Do you often have the urge to snack? Don’t reach for greasy potato chips or something that will ruin all of the hard work you've put into your body today. Instead, try a twist on the classic snack: peanut butter and fruit!

Though peanut butter has been a part of snacks for years it’s not exactly calorie-free. One tablespoon of it is actually about 94 calories, which can really add up if you are being generous with your dip. But, no worries; we have an answer to your snacking needs.
