I want your snack ideas!
I am a HUGE snacker. & I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that as long as you’re snacking on clean choices! Today I was at work & realized I didn’t have anything in my purse! How did I let that happen?!
I throw snacks in my purse, gym bag, desk, etc.
Why I love snacking:
-it keeps metabolism working ALL day.
-it helps you get all your servings in fruits and veggie! [nutrientss]
-it’s fun to get creative.
-eat less at larger meals!
Snack 1: apple before lunch [its true, teachers love apples.]
Snack 2: Cheerios w/ organic dried berries 3ish hrs after lunch
Snack 3: mini chobani w/ flax seed [while watching the Bachelor episode I missed last night!] afternoon, before second job.
Here are a few things I snacked on today, what are your favs?!
Celery and almond butter! Grapes!
Ah now that you said grapes, I’m totally craving them! Also, I was just thinking I haven’t seen a post of yours in awhile and I was like where’d she go?! And then I realized I’m not following you! I don’t know how it happened but I’m glad I realized it now! Oh AND I’ll be in DC/Baltimore next week so if you have any recommendations let me know!!
Lots of carrots.
And I just made protein bars – whey, peanut butter, amaranth soaked in a little milk, a few oats, honey. They’re awesome
:o oh my gosh! I’m totally trying that, I’ve always wanted to make my own. I’m assuming you bake them?
No baking – it was all a bit of an experiment. Toasted the amaranth, added milk while it was hot, left to soak. Then added the whey and honey and a bit more milk as it was too stiff. But I added too much so had to add some oats to get the right consistency.
Then I just pressed it into a square cake tin and popped it in the fridge…
That’s awesome! I hope to see more recipes from you on your blog!
I’ll try again
rice cakes with pb or avocado!
Oh my gosh, never tried that! I put avocado on everything so that’s a good low cal option! Any favs for rice cakes?
I actually love putting it on Quaker white cheddar rice cakes.. Sounds weird but it’s soo good!
Carrots with hot sauce or salsa, dry special k, & lately whole grain pb cracker snack packs. If I’m realllly hungry I’m make some quick oatmeal with coconut flakes or bananas
Lately, my favorite snacks have been clementines, almonds, and string cheese!
Yumm string cheese. Also, I can’t access your blog from your comment! It takes me to your old one :( I want to read!
-Hummus on a tortilla or hummus with veggies
-Kale chips
-Primal Meatless Vegan Jerky Soy- they’re great for an on the go snack and to put on salads or sandwiches.
Love the meatless vegan jerky idea!
I’ve been eating animal crackers lately, but I love cheese and crackers, apples with peanut butter, bananas with peanut butter, hummus and veggies, mangoes with strawberries, an I love cottage cheese.
YUM. I really need more hummus in my life great idea! Also, I see that your URL is blogspot. How do you cross into WordPress? Can you link it so you can have the same URL?
Do you mean for like commenting? I’m totally new to all this so I’m still learning! If for commenting, I just type my e-mail, name, and URL into your comment form and it lets me comment. I have to manually subscribe to reply comments for each post or check back for replies, but blogspot let’s me subscribe to any host sites so I have a ton of wordpress blogs on my blogroll.
Kind bars! I hoard them in my purse and in the diaper bag. I sneak them like an addict because I don’t want my husband or kids stealing them from me. Is this greedy? Yes. Is it necessary? Yes.
