Snacks

Day 1 of BBV, coming to you from BC, Canada.
I was wondering what are the best snacks to have between shakes and meal?
Is it best to eat some protein or to stick with the low calorie snacks?

Hi! Welcome to BBV from Ontario, Canada! When I first started BBV it took me a while to figure out what worked for me. For snacks I will have fruit, vegetables, small salad, cheese. I try to have a low cal snack, as I'm counting calories. Hope this is of some help.I'm loving the shakes and am feeling great!
