Since cleaning up the quality of my food choices I had to say goodbye to a lot of the โfunner food choicesโ Iโd see other influencers share.
Things like light nโ fit yogurt, sugar free pudding, skinny syrups etc, while they all taste great, werenโt doing any favors to my health. But itโs forced me to get creative and come up with improved macro friendly choices that will also fix my sweet tooth.
Enter cookie dough yogurt.
1 vanilla two good yogurt
ยผ tsp organic pure vanilla extract
10 grams of sunflower butter
10 grams of vanilla casein protein (I use a stevia sweetened brand with all approved ingredients)
ยฝ tbs. Trader Joeโs unsweetened cacao chips
Mix all of your ingredients together & enjoy!

No artificial sweeteners, no chemicals or artificial colors, no inflammatory oils. Instead itโs packed with hormone friendly healthy fats, and protein to keep you full and satisfied and your blood sugar stable. ๐ญ
I love using it as a dip for apple slices or strawberries.
Enjoy! ๐
Back to School Season is HERE and I know the aisles are full of all the best snacks, treats, and even Halloween candy already (๐ธ๐ข๐บ ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฐ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฏ). โฃ

One of the biggest downfalls I see amongst my clients is not their actual meals, but rather the snack choices theyโre making throughout the day. โฃ
โฃ
That being said, I wanted to come up with a list of some healthy back to school, work or even work from home snacks to look out for. โฃ

Try your best to be sure youโre balancing your snacks with a carbohydrate source, protein, and/or healthy fat. Carb heavy snacks alone will simply spike up your blood sugar and leave you reaching for more sugar shortly after. โฃ
โฃ
Also, if youโre someone who struggles with portion control or find yourself munching from the bag, try to pre-portion out your servings as soon as you bring the box home so youโre less likely to overdo it. โฃ
โฃ
Take a pick from the protein list, healthy fat list, and carbohydrate list and you have yourself a healthy balanced snack. โฃ

Here are some Mix & Match Examples: โฃ
Also, I know it can be tricky to know what to look for on ingredient labels. My general rule of thumb is the fewer the ingredients, and the more recognizable the better. โฃ
โฃ
Ideally try to steer clear of options with added sugars, inflammatory oils (๐ด๐ฐ๐บ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ, ๐ค๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฏ, ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ข, ๐ด๐ถ๐ฏ๐ง๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ณ, ๐ด๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ณ, & ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ๐ถ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ช๐ญ๐ด), and processed soy. โฃ

Whatโs your go-to snack?! โฃ
