http://youtu.be/lsaiQrBnT78

We all know that we have to eat healthier. Being prepared is the key to it. Every time I went off eating healthily it was due to not planning. Planning is the key for everything in life.
I think it is so important that kids are brought up on healthy snacks, as charity begins at home so do healthy eating habits!

I’ve decided for today’s blog post to come up with 31 ideas of healthy snacks – to cover a month

1. Fruit salads topped with plain. sugar free yogurt or I love plain cottage cheese.
2. Fresh fruit juices – homemade preferably – if you buy, read the labels for added sugar and other nasties.
3. Homemade frozen juice bars.
4. Dry fruits like raisins or apricots.
5. Dates make great snacks.
6. Nuts such as walnuts, pecan and unsalted peanuts – many more. I personally love peanuts which I buy “raw” and roast them at home.
7. Mixed nuts, dry fruit with unsalted and sugar free organic cereal
8. Pumpkin seeds.
9. Sesame Seeds.
10. Sunflower seeds – I roast my seeds and I mix the three seeds
11. Hard boiled eggs
12. Yogurt plain with fresh fruit
13. Smoothies made with yogurt and fruit.
14. Milk smoothies and fruit. You can use cows, sheep, goat or even almond or rice milks.
15. Unbuttered popcorn
16. Whole-wheat sandwiches made with peanut butter
17. Whole-wheat sandwiches made with tuna canned in brine (I try not to mix my carbs with fat)
18. Whole-wheat sandwiches made with lean cuts of meat (not processed)
19. Muffins such as this one I found browsing http://www.ringfingertanline.com/2013/04/22/grab-go-breakfast-muffins/
20. Whole-wheat muffins.
21. Sliced tomato topped with mozzarella cheese
22. Sliced tomato topped with feta cheese
23. I love prawns with mayonnaise as a snack as I don’t count calories or fat and I love my own mayonnaise as I make it with olive oil.
24. ½ an avocado with prawns/shrimps (I use mayonnaise or olive oil)
25. Use Hummus as dip for fresh vegetables
26. Use Tahini as a dip for fresh vegetables
27. Use Guacamole as a dip for fresh vegetables
28. Soups are a great snack. If you google soups you will have 100s of easy soups to make at home.
29. A salad with seeds or nuts sprinkled on.
30. A salad with chicken breast.
31. A salad with boiled eggs.
