When hungry, it’s common to grab whatever food is available. You’ll likely choose something less nutritious if you don’t have healthy snacks.

Therefore, having healthy snack options is essential when working on improving your health.

Carrots are a fantastic choice to keep in your fridge. While some people prefer baby carrots, I like to use large carrots: peel them and cut them into baby carrot-sized pieces.

Store these pieces in a glass container filled with water to keep them fresh and crunchy. Seal the container with a lid, and the carrots will stay crisp for about five days.
