Busy people rarely have time to sit down and eat a "full meal" (a group of foods eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner), but fortunately, they do have healthy "options" (choices) for snacks. People who are in a hurry can easily "grab" (take something quickly) items like "hard-boiled eggs" (eggs that are cooked in their shells in boiling water, so that they become solid), "granola bars" (hard, rectangular bars formed from a mixture of oats, dried fruit, nuts, and honey), or a "handful" (the amount that can be easily held in one's hand) of nuts.

Cut-up fruits and vegetables are good options for healthy snacks. Apple slices, "carrot sticks" (carrots that are cut into smaller, rectangular pieces), and "orange segments" (the pieces of orange that are easily separated from each other, without the skin) can be prepared in just a few minutes. And many people refer to a banana as "nature's perfect snack," because it is delicious and easy to "transport" (take from one place to another) within its own "skin" (the outer layer). Other healthy snacks include packaged items, such as an "individual portion" (serving; the amount of food intended for one person to eat at one time) of "yogurt" (thick, fermented, sour, milk, often flavored with fruit).

Finally, some people like to take the time to make a "smoothie," which is a thick drink made by mixing fruits, vegetables, and milk, juice, or yogurt in "blender" (an electric mixing machine). It takes just a few minutes to make, but "packs a lot of nutrition" (has a lot of nutritional value), if you avoid including items with too much sugar.
