Even those of us who regularly eat healthy and watch our calories sometimes get side tracked because of social functions, sporting events, vacations or we just want to splurge!
One of the fastest ways to get back on track is with some healthy snacks. If you find yourself in a car most of your day or have a long commute make sure you pack some snacks to keep your energy up and keep that boredom from setting in. In the car listen to the same type of music you love to work out with; it will keep you awake, inspired and make that drive more enjoyable. Fill small plastic snack bags with nuts and dried fruits. A bottle of water will help to keep the sleepiness away and, yes, even coffee is good for you! It's what you put in it that's bad so watch the sugars and creamers.
For those of you who bring lunch to work, salads with grilled chicken, raw veggies and walnuts is a high protein healthy way to go. Put your salad dressing on the side or go with vinegar and olive oil. Snacks for the office could include sliced apples dipped in natural peanut or almond butter. Fresh berries in season, walnuts, almonds (just a few), a rice cake, carrots with hummus, green tea and water. NO DIET DRINKS!
These are all easy to prepare and you will feel great at the end of the day. For the after dinner sweet tooth so many of us have try some nonfat Greek yogurt topped with fresh or frozen berries, slices of mango, peach or pineapple.
You can be creative with your snacks and be healthy as well!
