Favorite (and Healthy) Snacks!

Hey guys! I just wanted to share some of my favourite healthy snacks that I enjoy to keep me going.

Some of them seem obvious but when you are sitting there watching TV thinking, "I'm hungry...burger...I want chips." you just don't think about how delicious pineapple is. CUZ IT IS!!! Check back here and remember all these goodies and how tasty they are! And maybe even create a list for yourself to keep on the fridge or pinned in the cupboard at home. Every little thing helps!


First, there is fruit. My favorite easy snack fruits are:

tangerines
purple grapes
gala apples
pineapple
watermelon

I always try to keep fresh fruit on hand. If you don't have it in the house you WILL turn to that box of KD in the cupboard.

OK LETS BE HONEST FRUIT IS KINDA boring.

Let's move onto something more exciting...

Healthy Choice Fudge bars


These are surprisingly delicious and they are BIG. Only 2 Weight Watchers points each. FANTASTIC. So far I have only been able to find them at Costco.

If you are anything like me then you need...boundaries? I do well with snacks pre-packaged in appropriate serving sizes. Some of my favorites are:

Weight Watchers Popped Barbecue crisps. These are nommy and I like to eat them with a little Phili Light cream cheese. Doesn't even taste like you are eating a "health food". And isn't that really the ultimate goal here? AM I RIGHT.
Let's see what else, oh I also love Smartfood mini packs and Cheetos.


These kind of things are also great to stick in your bag when you are heading to school or the library to study. You'll be saved from buying that expensive treat at the Caf.

Weirdly, I quite enjoy diet sodas for treats! I never drank soda before in my house but I ate out so much I find myself missing it nowadays. I found myself looking for more exciting additions to the food I can eat and these sodas just spice it up a little. Zero points for diet sodas!

Diet sodas are also great to use for drink mix ;0 If you're having a fun girly night and y'all decide to indulge, instead of your regular chocolate treat try reaching for dark chocolate. It's no less fattening but it has much better health benefits. Avoid granola bars! They are just like eating chocolate bars, so bad for you!

Another delicious snack I like to make are SMOOTHIES! Fruit smoothies to be specific. My mom used to make these for me as a treat, and now I do the same for myself! I use frozen fruit (usually raspberries), skim milk, splenda and a tsp of vanilla extract. Mix it up until its relatively smooth and then yum yum delish. I like to eat it with a spoon!!

Some ideas I am looking to try are: apples and peanut butter, using fat free vanilla yogurt as a dip and possibly even mixing up veggies in my smoothies (as long as I can't taste them!).

What are some of your favorite healthy snack foods??? Share with me!!

Sometimes

Sometimes... you just really feel like getting prettied up, even if you are wearing glasses.

You want to go out and you want to dance.

Sometimes... you will go to a party where you know no one at all. You're nervous and you think OMG I know no one.

But then instead of complaining you put on a smile and try to enjoy yourself.

Then, you realize you really are enjoying yourself.

Sometimes... you decide to go to iRock dance bar even though you feel waaay too old.

And just when you think there's no cute available guys left out there in the world, a really  handsome, non-douchbag starts talking to you. (Glasses...they work.)

Sometimes... you find your friends in the most unexpected places, and it makes you SUPER EXCITED!

And sometimes... just when you think the worst has happened, you get over it.

Sometimes...your friend tells the bouncer he's a mother fucker and it's really, really funny.

And finally...

Sometimes... if you wiggle your toes in the morning while sleeping on the pull out the cat will attack your feet.

This or That v.1


Tag: This or That?


Coke or Pepsi? I do not like either! Seriously I detest them. But since I started drinking diet soda, Coke is the most popular at restaurants so I would prefer I guess diet Coke.

Ice cream or frozen yogurt? I do love ice cream but I would have to say frozen yogurt because it is healthier and just as tasty!

Clothes or makeup? Ummm...toss up! This is a hard one. I really like to wear clothing I feel confident and comfortable in, but make up can really make or break a look in my opinion. When I see a girl and she has cute rosy cheeks and long dark eyelashes I'm like, she takes care of herself.

Hairspray or frizz lotion? I honestly am not a big hairspray user but I never use frizz lotion, so hairspray wins. I think a good oil heat hair protector is a must have. I rub it into the ends of my damp hair. It makes my hair much smoother and less tangly. The one I am currently using was a gift and i love it! Redken Smooth Down Heat Glide protective smoother for very dry/unruly hair.

T.V or book? I do love a good book and I love to read but I must say I love love love watching a good television show. I prefer having the entire season or series and watching them all in a row.

Pool or beach? Pool. The beach is beautiful but water animals kinda freak me out! And so does dark water. WHAT'S DOWN THERE?!

Water or soda? Erm..water! or even better, Iced Tea!

Sandals or boots? I love sandals. I would wear flip flops all year long if I could.

Purse or backpack? Haha! Is this even a question? Purse. CUTE purse!!

Team Jacob or Team Edward? Team Jacob all the way books and movie. But especially in the books! Oh poor Jacob.

Wizards of Waverly Place or Hannah Montana? W of WP because Selena Gomez is the shit. She is hilarious and gorgeous!

Mall or online shopping? I LOVE online shopping because there is such a wide variety and nowadays shipping is almost always fast and free. Some of my favorite online shops are Forever21 Canada, Urban Outfitters and Old Navy.

Tennis or soccer? Soccer, I played it for years and years when I was younger! Lots of fun! The best part was my Dad was always my soccer coach. Even my Mom was one year!

MAC or Maybelline? Humm hmmm. MAC, but I only like a few products...like paint pots and pigments. (They last forever! and I use them all the time.)
