I'm a single mom, so when I go grocery shopping, I have my 11-year-old son in tow. The trip down the grocery store aisles is peppered with calls of "Can we try this?" and "Mom, this looks really good!" Unfortunately, the things that "look good" often aren't terribly good for you. Usually I say yes to one or two treats, but other than that I load our cart up with healthier alternatives. Once we're home, my son doesn't seem to miss the sugary treats at all.

Revolution Health has an article with grocery shopping tips including a list of healthy snacks. Veggies, fruits, whole-grain foods, and low-fat dairy are the stars of the list -- they're always healthy, energy-boosting snacks. Take a look at the gallery to see the top picks.
