Healthy Snacks

A list of Healthy Snacks

During the day you're constantly wondering... what the heck do I eat at work or school to keep the excess fat off and still provide me with lots of nutritional goodness. We have a list of foods that will help you decide which foods you should have as snacks.

Oatmeal Berry YogurtMix

Ok, I wouldn't call it a snack, it's more of a great healthy breakfast which is made with the following:

Rolled quick oats with water in the microwave

1 Scoop of Chocolate Whey Protein

Natural Skim Milk Yogurt

Frozen Mixed Berries

1 Scoop of Flaxmeal Powder from flax seeds

Green Tea... As a Snack?!

Green tea is LOADED with benefits for your health and should be consumed 4-5 times per week. If you are planning on getting pregnant please look into green tea and folic acid as it may reduce your absoption but if you're not pregnant you're looking at one of the healthiest drinks on the planet. Just boil some water and put your anti-cancer tea bag in and serve.

Protein Shake

A protein shake can be made with a multitude of ingredients but we are strictly talking about an easy shake with water and whey protein isolate (high percentage).

Celery and Almond Butter

We all love peanut butter but almond butter is loaded with vitamin E calcium, iron, mangesium, etc. Celery is one of those negative caloric foods that will help you tie yourself over until the next meal as some people need to keep their mouth busy.

Pizza!?

Pizza is a perfect after workout meal but is usually very high in saturated fat, calories, and lots of high glycemic carbohydrates. If you make pizza try with the following:

Whole Wheat Dough

1 full chicken breast

Yellow and Red Peppers

Chili Powder

Garlic

Low Fat or Skim Milk Cheese

Onions

Pineapple

Fresh Tomato Sauce (homemade)
