Snacking Tips

SNACK IDEAS!! WHEEE!!!

Instead of crackers or bread, try slices of apple or pear with goat cheese. A drop of honey will also help beat back that sugar beast.

Carrots and celery are not very bioavailable raw, but they can be great mouth occupiers. Dip them in almond or cashew butter. If you can't eat nuts, goat cheese or mustard maybe? You can also eat them straight, but again, nutrition wise not so effective, just great for keeping your pie-hole busy.


Nuts
, if you can eat them, are a great freaking snack. The protein and the fat content make them really satiating.

Berries are a good substitute for candy, particularly when they are in season.

Roast a chicken, or get one of those rotisserie chickens from the store (make sure no weird ingredients), shred it up, mix it with some tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and diced onion, salt and pepper. Maybe add diced up apple or chopped walnuts and celery. You got yourself a pretty satisfying chicken salad.
