granola bar - It's healthy because it contains grains and fruit - these can be added to the needed amount of servings. It also is not very sugary and has hardly any salt.

apples - These contain a good source of fiber, Vitamin C and a bunch of other antioxidants that are good for your body. It contains no salt, unless added to it. Eating an apple is also a good way of covering your 3-5 servings of fruits a day.

carrots - These are very healthy for you too. They contain B-carotene which your body turns into vitamin A, dietary fiber, antioxidants and minerals that are healthy for you. But watch out for eating too many because your skin could turn orange.

The snack that I like the best is the apple.
