A piece of fruit makes a great snack because it’s portable and requires no prep to enjoy. But couldn’t you say the same about vegetables? Look beyond apples and bananas and discover other convenient snack options in colorful, nutrient-dense vegetables. This summer, stock up on organic cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots, celery, and green beans, all ready to wash, trim, and grab—and go, if needed. Add hummus or nut butter for bonus protein. Sure, it’s a bit unexpected to pull a pepper out of your purse, but like an apple, it’s crisp, satisfying, and surprisingly easy to enjoy on the go. And really, who can argue with a gorgeous fresh veggie—and the radiant skin that goes with it?
