Healthy Snack ideas

Why oh why can healthy snacks be so hard!?!?!

I think we seriously over think snacking.... We do need to eat every 3 hours, so snacks are an important part of the day! But... keep it simple and PREPARE ahead of time! 

Plan your snacks for the week... Prep them, put them in containers for each day and be done with it! 

Make healthy snacking just as easy as junk food snacking! - prep and go! 

The Goal is that at EVERY snack or meal you are eating a protein paired with a complex carbohydrate... 

Many people fail to do this- especially during snacks!

Here are my top 10 healthy snack ideas. Most of these can be on the go snacks too!

1. Apples/Banana/Celery and Nut Butter

2. Smoked Wild Salmon and Whole Grain/Wheat or Brown Rice crackers

3. Cottage Cheese and any Fruit of your choice

4. Veggies and Hummus

5. Greek Yogurt, Fruit, Nuts and cinnamon
(Can add in flax, chia, raw honey etc)

6. Trail Mix

     *  I suggest throwing your own together to avoid added sugars in the dried fruit

7. Shakeology!

8. Celery and Salsa (pico de gallo)

9. Nut Butter and Brown Rice Cakes (you can even top with strawberries, bananas, raisins...)

and last but NOT LEAST...

10. Kale Chips (yes this is a source of protein and complex carb all in one!)
