Boom Chicka Pop Holiday Flavors

The best way to get my sweet holiday fix in! You get all the sweet holiday flavors with a side of fiber to help with fullness. The peppermint is my fav, but really I love all 3!

Snacks:

My snacks tend to be pretty simple. A fruit or veggie with a source of protein like cheese or a hard boiled egg. But there are definitely some snacks foods that I STAN! Here are a few:

IWON Organic Protein Puff Snack Stix

If you’re anything like me, getting in protein throughout your day is TASK! Love having snackable solutions. At 10 grams of protein per serving, these are the perfect high protein snack. I go for the honey mustard flavor!

good culture: real food, simple ingredients

Good Culture Cottage Cheese

Probiotics are so important for gut health! And gut health affects almost every part of your body. If you’re a cottage cheese eater, I highly recommend checking your grocery store for this high protein snack!

Creamy Peanut | Earth Balance

Earth Balance – Peanut Butter with Flaxseed

One nutrient that deserves a lot of focus is omega-3’s. These are anti-inflammatory and protect heart health. But they can be hard to get enough of. Adding flaxseeds (high in omega-3’s) with yummy peanut butter is a perfect solution!

Meal Time:

Taylor Farms Salad Kits

It is rare that a week goes by without me having at least one salad kit from Taylor Farms. Such an easy way to make a delicious and healthy lunch. Right now, I’m loving the everything salad and the dill pickle!

Dressings - Bolthouse Farms

Bolthouse Farms Salad Dressings

Speaking of salad, if you love your salad dressing and have a hard time staying to the recommended serving size… you have to check out Bolthouse Farm’s dressings. They use greek yogurt to create a lower calorie, but still delicious product. The honey mustard is my fav!
