If you are anything like me, you find it hard to find time for yourself during the day, and may skip meals or eat way later than you really should because of course the kids come first. Then there are the mothers again like myself, who are striving for healthy snacks because you are looking to lose weight. Whether it is postpartum weight loss, or just wanting to shed a couple extra pounds.
So over the past week or so, I have really started to look for some healthy snacks that not only my toddler would love, but things I would also eat along with him. Not only will your hunger be cured, but you will also show your children that these foods must be good if Mommy is eating them with them!
My Snack list :
- Fresh Fruit
- Fresh Cut Veggies (With some type of dip, hummus, ranch dressing, peanut butter, etc.)
- Cheese
- Muffins (More bran than sugar)
- Yogurt
- Pretzels (Lightly Salted)
- Mini English Muffin Pizza’s
- Homemade apple chips
- Homemade Banana Bread (With real bananas)
- Snack Mix (whole grain cereal, dried fruit, nuts, whole grain crackers or pretzels)
- Wrap Sandwiches
- Homemade taco wraps
Most recipes are available through google, but as you can probably tell, I myself am just starting to take more of a turn to healthy eating.
Please share your recipes!
