From your teeth to your muscles and bones, the food you eat plays a crucial role in your overall health and well-being. Today, the caring dentists from Four Corners Dental Group in Anchorage and Wasilla, AK, outline a few healthy and delicious snacks to nourish your whole body.

Next time you’re packing a lunch or looking for an easy treat, consider these healthy foods:

• Apples & Nut Butter: Apples are packed with fiber and nutrients, while all-natural, no-sugar-added nut butter–like peanut butter or almond butter—is full of protein and healthy fat. Not only is this snack delicious, but it will also give you an energy boost!
• Hard-Boiled Eggs: Eggs are full of vitamins, essential amino acids, and satisfying protein, leading many nutritionists to call them a “superfood.” Add some salt and pepper to your boiled eggs for a tasty, filling snack.
• String Cheese: String cheese is an excellent source of protein—not to mention fun and convenient! These snacks don’t have to be reserved for kids. If you’re on a calorie-conscious diet, consider a reduced-fat variety.
• Veggies & Hummus: Dip cucumbers, celery sticks, bell peppers, carrots, or any other vegetable of your choosing in hummus. Not only will you fit in a serving of vegetables, but the chickpeas in hummus are packed with protein and healthy fats. 
• Avocado & Whole Grain Toast: Avocados are full of potassium, heart-healthy fats, and fiber, and they aren’t meant only for guacamole. Spread one on some whole wheat toast and enjoy!  
• Greek Yogurt & Fruit: Greek yogurt is packed with protein, calcium, and probiotics that make for a healthy digestive system.
