Some of my FAVORITE SNACKS
Green apple cut up sprinkled with cinnamon (95 calories) or if I need a bigger snack I spread a slice or two with some almond butter (about 1 tbsp. 100 calories, 196 calories total).
“Siggi’s” or “Fage” Greek yogurt (about 100 calories per serving)… This snack is my favorite, 15 grams of protein too! Sometimes I add some berries, wheat germ and agave for a fun treat.
My protein shake (always a little different) base is: 1 cup non-fat non-sweetened almond milk, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 heaping tbsp. vitamineral greens. Other possible additions could be: ½ banana, mint leaves, blueberries, almond butter, bee’s pollen, ground flax seed. All depending on how hungry you are and what your body needs. Of course there are a million recipes for smoothies and protein shakes, just make sure that when you buy or make yours it’s not overloaded with calories or else use it as a meal substitution.
Dates! They are the perfect sugary snack when you finish working out or when you are craving sugar. A couple of they suckers are all you need to your sugar fix.
Almonds eat 10 of these nuts for a 100-calorie power snack, that fills you up.
Raspberries, the ultimate guilt free super food at 64 calories per cup you can afford to eat the whole carton like a bag of chips – Yum!
