Ready When You Are: Smart Snacks

Whether it’s hitting the gym, spending a day on the slopes, or powering through errands, it’s easy to forget to fuel up. But the right snack can help you stay energized and ready for whatever’s next.

The key? Snacks that travel well, taste good, and give your body something it can actually use. Here are some ideas simple enough to prep, but smart enough to keep you going.

1. Rice Cake Sandwiches
   Spread a thin layer of nut butter between two rice cakes and wrap them up like a mini sandwich. Add sliced strawberries, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or drizzle of honey for extra flavor. Light, crunchy, and satisfying.
2. Keep a stash of frozen grapes in the freezer and grab a handful on your way out. Paired with a string cheese, it’s a refreshing, no-mess combo that delivers natural sugars, protein, and just enough fat to hold you over.
3. Jerky or Meat Sticks
   Portable, high in protein, and great for curbing hunger fast. Look for options with simple ingredients. And if you’re at the gym, REVIVE has Wicked Cutz ready to grab on your way out.



4. Protein-Packed Energy Bites
   No baking required. Combine oats, nut butter, honey, and add-ins like chia seeds or protein powder. Roll into bite-size balls and store in the fridge or freezer.
5. Roasted Seaweed + Almonds
   A salty-satisfying combo with crunch, healthy fats, and minerals. Bonus: It’s ultra-light and packs easily.

6. Savory Oatmeal Jar
   Make-ahead oats don’t have to be sweet. Try cooked oats with a soft-boiled egg, hot sauce, and everything bagel seasoning. Store in a mason jar and reheat when needed.

These snacks are built for real life—things you can prep ahead, throw in a bag, and feel good about eating anywhere. Try mixing in one or two new ideas this week to keep things interesting (and to avoid snack burnout).
