Snack Recipes!

Small frequent meals are ideal for maximizing the metabolism. By eating small portions more often your body is more apt to burn the calories more efficiently. Overwhelming your digestive system with large meals after not eating for long period can cause your body to store more energy for the next round - in your fat cells!

Greek yogurt snacks:

Mix the plain Greek yogurt with your choice of seasoning. You can mix your own blend or buy the packets of seasonings found in the salad dressing section of the supermarket. Use this savory dip with celery, cucumbers, broccoli etc for a tasty and healthy snack. Greek yogurt is high in protein so it's more filling than regular yogurt. Eat a sensible portion by reading the label and following the serving suggestions.

Layer Plain Greek over frozen berries or other fruits. Then when you are ready to eat it add one or two packets of sweetener (I like the stevia sweeteners because they are natural). This is great to make in advance for on the go! Just throw a freeze block in your lunch box and run!

Make a yummy fruit dip with the plain Greek yogurt and sugar free instant jello powder. Blend, add a tablespoon of the almond milk if it gets too thick! Yum.

Cheese anyone?:

Cream cheese. Mix it like you do the yogurt with spices sweet or savory for an excellent spread. Fill celery sticks with it and take it on the road too!

Slices of cheese with mustard is yum. I like to dip! Or string cheese.

Sweet tooth!!!:

I always keep an atkins bar in my purse or lunch box. There are so many types. Some of them are awesome. They even make an atkins peanutbutter cup! Mmmmm.

Take an EAS shake and blend it with one tbs peanut butter and some ice. Whatever flavor you use this is a "milkshake" that will definitely curb sweet cravings and satisfy hunger :)

Out with no snack and I'm starving!!!:

Quick buys are there for you. Beef jerky or peanuts are at every convenience store. Don't get those chips!

I'll add more to this snack list for sure!
