26 Healthy Mediterranean Diet Snacks to Keep You Full All Day
Avocado, grapes, hummus, cheese—if these are your go-to foods, you’re in luck: They’re all part of the Mediterranean diet, a meal plan that focuses on eating whole grains, veggies, beans, low-fat dairy and lean meats.

So toss aside that bag of chips—here are 26 Mediterranean diet snacks (like veggie sushi and raw brownie bites) that are as satisfying as they are good for you.
