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?
