Hangry? Drop the Snickers and Grab a BALANCED Snack!

Hey Fruit and Veggie Challengers!




Are you hungry?


I’m finding that if I workout extra hard or don’t eat quite enough for one of my meals, I gett a little shaky and a little hangry between meals. Anyone else?


If that’s you...don’t go hungry...it will only make you more likely to eat mindlessly and ravenously during your next meal and THAT will not make you happy! LOL!


So...what can we snack on? My suggestion is to eat some balanced snacks. The following are pretty good ones and if you have some you love...please share below!

• Hummus with carrots, celery, radish, peppers, or cucumber

• Celery sticks or Romaine lettuce leaves stuffed with tuna salad or salmon salad--you can add chopped tomatoes or brined pickles to your lettuce rolls or add capers to your celery sticks!

• Sweet Potato “Toast” topped with almost anything! Tuna and cucumber. Hummus and sliced radish. Almond butter and berries. Mashed avocado with red chili pepper flakes. Guacamole.

• Apple slices with crunchy almond butter

• A handful of nuts, berries, and coconut flakes

• Hard boiled eggs

• Goji Berries and nuts

• Seeds (pumpkin, sesame, sunflower) with fruit

• A small cup of broth based Soup

• If you do dairy, plain unsweetened organic yogurt with fresh or frozen berries mixed in

• Egg Muffins--NOT to be confused with an Egg McMuffin! LOL! (Egg Muffins are made from eggs and finely chopped veggies whisked together and then baked in muffin tins. After they’re cooked, you keep them in the fridge for a quick little snack!)

• A rice cake topped with hummus and veggies, tuna and pickles, or avocado and chicken

• Mary’s Gone Crackers topped with Sardine/Anchovy Pate (Fancy!)

So how did your day go today? Feelin’ good?
