Broccoli & Kale Pizza Crust<\/a><\/h3>\n

Sneak more greens into your diet with a pizza crust made of broccoli and kale. It’s a lighter take on pizza crust to curb your afternoon cravings and hold you over until dinner. Your move, cauliflower crust.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Avocado Tzatziki Dip<\/a><\/h3>\n

This Greek-inspired tangy dip is a great alternative to traditional sour cream and ranch dips. With a base of Greek yogurt and kicks of lemon and jalapeno, it checks all the flavor boxes without packing in the calories, fillers, or fats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Crunchy Red Dragon Fruit Chips<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Corn, Pea, Bean, and Quinoa Crisps<\/a><\/h3>\n

Two handfuls of these salty snacks are only 120 calories and perfectly complement your favorite salsa or hummus. You may not find a whole lot of nutrient content, but it does add a bit of protein, fiber, and heart-healthy fats to your snack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sweet & Spicy Glazed Carrots<\/a><\/h3>\n

Vegetables are an underrated snack. Add a serving of vegetables and vitamin A to your afternoon pick-me-up with a handful of carrots. Pair raw carrots with a dip or roast a few slices with garlic. Either way, you’ll be full from the fiber.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
