I love snacks. I probably love them too much - which is what eventually lead me to this real food path. I don't advise hunger based diets. You know how there are mean drunks? Well I'm a mean hungry person so I always have snacks in my purse. On work days I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, a morning snack around 9:30, and an afternoon snack around 3:00. I'll share some of my favorite real food snacks. I haven't made a big switch to organic food, but I do try to buy some organic food if the price is comparable to regular food and if it looks fresh.
Mixed Nuts
One or two handfuls of one or more of the following:
- almonds (raw - no salt, sugar, or other flavoring)
- walnuts (raw)
- pistachios
Natural Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
- on a spoon
- on apple slices (Anna and I really like apple sandwiches with peanut butter b/w two apples slices cut the round way with the center/seeds cut out)
- on celery
- on plain or lightly salted rice cake
Berries
Perfect for a sweet craving
- strawberries
- blueberries
- blackberries
- raspberries
Store Bought
- LARABAR
- hummus (I'm probably supposed to make this, but I don't want to right now) and veggies
- Mini Babybel light cheese
Special Treat
- Toaster Treats
Ok, so these do not taste like Pop-Tarts at all. I think they taste more like buttery jelly biscuits. They are very addictive - I think because of all the butter. I made a few with peanut butter and jelly, and those were my favorite. I will not make these very often because I end up eating all of them. On another note I had a regular Pop-Tart the other day, and it wasn't even good. Maybe my taste buds are changing.
Happy snacking!
