chips and switch to soy crisps. Not only will you get to consume more chips in a bigger serving without the guilt – but it is also much healthier snack altogether.

9. Sandwiches Made with Whole Wheat Bread

If you’re looking for something more than a snack bar, prepare a sandwich or two for yourself with a thin layer of your favorite spread – and make sure to use whole wheat bread for that extra dose of fiber.

10. Yogurt

Whenever you feel the need to lick a calorie-laden cone of ice cream, go light and pack on the yogurt instead.

This is a great list, dear. Thanks for sharing. I'm a chocolate lover but I'm minimizing my sweet consumption nowadays. The doctor is suspecting that I have diabetes. (:
