So the list could go on forever and we might have different tastes, so here’s a good rule of thumb :)
If it has to convince you it’s healthy, it probably isn’t. Just as if someone has to convince you they’re religious, they’re probably not.
Go for the natural power foods like almonds, avocados, celery + PB, boiled eggs, most berries, and steamed broccoli (just throw some EVOO on it with a few herbs). This is my usual snack list that I nibble on between meals.
They may seem boring but they’re foundational foods and ones that are mentioned over and over again for a reason!
Mexican night can be healthy too! Grab some corn tortillas, cook lean ground turkey, and mix together black beans, corn, red pepper, cilantro and lime juice for a salsa topping!
It’s really as good as it looks :)
Cilantro Chickpea Lime Salad!
The best foods are those with the least amount of ingredients. Exactly what the title says, just 3 ingredients:
Cilantro, Lime & Chickpeas!
Derrrricious
This is awesome!
My motto at the supermarket: “The fewer the ingredients, the better!”
To just put this into perspective for you guys, 1 Gallon = 3.79 Liters
That means miss Coke’n Carla (random name) was drinking roughly 2.6 gallons of coke A DAY!
Those of you additionally curious, yes….that’s 281 grams of sugar per day from her drinking habits alone.
This excludes any of her actual dietary intake, which we can assume didn’t consist of the healthiest options available.
As us fitness professionals like to say, “Everything In Moderation!”
Frozen Fruit Pops!
So for these awesome pops:
- Take any fruit of your choice, slicing it very thin
- Arrange and place the inside a typical popsicle container
- Then pour some juice inside to fill in the spaces and glue together the fruit
- Place in the freezer, let it freeze and then enjoy!
Hot summer days are already on us so make this one of your go-to desserts!
Please tell me i’m not the only one that waits an entire year for the Cadbury bunnies to lay their creme filled chocolate eggs?
Can someone please tell me where I can find one of these creme filled chocolate laying creatures as a pet?!?!?! ^^
Apple PB & Choco Chip Sandwich!
Another amazing snack! Quick & health yet again :)
- Take and decore 1 apple
- Lay apple on it’s side and cut roughly 1/4 inch slices (you can have them thicker if you prefer!)
- Lather peanut butter on one slice, drizzle a few chocolate chips, place the 2nd slice on top and presto!
You now have an amazing and very easy snack (or meal!)
Frozen Yogurt Covered Strawberries
The perfect dessert! Or snack if you wish ;P
- Shave off the top of the strawberry, removing the stem and leaves.
- Then dip them in yogurt (flavored greek yogurt or something similar), placing on a tray. Don’t bunch them up in a bag! Or it will look like a hobbit hill of yogurt :D
- Put them in the freezer and in a matter of time, you have yourself frozen bite-sized yogurt covered strawberries!
Let me know if you tried them and what you think!
A very healthy lunch option! Lettuce wraps with sliced cucumber, turkey and hummus.
One of my FAVORITES and having it again today! Incredibly simple and quick to make, give it a try!
