Healthy Snack of the Day!

Here is one of my favorites when I am having a chip craving. There are a couple of options, depending on how healthy you want to be.
If you want a real chip taste you can bake a whole wheat tortilla at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Then cut into wedges. If you are being super healthy, I like to buy the carrots that are sliced to look almost like a ruffle chip to dip in guacamole. I make my guacamole with just avocado and salsa. The salsa gives it all the flavor it needs and is much healthier than buying the store made kind or using the packets which are loaded with sodium.
Tortilla and 2 tbs. Guacamole: app. 200 cal. depending on what kind of tortilla you buy. Mine are 120 calories.
Carrots and 2 tbs. Guacamole: app. 100 calories!

Snack of the Day!

I am trying to improve my eating habits, not that they are so bad, but I am definitely a junk food-aholic and tend to not eat all the fruits and veggies I should. In doing so, I have been looking for healthy and delicious snacks. I thought I would add a new post on my blog with healthy snacks for anyone else who needs some good snack ideas. Please feel free to leave some of your own!
Here is one of my new favorite snacks: apples and almond butter
One apple and one tablespoon of almond butter about 200 calories
Almond butter is a little less sweet than regular peanut butter but so healthy and really filling. The good fats keep you fuller than just the apple alone!
