Want a healthy snack? Here are 5 munchies you can try!

Hey Everyone, were half way through the week.. YAY! The weekend is almost here. Today is the first day of Spring, and I know most of us can't wait for our spring break vacations or summer. I am excited for summer & ready to get rid of this snow. This weather is getting really depressing, no one wants to go out and there's not much fun you can really do when it's cold crappy weather. 

ANYWAYS, I know most of you who are going on vacation or want to have a fun summer, want to also look good for that. I for one don't normally work out, I am very lucky to have a fast metabolism and I don't gain weight very easily. I do though need to eat right and eat healthier. I would like to workout to tone my body and have some definition. (It sucks being a little twig sometimes) I know so many people say "I'm so jealous of how skinny you are." "OMG you're soooo skinny." I hear this ALL THE TIME. YES being skinny is great, BUT I am not going to be like this forever, so I mine as well start eating/trying new things, and finding some tricks that will work for me. Maybe some of these healthy and fun munchies will help you too.

Here are some creative and delicious looking snacks I found...

1) 7 Layer Dip- This recipe has tons of dairy and is a lighter recipe compared to most. This is lighter on your digestion.

2/3 cup black beans
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese Sliced black olives and scallions to garnish

2) Frozen sliced bananas and peanut butter- SO simple, healthy, and tasty. These are only 160 calories per serving and offers 4.1 grams of fiber & 3.7 grams of protein

3) Strawberry & Banana smoothie- An idea of something to replace your morning coffee, something different to jump start your day! Using a blender, combine the following ingredients...

4) Turkey Tortilla Wrap- A super snack & can be made in less than 5 minutes!
 Fill half of a whole-wheat tortilla with two slices of lean, deli-style turkey meat, sliced tomato and a small wedge of avocado.

5) Chocolate Covered Peanuts- These can satisfy your sweet tooth & you can grab this quick if your on the go. These do have chocolate, so they do have some fat, but they are also full of protein & other vitamins. Don't forget you want to eat healthy, but also treat yourself!
