Nutritious Snacks for your Metabolism

Take the guesswork out of your grocery list and use the snacks below to keep you on track with your healthy routine.

Mid-morning

Apples with Cinnamon and Peanut butter dip: Sprinkle cinnamon in 2 Tbsp peanut butter and use as a dip for your sliced apple.

Small smoothie: Blend 1/2 banana, blueberries, flaxseed, almond milk, and ice. (add 1/2 scoop of whey protein for thickness or extra protein if desired.)

Carb free protein drink and 10 almonds: Isopure is my favorite carbohydrate free protein that comes in a variety of different flavors. Enjoy with almonds to include healthy fat and carbohydrates.

Afternoon 

Artichoke and Greek Yogurt Dip with Vegetables: Mix Greek yogurt, chopped hard boiled egg, chopped artichokes, garlic  and pepper. Eat with your favorite vegetables instead of chips.

4-6 oz Green Veggie juice with 1/4 cup walnuts: Look for pre-made versions at your grocery store. One that specifically does not have added sugar.

Hard boiled eggs and carrot sticks:  Boil your eggs early in the week and you can quickly grab and go at any time.

Late night

5 oz glass red wine and small handful cashews: Red wine is great for your heart and even belly in monitored amounts. Keep it at one glass to reap the benefits.

Low fat greek yogurt, sunflower seeds and cinnamon: Put in the freezer for a few minutes before you eat it to make it feel more like ice cream.

Low fat cottage cheese, chopped tomatoes and lemon pepper: Mix them all together and enjoy.
