We Tried It!

Healthy Snacking

 

I’m a total snacker. I eat when I’m bored, I munch during movies, I even have to eat while I read or FB my friends. Also, I’m one of those chompers who can only bite down on convenient snacks that are easy to make. Let’s face it, I’d love to whip up a low-cal delish treat, but when I’m craving I have zilch patience to put something together.

 

That’s why when I’m on the hunt at my local grocery, I try to stock up my fridge, cabinets and shelves with easy, healthy eats so I don’t overload myself on junk. Here are a few of my fave nibblers!

 

When I want something sweet:

 

Dried or Frozen Fruit

I love dried mangos. Just zip ‘em up in a plastic baggie and their ready to eat when and wherever!
 
My choice for frozen? Bananas! All ya have to do is throw ‘em in the freezer—no peeling necessary—and when you’re hankering for some sweets you’ve got a yummy banana popsicle that won’t melt into an oozing mess.

 

When I want something salty:

 

Edamame

Sprinkle a bit of salt on top and voila! you’ve got yourself an instant snack. Check out our Edamame recipe for cooking up these little guys.

 

Chunks o’ Cheese

Tons of diff cheeses come individually wrapped or in small cubes so that you can pop ‘em in your mouth one slice at a time. Cheese is really filling, so you’ll nix your need to munch in a flash. Eat ‘em with crackers, or if you’re like me, totally solo.

 

Blog it out… What are some of your junkfood alternatives? Do you snack between meals?

hey mod..I want to be healthier but I can't stick to an exceriseing plan any suggestions on one I CAN stick to???

mysty on 10/8/2009 6:00:41 PM

hey mod I want to be healthier but can't seem to stick to an excerise plan any suggestions on how to stick to it??

 

Hey girl, set a goal. Say if you run three times this week, you'll get yourself a smoothie -- any incentive to get going. When it comes to working out, it's all about discipline, but once you get in the groove, it's easy to keep going. Good luck!

My birthday party is November 27th. Do you think a Candyland theme would be fun for girls ages 11-13?




Hey girl, I think it would be a great theme. It's a good way to go back to your childhood roots and satisfy your sweet tooth in the process. Just don't break the game out during the party though, haha! Happy Early Birthday from all of us at GL!
