It's so hard to eat healthy when you're in a hurry! With a little planning ahead you can healthy snacks ready when you are so you are less tempted to reach for sugary, highly processed foods like chips, cookies and snack cakes. One of my favorite healthy snacks is apple slices. Problem is I don't always have access to a knife or the time. They sell pre-cut baggies of apples but they are more expensive and who knows what they put on the apples to keep them crisp and from turning brown.

soaking sliced apples (or pears) immediately in cold lemon water  for 3-5 minutes you can prevent them from browning for days! Monica also has a few other options to try as well. She says this is also great for pre-slicing fruit a day or two before a party so you have one less thing to worry about the day of the event.
