Snacking can be tricky and a slippery slope when you’re trying to be healthy, lose weight, and getting fit! So many “healthy snacks” in the grocery store can be deceiving, labeled as healthy, but can sabotage your weight loss.  I am going to share with you, MY top 5 favorite healthy snacks, that always fit well into my healthy meal plan, provide me fuel in my workouts, and keep me on track!

1. Apples and Almond Butter

This is definitely one of my favorites! Super easy, and delicious! I usually use about 1-2 tablespoons of almond butter. My favorite brand of  almond butter is BARNEY BUTTER. It is the creamiest of all the brands I have tried. Wanna add even more flavor? Sprinkle some cinnamon or unsweetened coconut flakes on top!

2. Veggies and Hummus

You can not go wrong with this one. Perfectly crunchy w salty! I can’t keep enough hummus in my house! The kids LOVE IT. Forget veggie dip, or chips and dip, this combo is DELISH. And its pretty too! 🙂

3. Avocado Toast

Avocado. Ahhhhh, I love it! My favorite healthy fat. I eat it every day! So So Good. Take a slice of sprouted whole grain toast, or gluten free if need be, and spread avocado over it, sprinkle some salt and crushed pepper, and you have a delicious snack! Want to make it a post workout meal or breakfast? Add an egg on top! You can’t go wrong with it. Super filling, super delicious, super easy !

4.  Chocolate SuperFoods Mug cake!

This is one of my favorite ways to satisfy my sweet tooth or cravings! Also, super easy. I don’t do complicated in this house.

Ingredients:

* 1/4 tsp baking powder

* 1 tbsp sweetener Stevia (optional) *

1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology

*dash of salt

* 1 egg

* optional mix in: 1 tsp peanut butter, cocoa powder, * 2 or 3 tbsp vanilla almond milk (unsweetened)

Directions: 1. In a mug mix Shakeology, baking powder, salt, cocoa, and sweetener.

 2. Next, mix in an egg and 2-3 tablespoons of water/milk.

3. Mix until dry ingredients are wet.

4. If you’d like to add peanut butter, put one dollop in the center and push it down a bit.

5. Microwave for 90 sec.

6. When it is done the edges will pull from the sides.

7. Enjoy!

5. Banana with Peanut Butter

I seriously LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. LOVE IT. You can do this with natural peanut butter or almond butter. You can’t go wrong with either one. I would limit the amount of nut butter to 1-2 tablespoons. And like the apple recipe above, it is delicious with cinnamon sprinkled on top. If you’re feeling crazy, go ahead and throw some dark chocolate chips on top as well!

BOOM! 5 DELICIOUS CLEAN EATING SNACKS EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE CAN ENJOY!
