Reduced Guilt Munchies!

Kind Bars! These can be found at almost any grocery store and/or health food store! Starbucks even carries them now! These are great to throw in your purse just in case you are stuck in the office or your lunch plans fall through. In an astounding variety of flavors, Kind bars are both delicious and nutritious. There is really a bar for everyone! These bars are Gluten Free, Non-GMO, high in Protein and Fiber, and low in Sugar! I always keep one or two in my purse or in my car, because you never know when a chocolate craving is going to hit you! My personal favorites are the Cranberry Almond and the Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate. I would definitely recommend this one!

This next one I have found to be very controversial. I am talking about the Happy Yogis Organic Yogurt Snacks. Yes, these are primarily intended for babies and toddlers, but hey, release your inner child and give it a shot! These are small round yogurt snacks that melt in your mouth. I really enjoy these, while others I've had try them find them to be very chalky. Anyway, these are a great source of Pre & Pro-biotics and, DHA, Magnesium, and Vitamin D. I like to keep these in my car in case I get a sweet tooth ;) (I find mine at Whole Foods)

Trader Joe's Organic Mini Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers! Whew! That's a mouthful, literally! But these are some of my absolute favorites! If you are a peanut butter lover like me, this is right up your alley! These are so tasty and a great alternative to regular store bought peanut butter crackers! These bite sized bits include no hydrogenated oils! Trust me, you'll love 'em!

Next, I have Chobani Greek Yogurt! Chobani is great because you can pretty much find it anywhere, plus, it has all natural ingredients. For a quick fix, pick up one of their many delicious flavored Greek Yogurts. Otherwise, I like to scoop my greek yogurt into a pretty glass cup and top it with fresh, organic fruit for a luxurious and healthy parfait. And if I'm feeling a little naughty, I will throw in some mini dark chocolate chips! You can also top it with some honey or agave syrup for a sweeter indulgence! This is a delicious snack or even breakfast! 

I know, you guys are probably thinking, "a banana!?". Yes, a banana! This is an amazing and yummy source of Potassium and Fiber! Simply, grab one as you are running out of the house or get a bunch to leave at your office desk for when you start to hear your tummy grumble! Also, many of you may not know, but eating bananas regularly can help with menstrual pains and muscle cramps! I love to have a banana right before I workout for a boost of energy during my exercise! 

Last but not least, Edamame (Soy) Beans. These are great at any time of the day! This is such a versatile food. You can throw them in your salad, eat them plain, or garnish your dish with them! However, you consume them, they are an excellent source of protein! I like to eat mine heated up with a pinch of Organic Sea Salt on them. Or, try them cold with some mozzarella balls, black beans, lime dressing, and cilantro! It makes for a filling, yet healthy lunch!

Well, that's it ladies and gentlemen! I hope you learned a few new things and decide to try them out! Leave me a comment below letting me know if you enjoyed these healthy munchies and would like to see more health posts! 

Stay Healthy!
