I like Greek yogurt with hemp, chia, and flax seeds for snacking. Sometimes I'll make a Protein shake with 2 scoops of PB2, or a Quest protein bar. I take fresh fruit with me to work as a mid morning and afternoon snack.

I've been stuck on Greek yogurt w fruit, banana chips, dried cranberries, baby carrots w ranch, cuties, almonds. The key is just to find something you enjoy so you can maintain the way of life eating your version of healthy. I try not to overthink it as I am a beginner as well.

Roasted soy beans. Yummy, crunchy and a good source of protein. I buy them in 50g packs, so I will not overindulge.

Here are some ideas:


Yogurt Parfait
- Plain yogurt (i.e. Fage), sweetened with cinnamon and no-sugar added vanilla extract. (If you need it sweeter initially while you are weaning down off the sweet taste add xylitol, a sugar alcohol that doesn’t raise insulin and helps reduce the risk of tooth decay or, Stevia). Add ½ cup of diced apple for crunch or frozen berries defrosted and with a little of their juice (no sugar added of course) for a great antioxidant punch!

Celery sticks stuffed with
- Peanut or almond butter
- Light whipped cream cheese or ricotta cheese whipped with your favorite herb mix and with chopped olives or walnuts stirred in

Tortilla Roll-ups-using low carb or whole wheat tortillas (have earlier in the day)
- Almond or peanut butter* whipped with light whipped cream cheese or Low Fat ricotta cheese. Spread 1-2 tbsp on tortilla, Add ¼ cup chopped apple for some crunch.
- Cottage cheese or light whipped cream cheese, salsa, chopped red peppers and jicama.

Great portable snacks:
- 10 raw nuts and a fruit serving
- 1 oz cheese (especially string cheese) and a fruit serving.

Apple slices and nut butter


Baked apple
- sprinkle with cinnamon and bake, fill with ricotta or cottage cheese and top with a tbsp of freshly ground flaxseed meal.

Smoothie
- 1 scoop whey protein powder, ½ cup berries, ½ cup plain yogurt
- cottage cheese, ½ cup ice and ½ cup water, cinnamon and vanilla extract.
- Try freezing this and have as a Popsicle

Faux Trail Mix
- ½ cup Kashi Go Lean cereal and 1 tbsp chopped nuts

1 cup veggie soup


Raw veggies and dip
- use olive oil, Dijon and balsamic vinegarette mixed with your favorite spices
