1. Bananas
Bananas are definitely one of the best low-fat foods for snacking on.

They are high in fiber and potassium which is an important mineral for muscle and nerve functioning.
2. Pineapple
Sweet tasting pineapple is so great for a summer day. Cut large chunks and take with you to work or grill for tangy flavor. Pineapple is beneficial for the immune system and contains anti-inflammatory properties.
3. Watermelon
Made from over 90% water, this fruit has antioxidant vitamins A and C and maintains hydration, and is great for skin and hair health.
4. Soups
If you wish to buy packaged and prepared soups watch the salt and fat content on the nutrition panel, as they can be quite high. Soups are quick to make and you can use a wide variety of foods.

Watch out that the sugar and fat content in store bought yogurt is low; buy low-fat varieties. Greek yogurt is an excellent option with many health benefits.

Invest in a quality juicer and whip up fantastic combinations of fruit and vegetable juices and smoothies. This is a convenient way to get a lot of nutrients from food and a great alternative to sugary drinks.
8. Salads
The possibilities are endless, from green leaf salad, pasta salads, coleslaw to chicken salads. There are amazing salad recipes available all over the internet.
9. Grapefruit
