Do you ever feel like your whole day revolves around food? Unhealthy
or healthy, that you are always thinking about your next me? I am so guilty for
this. I am eating breakfast while planning dinner, each my lunch while planning
my afternoon banana bread snack with a side of vegetables or even worse excited
to go to bed because that means I get to wake up and have a protein shake after
my workout. It is crazy, but if I am thinking about healthy foods that is
better than dreaming about an ice cream sunday, right?
I am know for sticking with the same few snacks: quest bars, cottage
cheese with fruit, greek yogurt with fruit, rice cake and nut butter and a few
more. But recently I have been trying to explore my options… For example, my
kick butt banana bread recipe with vegetables. BOOM. My current favorite snack
that provides fat and protein {banana bread} and carbs {bananas and veggies}.
Makes me feel like I really have my life together.
I sat down and wrote down as many healthy snacks that I could think
of. These are all GF or able to be.

snacks that you can pack in a lunch box.
Side notes-
Nuts I enjoy eating: almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios.
I try to have every snack include a protein, carb and fat – because that
would be a balanced meal that keeps me full longer
I typically have 3 meals a day and two large snacks – eating around
1500-1900 calories daily.
Daily I have a kombucha with my afternoon snack, for information on
