Healthy Snacks

Well, I like to use Mila or just chia seeds (although I prefer Mila. Like the taste). If you're really hungry or wanting actual food, though, it won't cut it. So in that case, adding two scoops to a milkshake or other type of filling drink is really amazing! It is satisfying and definitely helps keep the cravings down as well as extremely healthy.

My mom likes those Special K cereal bars. I've had them and think they taste pretty good, but aren't filling at all and I don't know that the ingredients are necessarily super healthy. But she does like them.

I love any kind of fruit -- add peanut butter or a little chocolate and it's delicious! I also like cacao nibs, but only sometimes. They aren't super filling, but make a nice treat when I want some chocolate. However, sometimes I just want some chocolate. Lol.

One of my favorite snacks, fruit-wise is raisins. They're sweet, somewhat filling, and healthy.

These organic bagel things too. They're called Nature's something. I don't remember, but they have raisins in them. It's the raisin cinnamon kind, but it's not as sweet and cinnamony as the regular store-bought raisin bread. They're pretty good though and don't taste like plain, boring bagels. I like to add a very small amount of Nutella to one side of the bagel and just eat it. It works pretty nicely and is healthy.

Also, vegetable trays with a ranch or other type of dip in the middle. They are good because they're healthy and you can just snack away! I like adding baby carrots, celery, cucumbers, etc.

Oh, how could I forget -- cucumber sandwich slices with cucumber slices (of course) and a delicious garlic spread made from roasted garlic cloves. It's pretty quick and easy and tastes amazing, especially at the pool! It's one of my favorite by-the-pool snacks. I like to add a little mayo to mine.

And another favorite: nuts! I love cashews and almonds so much. I also like peanuts. You could easily grow some peanuts yourself if you have the time. It takes a while to get a bunch. Not that I've ever grown them, but have wanted to. I love nuts though, as an any time throughout the day and night snack. My SO likes pistachios, but they are so expensive & I burned out on them years ago, so they're the only ones I don't eat much of. Otherwise, I can just eat a handful of cashews, almonds, pecans or peanuts (or any other nut) throughout the day and night and find that to be a healthy way of snacking, and not having super-duper cravings all night too.

Back to the chia seeds or Mila. I have one scoop of Mila when I wake up -- I like them just by theirselves even. Then one scoop later in a salad (which is another healthy snack, especially healthy since Mila is a superfood) or by itself or in a drink. I really like them.
I try to do two scoops a day, which I do just fine unless I forget. It helps some people to manage their eating a little too. Before I got Mila though, I'd just get a handful of chia seeds and eat them. They weren't as satisfying to me, though.
