When a snack attack hits, don’t let your healthy eating plan go out the window. Print this list and stick it to your fridge so that you can have instant inspiration the next time you are craving a snack. Decide whether you are craving something sweet, salty, creamy or crunchy, and find an item that best suits the need you have.
1. Rice cakes (get the brown rice variety).
2. Apple slices (can be sprinkled with some Himalayan sea salt if sour).
3. Celery spread with nut butter.
4. Light popcorn or plain popcorn: use coconut oil to pop in a covered pan.
5. Use leftover rice or quinoa to make a sweet porridge: drizzle maple syrup and sprinkle cinnamon, adds nut milk and bananas, or warm with fruit juice.
6. Carrots: particularly the super-sweet, organic carrots.
7. Crunchy crudités of veggies and dip (hummus is great!)
8. Handful of raw almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts.

10. Smoothies: mix whatever you have in the kitchen – fruit, ice, nut milk, with carob powder or another super food
for an instantly filling mini meal.
11. Wheatgrass shot.
12. Hummus with veggies, or rice crackers.
13. Baked sweet potato topped with coconut cream.

15. Organic coconut yogurt and fruit.
16. Organic dark chocolate chips or carob chips.
17. Frozen yogurt: make your own by freezing fruit and then blending it with coconut milk!
18. Dried fruit in small quantities (dehydrated at home is better than store-bought).

30. Fresh lime or lemon juice as seasonings or in beverage
31. Lightly salted edamame.
