Whole-wheat crackers
In Tooele, Settlement Canyon is a great place to go for hikes and picnics and its cheap! Only $3 a car load. What a great adventure you could have and a healthy way to do so as well! You can even burn up to 100 calories by hiking up a moderate hill for just 15 minutes, Awesome!

Wrap it at Lunch!
A great and easy lunch idea is a turkey wrap. They are delicious, easy, and a great way to get your veggies in your diet! Here is a great turkey wrap that you can try.
1 whole-wheat tortilla
2 ounces ground turkey breast
2-4 Tomato slices
lettuce
Onions (optional)
Any other fresh vegetables of your choice
Hummus or avocado spread
Prepare by spreading your hummus or avocado on the tortilla then add your turkey breast, tomato slices, lettuce, onions, and any other veggies in the tortilla. Roll tortilla and enjoy! :)
Hint: If you replace mayo with avocado or hummus spread its a great way to cut back on unwanted "bad" fat but it still gives a great flavor to your sandwich or wrap.
