1. Nut Butter Packs with fresh fruit

Please be aware of the nut butter composition - opt for 100% nuts and avoid hydrogenated fat. As nut butters are high in calories, be careful with your serving size. 

Examples:

1. Peanut butter with banana
2. Almond butter with berries
3. Cashew butter with apple

2) Protein Bars

Focus on protein bars that are low in sugar and low in saturated fat

Examples:

1. Barebells protein bar
