Snack Often

Plan to snack throughout the day but plan snacks wisely. It's easy to get carried away with all the sugar-free, infinitely processed yet marketed to the T typical snack. I say shoot down the fiber one bars and go with an apple.

Think often, "unprocessed is the process for weight loss/maintenance."

This morning my son, Jax and I always eat our snacks together. We had a simple banana with peanut butter.

Other snack ideas that are Mandy approved:
-A small bowl of natural yogurt with unsweetened granola
-apples and peanut butter
-crisp breads spread with mashed avocado and a squeeze of lemon juice.
-kiwis sliced, and almonds
-hard boiled eggs
-carrot sticks
-cherry tomatoes
-applesauce
-whole grain toast with peanut butter
-multi grain crackers topped with a small serve of cheddar cheese and sliced green grapes
-A small bowl of frozen berries and natural yogurt, topped with flax seeds
-small cup of homemade vegetable soup

If snacking is a big problemo, schedule it into your day. Take a look at the list above and pick a couple of things that sound yummo. Then implement!
