Give Yourself An Energy Lift! | Healthy Snacking

Some days you just need a snack! Especially on intense workout days. I find that even though I have a really healthy, high-protein & whole grain breakfast on my spinning days (after I workout), I am still hungry come 10:30 and then again at 2:30 (lunch at noon!).

When hunger hits, I hit the fridge and if there's nothing that looks good to me 2 things happen: I get hangry and I eat something that won't hold me for long. Not good.

Below is a list of really healthy, filling snacks that you can keep around easily so that you can grab it quickly and not worry about eating something you'll regret later.

PS - cleaning out the pantry is a GREAT way to have no bad food choices laying around ;)

1. Fruit - load up a bowl of fruit that you can keep on the table

2. Veggies & bean dip or guacamole (hummus, black bean dip...create your own!)

3. Nuts - almonds, walnuts & cashews

4. Salad, such as Israeli salad, bean salad (make ahead so it's waiting for you!)

5. Smoothie - Put smoothie ingredients in a jar ahead of time and keep in the fridge. Blend!

6. Greek yogurt & berries

7. Cottage cheese with chia seeds & berries

8. Cherry tomatoes & mozzarella cheese

9. Hard boiled egg

10. Whole wheat or multi-grain bread with peanut butter or cheese
