I'm Back...with snacks!!

It's been far too long since my last post. The easiest way to sum up why is school...'nuff said.

I'm sure you are all wondering how Michelle's Mission turned out and what's happening with Jessica's Journey. Well, don't fret! I will have posts from both of them within the week :)

In the mean time, one of the most frequently asked questions I get is "What do I eat for snacks?". The first thing to do is stop thinking of meals v. snacks. "Snacks" can quite simply be smaller versions of "meals", like a small portion of leftovers. The key to success is preparation! Make sure you are cooking multiple meals at a time and cooking more food than what you plan to eat at that moment to ensure you have food for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Always have your cooler/lunchbox with you and fill it with more than you think you need for the day, this way you will always have access to clean food! Here are some more ideas for snacks that you can mix and match:
  • Sliced Veggies (bell pepper, green beans, snap peas, jicama, cucumber,  carrots, etc.)
  • Guacamole/avocado
  • Boiled eggs
  • Deli meat (nitrite/nitrate free)
  • Jerky (nitrite/nitrate free, gluten/soy free!)
  • Smoked Salmon (always wild caught!)
  • Olives (olives, salt and water only!)
  • Coconut Flakes
  • Nuts (in moderation!)
Happy snacking!
