Why This Cucumber Snack Box is Healthy:

Cucumbers are extremely hydrating since they are made up of 96% water, while blueberries are loaded with antioxidants that help boost your immune system.

Why It Works for Weight Loss:

Crackers are a low-calorie alternative to chips. Guacamole is a sneaky source of protein and a good source of monounsaturated fat to keep you feeling full longer. Note about calories and snacks: We generally recommend a snack be about 200 calories and this one is over, but because of the benefits from the fiber, antioxidants and healthy fat it's worth it and these are healthy calories!
