Healthy Snacker

I am definitely a healthy snacker. And a healthy eater in general too. All around I feel better about myself and my body knowing that I am putting “good” things in it.

I try to avoid the following at all costs – won’t buy them, touch them, or even even allow them in my pantry:

Potato Chips

Cookies

Candy

French Fries

Onion Rings

Tater Tots

Donuts
Snack Cakes (what I would give to eat a frozen Yodel)

You get my point. I don’t touch the bad stuff b/c I don’t want a huge butt.

That doesn’t mean that I don’t crave those yummy items though.

If I feel like I need a french fry, I make my own thinly sliced oven roasted potatoes.

If I want a piece of candy, I’ll have a few jelly beans.

Anytime I have a sweet tooth I turn to fruit! Everything tastes better with honey.

And once in a blue moon I eat some bbq baked lays.

Sliced banana/apple + 1 tablespoon honey + 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Sliced apple/banana + 1 tablespoon reduced fat peanut butter

1 cup applesauce + 1 tablespoon all natural fruit preserves + 1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup fat free cottage cheese + fresh chives + black pepper
OR
1 cup fat free cottage cheese + all natural fruit preserves

Celery + reduced fat peanut butter + raisins (Ants on a log anyone?)

Carrot sticks + homemade hummus + hot sauce

Laughing Cow cheese + apple slices

Imitation crab chunks + lettuce cup + spicy mustard

What is your favorite healthy snack?!
