Frozen Yogurt Covered Blueberries
This is such an easy way to satisfy that mid-day sweets
craving. Simply dip the blueberries into sugar-free Greek yogurt with a hint of
stevia sweetener. This allows you to control the amount of sweetness you desire
instead of flavored yogurt filled with unknown sugars. Such a great
treat for the warmer weather and you won’t feel guilty!
Almond Butter and Celery
Celery is a great veggie option filled with vitamin K, C,
potassium and folate. Slather a bit of organic almond butter on the celery for
some added protein and get a boost to last you throughout the afternoon.
Hard Boiled Egg
Hard boiled eggs aren’t just for Easter! This snack is my
personal go-to for that mid-morning pick me up. I suggest boiling a few on
Sunday evening for easy grab and go throughout the week.
Frozen Grapes
This is so easy and so satisfying. Simply place your bag of
grapes in the freezer and enjoy. It’s like eating little mini popsicles but way
healthier!
Cucumber Slices with Hummus
Cucumber is one of the best snacks that you can get since it
is 90% water. Dip a few cucumber slices in hummus for some added flavor and
protein. This is a way healthier alternative to chips and dip!
Beef or Turkey Jerky
Yes, you heard that right! In correct portions, jerky can be
a great boost of protein. Also, because you are using a lot of chewing motions, you
will feel more satisfied after eating this. Be careful on brands though, opt
for low sodium and more naturally made jerky. My suggestion would be to search your
local farmer’s market for a jerky vendor!
Roasted Chickpeas
Another super easy recipe that will satisfy your craving for
something a little savorier. Toss together chickpeas, olive oil and your
preferred spices and bake on a baking sheet for 20 minutes at 450 degrees.
Pistachios
This is another great source of protein as well as fiber,
vitamins and minerals. Be wary when shopping for pistachios, look for the kind
that is roasted without salt. I would suggest looking at your local farmer’s
market for these as well!
Mini Tomato Pizza Snackers
Slice tomatoes into halves and sprinkle fresh parmesan on
top. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees, or until
cheese is slightly browned. It’s like mini pizzas without all the carbs!
Edamame
This is one of my personal faves. Sprinkle a little sea salt
onto these or dip them in soy sauce. When it comes to soy sauce, look for
liquid amino soy sauce alternative for a guilt free option.
