Healthy Snacks for Weight Loss

When you start on your weight loss journey, one of the greatest challenges you’ll face is learning how to find Healthy Snacks for Weight Loss. While you can alter your existing diet and remove unhealthy food all you want, you’ll find that if you’re exercising hard and eating smart, you’ll be hungry throughout the day–and that’s when you’re the most likely to reach for unhealthy snacks that are completely against your diet plan. Luckily, healthy snacks for weight loss don’t have to be complicated, nor do they have to require a lot of preparation.

Healthy Snacks for Weight Loss

If you’re looking for a fast, portable solution to healthy snacking, try Shakeology. There are dozens of recipes that you can check out, including the ones highlighted here. The linked article will let you check out more than a hundred different healthy shake recipes, so not only is there sure to be something there that you’ll like, there’s no chance that you’ll ever get bored with Shakeology! Prefer to keep it a little simpler and want to know that you’re getting the healthiest shakes available? Check out these Seven Healthiest Shake Recipes that will act as meal replacements or fill in as a post-workout snack.

The great thing about Shakeology is that it’s already designed with a perfect balance of all your nutrition needs. You don’t have to worry about designing that perfect balance, or about measuring out only the amount of peanut butter you’re allowed to have on top of your apple (when really, you’d rather be munching on a chocolate bar anyway). Instead, you can create a shake that fulfills your sweet tooth while still keeping you on track with your diet.

Prefer something a little bit more solid? Check out these ten healthy snacks for weight loss, or take a look at these homemade sweet potato fries that will knock your socks off and leave you feeling as though you’ve indulged in something naughty while keeping your diet on track. Or, if you’re looking for a healthy snack idea that is a break from the norm–something that doesn’t leave you feeling like you’ve been munching on rabbit food when you really want something sweet and filled with fat, try these options:

Healthy Snacks for Weight Loss

• Spread peanut butter on a banana, dip it in melted dark chocolate, and freeze. This is the perfect healthy snack to help kick that “sweet” craving!
• Make a yogurt “bark” with the fruit of your choice: spread yogurt in a pan and sprinkle with fruit, then freeze. Once it’s frozen, break it into pieces and store in a bag in the freezer until you’re ready to indulge. It creates a wonderful bark much like the chocolate bark you love during the holidays, but for fewer calories.

• Hard boil eggs and bring them to work each day to help ensure that you’re getting enough protein.

• Make sweet hummus by placing chick peas or white beans, a tablespoon of coconut oil, and agave nectar or honey (to taste) in your food processor. Process until the texture is smooth, then add chocolate chips.

Preventing yourself from feeling deprived isn’t just about what you’re snacking on. It’s also about knowing when to snack. Immediately following an intense workout, you’re probably going to be hungry, and if you deny yourself until your next meal, you’re going to feel cranky and out of sorts–not to mention all too likely to break your diet as soon as someone walks through the door with a good suggestion.

Keep your Shakeology powder ready at hand so you can reach for a shake whenever you need one, or make sure that you’re keeping plenty of healthy, filling snacks right there with your gym bag. Know that you’re going to start craving junk food to keep you going when the three o’clock slump hits? Make sure that you snack around two or two thirty so that your body will still be going strong once that time rolls around. Healthy snacking is part of any good diet plan because it keeps you in tune with your body’s needs and demands. Don’t feel guilty about your snacks.

Just plan for them ahead of time so that you’re snacking the right way!

We're Glad We Added Kale to Our Diet

It's a kinda funny looking green vegetable that just happens to be at the top of the seriously-good-for-you-food list.

 Fresh Kale

If you haven't yet added kale to your diet, you might want to add it to your grocery list. It should top your list of healthy ingredients. Here's why:

1. Kale is low in calories, high in fiber, and has zero fat.

2. It supports your body's detoxification process.

3. It supports your cardiovascular system and helps to lower cholesterol, especially if steamed.

4. It contains powerful antioxidants that protect your cells from free radicals that cause cell oxidation.

5. It has anti-inflammatory properties that work with its antioxidants to help prevent and combat some types of cancer.

6. It's rich in Vitamins C, A, K, and iron, which provide a myriad of benefits, such as helping to lower blood pressure, protecting against eye diseases, helping to maintain healthy bones and teeth, and supporting your body's nervous system.

One of our favorite kale recipes is Kale Chips. They are so easy to make and work with just about any meal.

Rinse fresh kale. Rip the leaves only into chip-size pieces. Discard the stems. Toss with just a little extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. Spread in baking pan and bake in preheated 325 degree oven for about 30 minutes. They always disappear fast! I hope you enjoy them!



Be alert for a new hybrid vegetable on your grocers' shelves. Kalettes are a cross between kale and brussels sprouts. They were developed in the U.K., where they are called Flower Sprouts. They merge the sweet and nutty tastes of kale and brussels sprouts and can be eaten raw, steamed, grilled, roasted or sautêed.

I'm going to be sure my family gets a heavy dose of kale each week, and I hope you do too!

Most work sites don't have healthy snacks. Help someone you care about by SHARING this article with them about healthy work place snacks.

Healthy Snacks For Work: FIVE You’re Going to Love!

By Contributor on May 29, 2015

Most of us tend to think that if we eat three balanced meals everyday, our diet is taken care of.  However, it’s easy for unhealthy foods to creep in while you’re snacking.  Let’s say you eat breakfast before you leave home at about eight o’clock.  You’re not going to have lunch until at least one, maybe even two if you get caught up in work.  That’s nearly five or six hours during which your body will need some sustenance.  Most of us just end up taking a trip to the vending machine but how long are you going to feed yourself chips and candy before your body starts to rebel, in terms of digestive problems as well as gaining weight?  Instead, it’s a good idea to pack two healthy snacks per day, one for that mid-morning meal and another for the mid-afternoon.  Here are Five Healthy Snacks For Work that won’t be difficult to carry:

Healthy Snacks For Work: FIVE You’re Going to Love!

1. An Apple and a Tablespoon of Almond Butter.  You can store a jar of almond butter at work and carry an apple with you.  Make sure you also keep a knife at work so that you can slice the apple and spread the almond butter when you feel hungry.  And store the almond butter in a dry area.  An apple contains 116 calories and one tablespoon of almond butter contains 102 calories.  So this is a pretty low-calorie snack containing approximately 200 calories.
2. Whole Wheat Pita Bread and Hummus.  If you’re in the mood for more carbs and less fruits or vegetables, you can go with whole wheat pita bread and hummus.  Whole Living recommends this as one of the best snacks to take to work, as it comes up to about 187 calories per serving.  If you like cooking, you can even make up a batch of hummus and then eat it for 3-4 days.  Store both items in your work refrigerator and enjoy whenever you need a boost.
3. Whole Grain Cereal with Berries.  This is another thing it would be easy to store at work.  Just pick up a box of whole grain cereal, a box of berries and some skim milk on your way to work.  Store the perishables in your work refrigerator and the whole grain cereal in a dry place.  This gives you a lot of fiber and a little bit of sugar for a much needed pick me up.
4. Energy Bar.  This is one you have to really be careful with… This Real Simple article recommends any energy bar that contains over 4 grams of protein.  There are many options out there such as Cliff bars which come in a variety of flavors.  The Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch bar has 250 calories and 10 grams of protein.  The Chocolate Peanut Butter Zone bar has 210 calories and 15 grams of protein.  You can also check out one of my personal favorites, Quest Nutrition Bars the next time you take a trip to the grocery store.  The advantage of these bars is that they’re easy to transport and no cooking is required.  However, you don’t want to overload on too much processed food.  So make sure that at least one of your daily snacks contains fruits or veggies.
5. Meal Replacement Shake.  For an easy snack which requires no preparation, you can try a meal replacement shake such as Shakeology.  Store these at work and grab one mid-morning for a filling, nutritious, tasty snack.  You’ll end up feeling energized all day long.  Or if you opt to drink one in the afternoon instead, it’ll help you shake off that afternoon lethargy.  There are many delicious shake recipes as well, that are easy-to-make.  Surveys show that shakes such as Shakeology make people feel healthier, improve their regularity and increase their energy levels.
