12 SOLUTIONS when you are hit hard with a snack attack, and standard choices get a little, or a lot, 'too' indulgent.

Super, Smart Snack Ideas:
Enjoy these on-the-go or in the convenience and comfort of your own place.
MAY I SUGGEST YOU...
Stop by a health food store (or even Costco for the big bags of nuts and seeds, dried or frozen fruits, Mary's Gone Crackers or RW Garcia crackers, Lebanese cucumbers, goat feta, fruits) and see what appeals to you and fits the bill of being minimally processed if at all. Stock up to have items in the pantry and freezer.
PLAN AHEAD and making great choices becomes so easy and sustainable.

Enjoy these on-the-go or in the convenience and comfort of your own place.
- Olives and pickles (pack in mini jars or reusable containers for a grab n go)
- Trail mix baggies - your choice: almonds, cashews, walnuts, Brazil Nuts, pumpkin/sunflower seeds, dried dates, cranberries, mulberries, chopped figs, cacao nibs...
- Single serve nut/seed butter - tear open and have with fruits or crackers
- Bars and Power Balls – home-made or from a health food store or go with the baggies suggestion above. 'Deconstructed bars'! So much more affordable.
- Gluten-free Mary’s Crackers or RW Garcia beet or turmeric crackers – as is or with hummus, guacamole, nut or seed butter, salsa, pesto...
- Veggies bags or water filled glass jars w/ radishes, celery, fennel, carrots, peppers cherry tomatoes, baby cucumbers, etc.
- Store-bought kale chips (so good) or make your own. Divine!
- Dates filled with nut butter and a nut like pecans, walnuts or almonds (I love to top them with ground espresso or cacao powder, sea salt and cayenne). The coffee or cacao add a bitter bite to the super sweet dates. It may sound crazy, you gotta try it.
- Fill whole-food wraps from “Live” – a company in Toronto, ON made from only veggies with your favorite dip and julienne veggies. Satay sauce is so GOOD!
- Organic corn tortilla chips topped with well drained salsa, nutritional yeast, minced onions and peppers - broiled just a few minutes and enjoyed asap.
- Apples, watermelon and pineapple chopped up and tossed with cinnamon and cardamom as well as any fruits you love like cherries and grapes (easy to eat).
- An avocado cut and seasoned with sea salt, cumin, cayenne and lemon and enjoyed with crackers or veggie wedges
