Healthy Challenge - Day #16 -- Snack Smart

Snack Smart!

We all get snacky and having a good healthy snack during the day can be a good thing. It helps keep your metabolism working and in turn allows your to lose more weight.

Here is a list of my favorite HEALTHY snacks:

-Raw Almonds
-Frozen Yogurt Dots
-Bell Peppers
-Olives (any kind will help satisfy a salty crave)
-Mix some M&Ms with granola
-Mini Rice Cakes
-Dried Fruit
-Cottage Cheese and Fruit
-Whole Wheat Bread and Peanut Butter

What are your favorite HEALTHY snacks?

  1. Great ideas! I like celery with almond butter (you can make it at home cheaper than buying it), and I actually like some of the "green" shake recipes I've tried. They fill you up for a while and get you your veggies for the day!

  4. I love nuts! They're easy to just grab a handful which limits how much I eat. Or just carrots and celery, though usually with hummus. Snack time is where I usually have to be really careful to not grab sweets. Thanks for the ideas to make it easier!

    1. You know I don't have a lot of experience with hummus but I'd love to try it sometime. :)

    2. You can get it at any grocery store. Or I know it's actually not too hard to make! Most of my family doesn't like hummus. I think it's more of an acquired taste. Or they don't worry as much about what they're eating so they eat other stuff.
