I erased the Energy Snacks you need to get through your day from yesterday's email. So here you go!
Healthy Energy Snack Ideas
PROTEIN loaded snacks for a steady burning metabolism. Avoid the highs and lows of sugar.
Low-fat cottage cheese with diced cucumber, radishes, or peaches and granola
Low-fat cottage cheese with chopped tomatoes, red onion and zucchini, seasoned with salsa
Low-fat cottage cheese with unsweetened canned pineapple chunks and fresh mint
Edamame
Chicken Pita: Diced cooked chicken with low-fat hummus and stuffed into pita with shredded lettuce and tomato
Ricotta-Fruit Parfait: Low-fat yogurt sweetened with orange juice concentrate and layered with sliced strawberries and fat-free granola
POST WORKOUT cool down ideas. For those hot and humid days.
Low-fat fruit smoothie
Popsicles made from any kind of fruit juice
Chilled watermelon wedges
Iced herbal or green tea
Tomato juice spiked with fresh lemon or lime juice
COLORS!!
It's fun to vary vegetable snacks by thinking in colors.
Have a green snack today, an orange one tomorrow and a red one the next day.
Roasted or grilled veggies lightly coated with salsa in a warm tortilla
Mixed veggie sticks with low-fat spinach dip
Skewers of cherry tomatoes, diced zucchini and cubes of low-fat mozzarella or other cheese
Avocado, diced and tossed with lime juice, cilantro, and hot sauce
Slow-roasted tomatoes with a dab of pesto
