Go-To Snacks
During my day to day it can get very busy and sometimes making sure I get healthy food in can be difficult. These are some of my go-to snacks to get a quick protein fix in between clients. They're quick to eat, simple, healthy and delicious.
1. Protein Pancakes
My favorite! Another thing I make a lot of on Sunday's, I love adding in blueberries and smothering them with peanut butter. I use this recipe a lot but recently we starting buying Kodiak cakes from Costco and they're SO simple and easy.
2. Smoothies
For those long stretches before I can get a full meal in this is the perfect replacement, tasty and healthy. You can add anything you want in it, get some extra veggies in.
3. Protein Balls
Not only are these easy to make but if I'm craving something sweet they totally satisfy that craving.
4. Egg Muffins
I make a bunch of these every Sunday so we can have some tasty morning snacks at the beginning of the week.
Movie Night Snacks
It's that time of the year, it's getting colder and all I want to do is hibernate under a big cozy blanket with the pup and watch a flick. Now historically movie night for my family has always meant the 3 P's: Pizza, Popcorn and Pop! As I've gotten older and I've become more health minded and fitness has become my world I've kept the concept of movie night but switched the snacks. Now, popcorn is absolutely 100% my go-to snack of choice, I am so happy there are healthy versions because honestly, I couldn't live without my popcorn. Skinny pop has fast become a favourite in my household, sometimes I like to add a bit of chili powder to give it an extra POP.
Since clearly the crunch is what I'm after for a healthy movie night snack I often go for crunchy veg like raw peppers, carrots, and I've been known to smuggle in pea pods to the movies before. I make a mean homemade guacamole which is a great source of healthy fats, along with hummus for a bit of protein. Also for me the best way to cure that sweets craving is with fruit, pineapple in particular are my jam. I can't get enough of that prickly fruit!
