A Few Snack Ideas

If I don't eat every 2 hours I get SO panicked. In order to keep up with consistent and intense workouts, I feel it necessary to "refuel" often. My regularly scheduled snacks look a little like this...

Pre-portioned pistachios - say that 5 times fast. These handy little packets are great because they keep me from eating 200 pistachios at once.

 

Larabars! We buy Larabars in bulk when they go on sale at Kroger for $1.00 each (normally $1.50). Last time we stocked up on Larabars Ryan bought 91 (yes, ninety one) at once. They are DELICIOUS, all natural, and grain-free. My favorite flavors are:

Lemon Bar

Peanut Butter and Jelly

Coconut Cream Pie

Carrot Cake

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip

Ginger Snap (tastes like Christmas)

Some of my favorites contain peanuts...whatever. I eat green beans too, which are technically off limits. Again, whatever - personal choice.

I usually allow myself one piece of fruit a day. I love an apple with almond butter. I find it's best to either buy the pre-portioned packets and use half {see above} or measure a tablespoon of almond butter. I get a little carried away otherwise. Seeing a trend here?

Carrots dipped in guacamole...not near as good as with a tortilla chip, *sigh*. But - you do get the crunch factor and this snack provides just enough good fat, in my humble/non-expert opinion. I love Whole Foods spicy guacamole from the produce section.


I will post again when I mix up my snack game. For now, these are working for me!
