Hi Reader,

​

So, we talk about a lot of things here, healthy living, better choices, yada yada yada, but can we get into some snacks?

I mean, sometimes you just have to live, you know what I mean? But you don’t want all that living to undo everything you're working towards. You need a happy balance.

But let’s be honest here, even though you want to make better choices, you still need that sh*t to taste good.

​

So, what are some decent options? And, more importantly, how can we zhuzh it up a bit? I mean, why be basic, when you can be… EXTRA!

​

Let’s look at a few real life examples:

• Popcorn
• Hummus
• Mixed Nuts

​

Not bad on its own, even in a basic form. Now let's elevate the sh*t out of this shall we? Make this worth our time.
​

Popcorn- let’s do a couple of topping options

• Powdered peanut butter/coconut sugar/salt

(Powered pb had lower calories and fat than regular pb. Coconut sugar is minimally processed, it contains a small amount of inulin which is s soluble fiber which makes blood sugar spikes less likely.)

• Cinnamon/sugar
• Garlic powder/italian herbs/vegan parmesan

​

Hummus- more toppings please!

• Greek style- Chopped red onion/olives/chopped tomatoes/cucumber
• Roasted garlic/toasted pine nut
• Chimichurri

​

Mixed Nuts- let’s do this!

• Candied nuts
• Toasted with spices (curry powder/cayenne pepper/sea salt)
• Pure vanilla extract
• Pumpkin pie spiced​
  ​

So, as you can see, snack time can be fun, tasty, satisfying, and still within the realm of achievable.

​
​Let me know what you think of these and if you have a snack idea you would like to share! If you do, I'll feature you on my social channels!​
​

Until next time!

​

Thanks again,

Hugs and chocolate kisses! Kadae
