Healthy Snacks

Most of you know that I have been obsessed with bootcamp for about a year now. Our trainer Brian sends out motivational emails daily and a lot of times includes nutrition information, recipes, healthy ideas, etc... I thought I would share a list of his favorite healthy snacks/small meals here. I personally am now addicted to the Breadless PB&J. I think the kids would really like it too! So good and has a ton of protein! Enjoy!

• Breadless PB&J: 6 oz Strawberry Chobani Yogurt (leave the fruit on the bottom and just take the yogurt on top --mixed w/1 Tbsp organic peanut butter)


• 6 oz Yogurt w/1/4 srvg raw nuts and unsweetened coconut


• 4 oz Vanilla Fat free Yogurt and 4 oz cottage cheese blended with 1 srvg. frozen mango. Top with chopped walnuts


• 1/2 can tuna fish with 1/2 cup kidney beans and balsamic vinaigrette


• 1/2 avocado with 1/2 small can of salmon mixed with dijon mustard


• Marinade broccoli, yellow/red pepper and portabello mushrooms in your favorite balsamic vinaigrette. Saute or grill and add to a whole wheat tortilla with roasted red pepper hummus, avocado and salsa.


• Saute 3 cups spinach, chopped red bell pepper and mushrooms in garlic and olive oil. Melt a piece of string cheese or part-skim mozzarella on top.


• Microwave a sweet potato, top with cottage cheese & salsa


• Salad with a tons of veggies and protein of your choice (usually black beans, canned salmon or rotisserie chicken for me).


• Naked Burrito: black beans as a base, grilled marinated veggies, chicken or pork, guacamole and salsa


• Mix together raw almonds, raw pecans, raw walnuts with dried cranberries or dried cherries, and raisins. Add a small amount of mini dark chocolate pieces for a little sweetness.
