Snack Attack time...

Around 7:00pm today I got a huge snack attack. I knew I needed to fill up quickly because I had a 7:30 dance class to get to.

After looking around at deli's and being unable to find some Greek yogurt, I found the next best thing at a Starbucks: Kind Bars.

I got a fruit and nut Kind Bar which consisted of Almonds, Brazil nuts, peanuts and walnuts. This filling snack had 4 grams of fiber and 180 calories. Most importantly, kept me full during dance class :-). I think I will be getting more Kind Bars!

Snack time...

Everyday, between breakfast and lunch I have a mid morning snack. My snack of choice is usually a Lara bar. I've been obsessed with Lara bars for a few months now. Most of their flavors taste awesome and are produced with all natural ingredients.

Lately, I've been munching on the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip bars. The only ingredients in the bar are: Dates, Peanuts, Chocolate Chips. Seriously, so simple and delicious. The dates add a slight sweetness.

Lara bars can be expensive, up to $1.50/bar. however, I am lucky enough to buy them at Shoprite, where they periodically go on sale for .99 cents. This is when I stock up. Seriously, I will by $50.00 worth of bars! My two favorite flavors right now are Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Coconut Chew.
The great thing about these bars are they are so convenient. Throw them in your bag and you have a great emergency snack.

Now, if you'll excuse me...it's snack time :-)

Snack time...

A delish mango treat from my co worker! So juicy and sweet!

Snack Alert: Avocado yogurt

Who says yogurt needs to be sweet or flavored just with fruit? I decided to make a savory yogurt snack using avocado and some veggies.  Here are the deets for an easy and tasty savory yogurt!

Ingredients:
6oz. Non fat greek yogurt
1/4 avocado, mashed
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 tomato, diced
1/2 onion, diced
White vinegar
Black pepper

Preparation:
Add the vinegar to a bowl and place in tomato and onions.  Allow to sit for ten minutes.  In the mean time, place the yogurt in a bowl. Stir in bell pepper and mashed avocado.  After ten minutes, stir in the tomato and onions and black pepper.  Enjoy by itself or with a slice of whole wheat toast!

Emergency Snack Attack!

I always keep an emergency snack in my bag. This is usually a granola bar or trail mix. The snack that I have been having lately is Kellog's Fiber Plus granola bars. These bars rank in at only two points and the nine grams of fiber in the bar definitely fill you up. Right now my favorite flavor is chocolate peanut butter......mmmmm.... The only downside to these bars is they have a lot of ingredients that I really cannot pronounce. Actually, this is a big downside. On the other hand, when I say these bars are for emergencies,I mean it! What are your healthy snacks?

Snack time....

Hello Everyone! It's that time of day where my tummy is yearning to be filled with something nutritious and delicious. Today's snack is sliced apples with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkling of cinnamon. YUM!


My favorite type of apple these days are Gala. Not too sweet but oh so crisp! Also, leave the peel on your apple for that extra fiber boost. I hope this has inspired you to have a healthy snack today!
