On-The-Move Healthy Snacks!

Who else feels constantly busy and pressed for time? I find myself on the go more often than not-always running here and there. And then it always hits me...hunger. 
We don't have time to whip up a healthy meal or snack when we are living our demanding lifestyles..and if we haven't taken the time to meal prep or pack healthy options we can be stuck grabbing whatever is easiest...which is usually food that is not the best for us and leaves us crashing from a sugar high. 

Here are three of our favorite take on-the-go snacks that can help to satisfy your hunger and help to maintain your energy levels throughout the day.

Apples and Peanut Butter

This has been my go-to pregnant snack of choice lately. Just wash, core, and slice your apple and spread on some yummy all-natural peanut butter. If I am home, I warm my peanut butter up on the stove or microwave, and drizzle over my apple slices. Looking for something sweeter? Add some mini chocolate chips and you are in healthy snack heaven. 

Greek Yogurt 
Greek yogurt is  super easy to take with you on-the-go, and tastes delicious. Our favorite brand is Fage Greek Yogurt. We like to buy the plain and add in fresh berries and oats to fill up our tummies for a long day ahead.  Make sure when buying Greek Yogurt you check the nutrition label..many brands or flavored varieties are loaded with un-necessary sugar.  


Smoothies
Smoothies are our absolute favorite way to get nutrition on the move. We prepare our smoothies ahead of time by freezing pre-portioned ingredients. Then, in the morning, we can just blend them and go!  We love adding vegan protein powder to our smoothies to fuel our bodies for active days.  Our biggest smoothie tip? Don't overload with too many fruits. We like to keep to a simple ratio of 1 part liquid, 1 part greens, and 1 part fruit.  


Enjoy!
