Tips for quick healthy snacks

ALL YOUR MEALS, INCLUDING SNACKS, SHOULD BE A BALANCE OF DIFFERENT NUTRIENTS!

• Handful of nuts and a few pieces of dark chocolate.
  
  
• Slice of cheese and an apple.
  
  
• homemade chicken broth you can add garlic, ginger or sea salt.
  
  
• Tomato sliced, sprinkled with olive oil on a bagel or English muffin.
  
  
• Yogurt, sunflower, pumpkin, or hemp seeds, and berries.
  
  
• Fresh blueberries or grapes with a cup of plain yogurt
  
  
• Avocado with tortilla chips, plantain chips, or Sun chips.
  
  
• Raw carrots and hummus, or celery and peanut butter (a fav treat when I was a kid)
  
  
• A hard boiled egg, piece of chesse, and a few berries or piece of fruit.
  
  
• Chicken breast, nitrate free deli meat, and a cucumber, or carrot.
  
  
• An apple or celery stalk and nut butter, there are others beside peanut, try some cashew butter, or Nutella
  
  
• Yogurt and granola with berries
  
  
• Watermelon or other refreshing fruits. 
  
  
• Papaya with cottage cheese in the middle.
  
  
• Figs and more cheeses (the variety of cheese is endless)
  
  
• Olives right out of the jar, my fav are the stuffed green ones with feta inside
  
  
• Stuffed artichokes (make these ahead of time) or marinated artichokes in a bottle.
  
  
• Nuts with dried fruit (no sugar or soybean oil please)
  
  
• Kale chips and nuts
  
  
• Popcorn popped in coconut oil (SO delicious!)
  
  
• Beef jerky or grass-fed beef sticks
  
  
• Pineapple with cherries or rasberries (stay away from store bought ready made "fruit cocktails", they are full of sugar.
