Snacking FUN!

Snacking is such an important part of being healthy and keeping your metabolism revved up, burning fat and calories! But the key is sensible snacking, that is sticking to servings (easy to spot quantities on the side of the box or bag nutrition label). From health drinks/juices and packaged snacks, you want to look for quality ingredients that will satisfy your sweet and salty self and keep your belly happy throughout the day! A recent trip to our local market brought some fun finds! Baked pea pod crisps, rice crackers with hummus, protein bars of all varieties (macrobar and think thin fiber bars are our fav right now!) Roasted seaweed, yes try it soooo salty good, and almond butter individual squeeze packets (love honey or choc varieties!). Look for snacks that are 150-200 calories, space them out throughtout your day in between meals and for a pick me up after a workout! Snacks should have an ingredient list that is simple, not processed. Nuts, raisins, trail mix, granola, edamame, cheese sticks, bag of veggies, popcorn..the list is endless....all of it is easy to prepare or packaged and ready for you at the grocery store. So get to snacking, fuel those workouts, fuel your mind, ready set GO!
