Apples and pistachios
Making a snack board with apples and pistachios makes for a satisfying snack that offers a slew of features and benefits.
Apples provide satiating fiber, plant compounds, and nutrients like vitamin C. The pistachio addition adds a unique benefit to this snack because they are one of the very few foods high in antioxidants that are also a complete protein—meaning they have all nine essential amino acids normally found in animal-based proteins.
Serving size: 1 medium apple + 1 oz pistachios (about 49 kernels)

Tuna salad and veggies
This twist on a tuna salad sandwich is lighter but just as satisfying. “Mix a 3-ounce can of tuna with low-fat mayo or a bit of mashed avocado,” says Freuman, then pair it with cucumbers or nestle the mixture in endive leaves. You’ll get filling protein from tuna and tons of fiber from the veggies.
