Let’s talk snacks!
I am a firm believer in snacks! Snacking can get a bad rep but if you are choosing healthy options, snacking can be a crucial part in a healthy lifestyle!
The definition of snack> a small amount of food eaten in between meals. Key word? Small amount, not a whole meal. My advice? Include a healthy fat, carb (think in the form of veggies or fruit) and some protein. A balanced snack helps keep those blood sugar levels stable and the “hangry” feeling from taking over! 🙂
Listed below are several snack ideas for you to choose from. Whether your preference is sweet, salty or crunch, I’ve got ya covered!
