9 Healthy Snacks With Fruit That'll Actually Leave You Satisfied

Generally, it's best to combine fruit with another food that's high in protein or fat. But for a quick pre-workout snack or burst of energy, dried fruit can be a great choice, according to Taub-Dix. An especially common choice among athletes, dried mangos make a great pre-workout snack, she says. That's because the body can use the sugar in them as a quick carb for energy while you exercise, she explains.

"Dried fruit can also be a good option when fresh fruit isn't accessible or portable," says Taub-Dix. For instance, if you are hiking, it may be harder to carry (and not crush!) a fresh mango than dried mango.
