It’s 3 p.m., and you’re working on that deadline. Or maybe you just picked the kids up from school, and they’re begging for a treat.

Yes, it’s 100% snack time, and you need a boost to get through the afternoon.

Wawa is conveniently right around the corner, but you’re also trying to work on your healthy eating habits… Aren’t all Wawa snacks high in sugar and salt?

Oh no, definitely not!

Let this dietitian guide you to 7 healthy, nutritious, and delicious snack options at Wawa. Find the best choice to help you stay healthy and energized this fall. 

1. Chobani Greek yogurt with a side of pumpkin seeds. Creamy yogurt hits the spot, while giving you plenty of protein and boosting your daily calcium intake. Top with some pumpkin seeds for a crunchy texture, and added antioxidants, minerals and vitamins.

2. Apple and peanut butter dipper – because who does not love peanut butter? Nut butters provide heart healthy unsaturated fats and a little bit of protein. The apple slices give crunch, fiber, and flavor of course. You never need to feel hungry again!

3. A pack of hard-boiled eggs combined with either the baby carrots or a piece of fruit (or a fresh fruit cup!) makes for perfect high protein post-workout fuel to help your muscles recover. A snack classic.

4. 1-2 pieces of string cheese (or cheddar cheese) and a snack pack of grapes. A blast from the childhood past for many – string cheese is an easy way to get some protein in and it lasts for at least a couple of hours in your bag… Did you know that in France, cheese is always served at room temperature? Cheese and grapes are the sophisticated snack choice!

5. Turkey and Cheese Pinwheels. When you know you’ll need to work or study late and you still don’t want to be absolutely starving at dinner time, go for a sturdier snack that feels like a mini meal. The 20 grams of protein in this Wawa menu item will keep you feeling satiated for hours.

6. A Protein Bar. Most Wawa stores carry a wide variety of snack and protein bars. I love the Barebells bars, which have 20 grams of protein and delicious flavors. Another good high-protein choice is the Quest bar, which also has just around 200 calories and 20 grams of protein. These protein bars go perfectly with your afternoon cup of Wawa coffee!

7. Blue Diamond Whole Almonds and a Banana – The almonds give you some protein, in addition to important nutrients like fiber and magnesium. Almonds also provide calcium and phosphorus, great for your bone health. That banana adds even more flavor and nutrients such as potassium, which can benefit your blood pressure. I say yes please, to this healthy snack combo.
