Healthy Snacks on the Go!
It’s the weekend! Weekend’s call for being out and about, enjoying time with friends and family, running around, shopping, going to practices and a whole lot more. Weekends can also be tough on the waistline though, so you have to be prepared! That’s why I’ve prepared this list of healthy snacks on the go!
Remember you should eat about every ~3 hours to keep your blood sugar steady, and this will also help you from overeating at meal time! Aim for 3 meals and 2-3 healthy snacks per day.
We all struggle with being stuck out later than expected and then leaving our bodies starving! This often causes us to make rash and hastened decisions and grab that Big Mac or overeat when we do get a chance. There is a way to stay on track and eat healthy while out and about it just takes some planning and packing!
Here are some great healthy snacks, a lot of which are great to take on the go! I always carry nuts (almonds, peanuts, or pistachios), an apple or banana, and shakeology packets and a shaker cup with me in case hunger strikes! This way I am not tempted to go for an unhealthy processed snack.
Enjoy!
