Snack Ideas

When it comes to snacking, its easy to throw away all your healthy eating habits if you don't plan ahead! It's important to switch it up and have a bank of go to snack ideas that are easy to throw together. So instead of letting you get to the point where you just grab the first thing in sight, let's gather a list of healthy options. You can print this out, save it to your phone, whatever so that when the time comes, you're prepared.

Why should you eat snacks? Some people have the mentality that the less they eat, the less they weigh....WRONG! You should aim to eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours, and 5-6 times a day. Each meal should be around 200-300 calories depending on your weight goals and body composition. But you are not gorging yourself 6 times a day, you're controlling your portions and eating quality food. Remember, food is fuel!

• 1/2 cup cottage cheese w/ 1/2 cup blueberries
• shakeology covered strawberries
• 1/2 cup greek yogurt w/ 1/2 cup blueberries or other berries and a drizzle of agave nectar for sweetness.
• 1 apple and 14 raw unsalted almonds
• 2 cups of celery and 1-2 tbsp all natural peanut butter (the only ingredient should be peanuts)
