Tony Horton's Top 10 Snack
Ideas By Tony Horton, creator of
P90X®
I rotate through this list of in-between
goodies all week long. I'll even use the PROBAR and the protein shake as meal
substitutes. Most of the things on this list can be packed up for travel time.
The bars, pretzels, nuts, and graham crackers are perfect fast foods for when
you're away from home. So no more excuses! Below are my top 10 snacks and one
bonus recipe!
 My sticky bar of course (with banana, peanut butter, and
granola); see below
- Almond butter (thinly spread) on
organic whole-grain toast
- Snyder's of Hanover Organic Oat
Bran Pretzels
- PROBAR nutrition bar (original
blend), 380 calories of pure joy—and 100% vegan
 Protein shakemade
with banana, half cup of frozen blueberries and strawberries, one tablespoon of
flaxseed meal, two ice cubes, protein powder, and rice milk
- Food For Life's Ezekiel 4:9 cereal
with almonds mixed into 8 ounces of plain nonfat yogurt and half cup of fresh
blueberries
 Handful of raw mixed nuts
- Mi-Del Honey Grahams (whole wheat;
eight crackers are 280 calories)
- CLIF Nectar bars—I like the
cinnamon pecan (four organic ingredients and only 170 calories)
- LARABAR snack bars (ingredients:
dates, pecans, almonds; 220 calories)
