MY 3 GO TO SNACKS

Processed with VSCO with q5 preset

OKAY.  So heres the thing. I love my snacks, I gotta have my snacks.  I can’t go in between meals and not have something else to look forward to eat, or munch on.   The thing with me is I like EASY & EFFICIENT.  You may not know this, but I feel super lazy when it comes to making things for myself.  I mean, lets get real… who has the time to be making food all day? NOT ME.  The reason I say this is because you can ALSO eat super healthy without having to be preparing 24/7.  I like to make mine ahead of time, plus have a protein bar every now and then.  Here are my 3 GO TO’s that I reach for.

1. RXBARS.  NO BS BARS- I love these bars because I know whats in them & know that I’m not getting anything added, like extra sugars.  You always want to read labels and make sure that the ingredients are readable.  If it starts to get to long, and you don’t know whats what.  My guess is, it’s probably not the most nutritious choice in the world.  Another thing you could do is look up the ingredient, if you really want to get into it.  But with that said, It’s not like I deprive myself from things either.  I’ll have another protein bar, like ONE bars, or FIT JOY bars.  They aren’t that bad every once in a while.  But just keep in mind of the extra sugars. 

DARK CHOCOLATE CHUNKS– To add to my number one, I also like to eat just plain dark chocolate chunks.  SO good, and it helps me feel satisfied when I’m wanting something sweet.  I’ll have a tbsp usually.   It has 7 fats, 4 protein, and 14 carbs.

2. EGG WHITE CAKES– I did a post on these a while back, but I want to bring it to your attention again.  If you have a hard time hitting protein, you gotta make these!  I pre-make them every week, and put them in the fridge and just heat it up when I’m ready to eat one.  I’ll pair it with avocado and some cholula sauce!  Go check it out.

3. PROTEIN TRUFFLES– I also did a post on these as well, but they need your attention again, because they’re bomb! If you missed the post, there you go.  These are also high in protein.  Think a homemade protein bar, but 10x better and more fresh.  They’re so delicious.  I pre-make these as well for a whole week, and they’re easy to grab and go.  If you just set aside an hour to prep your food for the week, you are set for the entire week.  All you have to do is grab and go!  So worth it. SO go check out those recipes!

Hope you enjoy!  Let me know how you like them.  Have a great weekend.

You guys are going to love these if you LOVE chocolate, but also want to stay on track.   These have saved me from eating bad at night!  Give them a try.  It is the perfect snack to “indulge” in.

Makes 11

4 Tbsp Coconut Flour

2 Scoops Johns Killer Cacao Protein

1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder

1 Tbsp Coconut Shreds

3-5 Drops Coconut Stevia

6 Tbsp Vanilla Almond Milk

15 Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers

1. Mix all ingredients together, besides the dark chocolate

2. Once mixed, take a spoon to grab a little mixture at a time, and roll in a ball with both hands.  Each ball should be about 1/2 inch.  This makes 11, but it depends on how big you want yours. Once done, set aside.

3.  Take all 15 chocolate wafers and melt in a bowl in the microwave for about 1-1/2 minutes.

4. Once melted side aside.  

5. (optional) Grab another bowl and pour about 1-1/2 tbsp coconut shreds for the topping.

6.  take each ball and roll in the chocolate, then to the coconut shreds.

7. Once done, put all protein truffles in the fridge and let cool for about 5 minutes before enjoying!

SOO good you guys!

I like to make double the batch as a meal prep and just have them on hand!  It really is so nice to have and you get your protein in for the day!
