Yummy healthy snacks?

Question

im trying to lose that baby weight after giving birth to my little one but with my busy schedule i only find time to eat quick food during the day and it isnt the healthiest...

Answer 1

I used to always bring a bowl of fruit to work with me to snack on in the morning. Cantaloupe, grapes and watermelon are all so good together. Also some nice whole wheat crackers with cheese would be good.

Answer 2

pineapples and light cottage cheese

frozen blueberries

a juicy Granny green apple

little oranges in the cup

V8 splash strawberry

precut celery, carrots w/light dip or natural peanut butter

fresh strawberrys, w/light cool whip

angel food cake

kiwi

yougart

Danactive (vanilla)

almonds/ trailmix

smoothies w/bananas and soy mix

Answer 3

SNACK GRANOLA  

5 cups quick cooking oatmeal

1/2 cup wheat germ

1 cup non-fat dry milk

1 cup sesame seeds

1 1/2-2 cups dried fruit, chopped

1 cup organic flaked coconut

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

3/4 cup slivered almonds

1 cup vegetable or peanut oil

1 cup honey

For dried fruit, we like a combination of dry apricots, sliced dehydrated bananas, Craisins, raisins, chopped dates, etc. Use what you like best.

Combine all ingredients in a very large bowl and mix well. Warm the oil slightly and mix with the honey. Stir over the granola all at once and mix well using a large wooden spoon.

Spread on oiled cookie sheets or roasting pans and bake (in about 3 batches) at 300F for 20 minutes, turning over in pan halfway through the cooking time. Bake until granola is a nice toasty brown.

Allow to cool thoroughly before storing in airtight containers.

Note: We sometimes add a teaspoon of pure almond extract or ground cinnamon to the oil/honey as a variation. Half of the oil may be substituted with non-hydrogenated virgin coconut oil (found in health food stores and some supermarkets).

TORTILLA SNACK  

cheese

jamon

paprika

flour tortillas

Prepare two warm Flour Tortillas Then you spread some grated cheese over one of the tortillas then you take some sliced jamon over the cheese and flavor it up with some sliced paprika.

Tip: Use some Barbecue Powder to spiff it up a bit.
