1. Avocado toast with an egg and Sriracha.

Figs are a great combo, but you can also try berries, orange slices, or any other fruit, really!

6. Dried cranberries, almonds, and pumpkin seeds.
7. Oven-roasted chickpeas.
8. Cucumber and cream cheese bites.
"Multigrain crackers topped with a little bit of cream cheese, salt and pepper, and either grape tomatoes, cucumber slices, or avocado." —maeganc4aa4e48b1
9. Frozen grapes.
10. Ants on a log.
It's a snack that combines peanut butter and celery sticks as the "log" sprinkled with raisins on top as the "ants." You can also substitute raisins for dried cranberries, cacao nibs, or dark chocolate chips.
11. Almond butter + a banana + something crunchy.
12. Toast with cottage cheese, pineapple, and cashews.
13. Egg-white breakfast cups.
"You can obviously have them for breakfast, but if you make them in a mini muffin tray and store them, they're perfect for a protein-filled snack on the go." —Andrew Ziegler, Facebook
