Snack Healthy - The Sweet Tooth Edition
Fruit and Almond Butter: Slice up a sweet fruit, like a pear or a honey crisp apple, and top it with a teaspoon of almond butter. This snack usually clocks in at just under 200 calories and has enough natural sugars and proteins to keep you going through the day.
Candy: OK, let’s be honest, sometimes you just want candy or some ice cream, and nothing else is going to satisfy that sweet tooth. When that happens don’t get too discouraged - you can still keep things low-calorie. Lots of companies have begun releasing 150-calorie (or less) packs. The frozen section of your local grocery will almost certainly have low-calorie frozen treats that are individually wrapped. The trick to this is making sure that you read the labels and stick to the correct serving size!
Remember - small changes here and there are what make a real difference in your life over time. Replacing a chocolate bar, Twinkie, cupcake, etc. with one of these healthier tasty options can be an easy step towards a healthier you!
