Grab 'n Go Snack Bags

This is a very easy way to stay healthy on a tight schedule! My husband and I enjoy munching on these during our class lectures in the middle of they day when we get hungry! They are very tasty and easy to prepare.  My husband and I had fun making these together!  This particular method gave each of us daily snacks for a week.  Feel free to be creative with the food that you have.  This is just what we had on hand!

You will need:
14 sandwich zip lock bags
Fruit of your choice (make sure they have individual protective membranes, like grapes.  Don't cut up a melon for this... too messy)
Nuts of your choice

On a counter top or table, lay open all the zip lock bags.
One by one, in an assembly line motion, place an even amount of fruit and nuts into each bag.


We used blueberries, apples, oranges, grapefruit....


.... dried cranberries, almonds and walnuts.


Zip everything up and place them in the fridge!  The natural sugars in the fruit will give you a great source of energy, and the protein in the nuts will keep you full until your next meal!
