I get this question a lot: “what can I snack on?” So we know we should be eating more fruits and veggies, healthy fats, whole grains, and organic lean protein, but seriously, what can we snack on that is healthy and satisfying?! 


Here are some of my favorites, enjoy the recipes too!
  • Organic Nori seaweed – wrap up some avocado, sprouts, lettuce & tomatoes

  • Celery, carrots, cucumber, or jicama sticks with hummus
  • Almond milk & chia seed pudding (1 cup milk + 2Tspn. chia seeds, let sit for 1 hour or overnight in fridge. For yummy toppings, add fresh berries, bananas, coconut flakes and raw honey)
  • Dried fruits like mangos, dates, apricots, figs (look for the ones without added oil, sugar, or sulfites)
  • Lara bars / kits organic bars
  • Organic gluten free crackers (Mary’s Gone or Brown Rice Crisps)
