Low-fat or fat-free milk can be added to your favorite cereal for a satisfying breakfast. Pair your favorite yogurt with fruit for an energizing snack. Pro tip: swap your low-fat yogurt for Greek yogurt, which has twice the protein.

Peanut Butter

Who doesn’t love peanut butter? This super-spread can be eaten on almost anything. Make sure to reach for an all natural brand to cut back on saturated fats. Those brands will also last longer when stored  in the fridge.

Water

Water is a must when stocking your mini-fridge. Drinking water instead of sugary drinks is a healthy choice.
