“I am kind of obsessed with snacks because I’m such a snacker! When I’m at home my go to’s are usually fruits and veggies. Apples, oranges, pears, cucumbers, carrots or a handful of cherry tomatoes. If I’m on the go I tend to pack a granola bar or something I can eat without having to touch the food because I have a thing with clean hands:) Depending on the day and my activity level I sometimes need a higher calorie snack in the afternoon. On those days I grab a handful of almonds and maybe sprinkle in a few chocolate chips if I’m in the mood for something sweet or a few triscuts with cheese.
Don’t make snacks stressful. Choose things you will eat and prepare ahead of time. If you wait to slice up the Jicama when you’re hungry you will end up eating that convenient cookie on the counter-trust me I know! Avoid eating straight from a bag, instead pour the food into a bowl or on a napkin so you can visualize how much you are eating. If you’re trying to get into the habit of eating healthy snacks make a list of things you have on hand and tape it on your fridge. Just the visual reminder might be enough to help you reach for a juicy pear. Last bit of advice is to take or a moment or two and enjoy the snack-whatever it is.”
