10 Healthy snacks to keep you going
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Everyone has moments of crash and burn when the only thing that keeps them going is chocolate or some other tasty sweet.
Lately we’ve been trying to do our best and bust out the healthy stuff. What’s amazing is how much better we feel once we’ve eaten something substantial.
It’s not rocket science, we know, but it’s great to remind ourselves every now and then.
Here are some of the things we try to munch on when the Gremlin inside is trying to get us to “eat that Kit Kat, it’s OK you’ll workout later”:
- Handful of almonds and Craisins.
- A bowl of mixed greens with mandarin orange pieces, balsamic vinaigrette.
- A small 6 oz yogurt (we avoid fat free because of the fake sweetener, but you can find 99% fat free).
- Handful of baby carrots.
- Water or seltzer water with frozen fruit instead of ice.
- A bowl of Arugula with beets, avocado, and balsamic vinaigrette.
- Fresh piece of fruit that’s in season.
- Green pepper sliced in strips with a tiny dash of lemon and salt.
- Pretzels
- Pudding mixed with some whipped topping and fresh fruit chunks.
**Make sure you always eat a decent breakfast, lunch, and dinner then you won’t be snacking all the time on an empty stomach.**
What are your tips for beating the snacking habit with something healthy?
