Hey everyone. My husband and I prepared a ton of clean eating meals on Saturday and we have been so happy we did so. It's so easy just to grab a meal! But here's my question...what's your favorite healthy, clean eating snacks? I need snacks that include a carb and protein. TIA

    Great question! My favorite snacks include:

    *ULTIMATE FAVORITE: place all within a blender (I use a personal one to take on the go)--banana, peanut butter powder, plain greek yogurt, milk/water, chocolate chips, raisins. Of course, the latter two are going to be minimal.

    *kale salad--you can place various toppings to increase the protein intake.

    *raw firm tofu garnished w/ soy sauce, crushed black pepper, and sesame oil (optional)

    Best,
    Michelle

    Thanks ladies. I'll have to try the power crunch bars. I'll have to try that shake as well. Both sound yum.

    - banana or apple with peanut butter (+ sultanas)

    - fresh fruit (berries, grapes + cherries especially) + greek yoghurt (liberte lemon is my fave, but you use plain to taste)

    - frozen grapes or frozen bananas, add yoghurt or peanut butter or a handful of nuts for protein

    - dried fruit with nuts
    dates, dried apricots and cashew nuts, pistachios, almonds, brazil nuts

    avocados with a little lime juice or guacamole, I like to eat the guacamole with carrots, as to avoid extra calories on chips, also in the summer i have a dessert maker (yonana, but I have a different brand) where you make frozen treats with nothing but fruit, and they have awesome recipes that come along with the machine, I also love apple chips

    Don't know what you mean by clean or how much protein is needed or the calories you are seeking, but snacks I'd eat for protein and carbs include:

    Homemade trail mix of nuts and dried cherries (some protein, not a lot)

    Smoked salmon and berries/apple slices

    Greek yogurt, possibly with some fruit or raw veggies

    Quest bar

    Banana and hard boiled egg

    Epic bar (this has been recommended to me but I haven't tried it yet, and I am skeptical until I do--it's jerky with dried fruit and the like).

    Any mix of these things.

    For snacks and protein I tend to rely heavily on yogurt in general because it's so portable and can be eaten right out of the container. If I were home I'd be likely to have cottage cheese instead. Also nuts, but as mentioned above, less protein.
