Clean Eating Series: Healthy Snacks! (My Top 5!) PLUS a GIVEAWAY!

Healthy Snacks! (My TOP 5 Favs)
PLUS a GIVEAWAY (see the end)

Okay! So I've had some requests for healthy go to snacks I love!

I want to share some basic just prep and grab as you go snacks and hacks, but I also want to share a couple that you can make ahead of time and enjoy throughout the week. :)

1. Fresh Fruits and Veggies! This is by FAR  my number one. If I have a choice between eating a fruit/veggie vs a carb, I'll go for this! Pair apples or bananas with PB on whole wheat toast for a more hearty snack!

2. Raw nuts. Peanuts, Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews--lower sugar nuts are the best! You can snag most of these in bulk at WinCo, Sprouts, or Costco and get a LOT that will last you a LONG time. :)

3. KIND Bars. These are seriously a MUST in my house. I can't go without. My favs. are the dark chocolate with Sea Salt

4. Healthy Fruit and Veggie Dip (serve with fruit, or celery) I LOVE this tip. Make it ahead of time, keep in the fridge, and wah-lah! Snacks for days!
Healthy fruit dip

1/4 c plain Greek yogurt
1 -2 tsp nut butter of choice
1 tsp honey or vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon 

Mix up together and serve with fruit or even celery is pretty good too! 

5. Oven Roasted Veggies (like kale, green beans, asparagus, zucchini chips)
       Preheat the oven to 350. Spray desired veggie lightly with cooking spray. sprinkle lightly with seasonings (I prefer a little salt and a little garlic powder--1/8-1/4 tsp each). Cook for 8-10 min or until desired crispiness has been reached. (Green beans should be on a higher heat like 375 for about 15 min to get them more crispy).

I hope you enjoyed this!
