Snack and Meal Ideas!

Here are some meal and snack ideas that I've been eating to keep my full, satisfied, and seeing results. I would love to hear from you!!

Breakfast/Snacks:

Apple slices with Fage 0% Greek yogurt or almond butter, homemade chia pudding {so many recipes for easy chia pudding - and you can add vanilla, cocoa powder, stevia. .. } with fresh berries, fresh fruit and an egg, brown rice cake with natural/raw honey (half tbs) and banana slices on top

Lunch/snacks: Fresh juice (Vital, Suja, or some other cold pressed, fresh and nutritionally dense juice), fresh rolls with tofu {you can buy many places or make them yourself if you want}, spinach salad with berries, raw almonds, and various veggies (including half an avocado). I like to use Health Starts Here no oil dressings from Whole Foods on my salads. Currently I'm obsessed with Bragg Ginger and Sesame dressing. Mojo and Quest bars are also easy and will normally satisfy me for at least an hour or two. In a pinch, they can be a real meal saver.

Dinner: Definitely varies but the goal here is to watch the carb intake and keep it as healthy as possible. I eat a lot of chicken pho with no noodles and added veggies. I don't drink all of the broth because that's so much sodium. Making fresh marinara or meat sauce with bison {or ground turkey, although I think bison is much more delicious} and eating that with whole wheat pasta is good too - then you can pack some up for your lunches if it's too heavy at night. I also love to bake sweet potatoes. . .mmm! It's like veggie candy to me {I know, that sounds like a stretch but they are sweet and delicious!}. Quinoa with a bunch of roasted veggies also a great dinner to lunch meal. Add some wild salmon and you're all set!

Some of my favorite snacks are: turkey breast meat, carrots, apples, oranges, berries, and raw almonds

Other snacks for when you're at home - roasted cauliflower with spicy seasoning (ideally salt free), rice cakes with almond butter, sweet potato baked strips. . . I just purchased a new kind of natural peanut butter with cinnamon and raisins - so good and only 70 calories for 2 tbs. Yes, please!
