Snacking Smart
.jpg)
Be sure to eat every 3-4 hours so your blood sugar levels remain stable and you are less likely to reach for something sugary or another cup of coffee, or chocolate!
Healthy snacks include:
*Green apples with nut butter
*Gluten-free crackers with avocado
*Larabars
*Protein smoothie-whey, hemp, or pea protein (add some dark leafy greens!)
*Nuts/seeds/trail mix (make sure nuts and seeds are raw, NOT roasted),
*Popcorn (make your own on the stove with organic popcorn, coconut oil, and sea salt)
*Tortilla roll-up-sprouted and gluten-free
*Tortilla chips and guacamole, hummus, salsa, or homemade pesto with veggies,
*Raw carrots, broccoli, cauliflower celery, peppers or veggies with any type of nut butter: peanut, almond, cashew, hazelnut, tahini
*Ants on a log
*Roasted pumpkin seeds
If you are crazy something sweet opt for fruit or a piece of at least 85% organic dark chocolate!
