Fruit is arguably the easiest most portable snack I can think of. Need a snack in a pinch? You grab an apple or banana and you go on your merry way.

Enter this sliced apple snack with almond and yogurt dip. The protein and fats from the almond butter and yogurt make this snack Hunger Crushing Combo™ approved (and also a little more exciting).
