    5 Quick and Healthy Snacks I Swear By​

    Eating healthy is something that I’m paying more attention to these days. In fact, my number one priority used to be lifting weights and then cardio. Now, it’s my sleep, diet, cardio and then lifting weights. I’ve often heard eating and sleep are 90% of of the game. Many people prioritize the gym, but don’t eat healthy. I’m not a nutritionist, but here are 5 quick and health snacks I am loving right now:

    1. Protein Bars - I’ve made protein bars a regular part of my diet. I usually look for the organic ones high in protein and lower in carbs. Here is a favorite.
    2. Protein Shakes - Protein shakes are a daily necessity for me. I don’t use them as a meal replacement, but to fuel energy and as another source of protein. Here is my go - to organic protein powder.
    3. Celery and Almond Butter - Can’t beat some healthy vegetables with almond butter or peanut butter spread. I avoid anything with high sugar though. It’s always nice to include some cheese too.
    4. Apple and Nuts - While there is natural sugar in an Apple or fruit, I love having a fruit choice such as an apple which can be a quick grab along with a handful of nuts.
    5. Sprouted bread with almond butter - I’ve taken most bread out of my diet, but I will have a slice of sprouted bread with almond butter spread if I need a little extra during the day. Most of the time, I’ll have this option with three fried eggs in the morning.

    There you go, my quick and health snacks right now. They aren’t too creative, but much better than going for chips or unhealthy carbs. I’ve noticed as I’ve shifted my diet to wiser food choices, my energy levels have improved too.
