Vlog #3 - Clean Eating Challenge #1 - Snacks

 

A few ideas:


CLEAN SNACK IDEA #1 
Dates are a staple in my house and a great go to if I need a snack and have a sweet tooth. A great balanced snack is to stuff them with fresh ground peanut butter and sprinkle with unsweetened coconut shreds. 
YUM!!
                                                      



CLEAN SNACK IDEA #2
2-3 Strawberries
small handful blueberries
handful blackberries
1/2 sliced banana
1/4 c plain Greek yogurt
1 pk. Stevia (if desired)
sprinkle with crushed pecans
Great Fuel an hour or so before a workout!
AND Also great for a sweet tooth
!



CLEAN SNACK IDEA #3
 I use Lundberg Organic brown rice cakes (lightly salted). Found at Fred Myer's in the health food section, or Marlene's.
 They are so versatile!
 You can add almond butter and banana, tuna or chicken salad, avocado and tomato, deli meat w/ guacamole .... 
Great balanced snack!

 
CLEAN SNACK IDEA #4
Don't forget those whole food basics for quick grabs at work or home! Fresh fruit and vegies can be quickly paired with Greek yogurt, hummus, or nut butters for a healthy, balanced snack!

CLEAN(ER) SNACK IDEAS (for the car):
I try to keep emergency snacks in the car and gym bag. We all get busy and I don't know about you, but I make poor, desperate decisions when I have low blood sugar and can't think straight. I like the Kind bars for a quick go-to. I also try to keep a container of nuts in my car for a quick grab!
