A big part of being healthy is eating good for you foods! Sometimes that is extremely hard especially when the world is throwing all this "quick, easy" simple meals our way. But yet, these meals and foods have a lot of preservatives and processed chemicals and additives God did not intend for us to digest. As easy as these things can be to buy and let ourselves/family eat them, they can often cause bad diseases/behaviors because we are comsuming chemicals.
So, here are a few ideas for some healthy good for you snacks:
potato fries:
preheat oven to 400 degrees
slice a potato per person into thin slices
spray with olive oil and add salt/pepper/garlic powder/all seasoning
bake on a cookie sheet for about 20 minutes per side
I think there is around 100 calories per potato.
smoothie:
water or milk or o.j.
about a cup of fruit
1 banana
protein powder
yogurt
1 TBLS. p. butter
optional: oatmeal, ice cubes
*If you want less calories choose water as your base, milk or orange juice can add nice flavor. And of course..the more liquid you add the thinner the smoothie will be, add less liquid it will be thicker Watch how much you add to a smoothie, calories can add VERY quickly.
Fruit:
This of course is a awesome choice for a snack. It is also very nice to compliment a piece of fruit with some kind of protein(cheese, nuts etc.)
Some of this can get kind of expensive, however, it is better than buying processed stuff! Tomorrow I will try and post some breakfast/dinner recipes!
Have fun and enjoy these yummy snacks!
