Real food snacks

Real food snacks

With school back in session and returning to workspaces, you’re spending less time at home and may feel the healthy habits you were able to build slipping away. We feel you. It's tricky to be prepared to eat clean with busy schedules you have to manage and keep up with. Luckily, there are tons of healthy packaged snack options these days! But, before you switch over to all packaged foods for yourself and your fam, remember that lots of whole foods are perfect for on the go! Packaged, convenience snacks are still a step away from a whole food so its best if you can incorporate both. 

We’ve made a list of snacks for you to consider for lunch between meetings, after school snacks or during or after your hobby or sport. 

Whole food based snacks

• Sliced apple sprinkled with cinnamon and ground flax seeds

• Carrots with nut butter 

• Snap peas and hummus

• Cucumber slices with everything but the bagel seasoning 

• Nuts and dates

• Celery and dried apricots

• Bell peppers and hummus

• Cherry tomatoes and cheese

• Avocado dipped in nutritional yeast

Now, my next tip with these snacks is to interchange them! I buy most of these ingredients and then mix it up! For example, we often munch on carrots and cheese or avocados with everything but the bagel seasoning or celery and ground flax seeds. Once you have a few of these snack bases you can mix and match! To get your kids involved, put the foods out and let them fill up small containers with the duos they think go well together.
