Snack Attack

I thought I would share with you guys some of my favorite easy, healthy-ish snack ideas.


(Disclaimer:  I am NOT a doctor, dietician or nutritionist.)


#1:  WATER!

Okay I know what you're thinking . . . WATER?  That's not a snack! 


You're right.  However, sometimes our body mistakes hunger for thirst or dehydration.  Many times when I chug a big glass of ice, cold water, I no longer feel the need for a snack.  How easy is that!?!


#2 Fresh Fruit

This is an excellent choice during the summer months.  I love the combination of grapes, raspberries, and blueberries!  I wash and prepare the fruit in advance so it is easy and enticing to grab for a quick snack.

# 3 Almonds

A handful of almonds can provide a great source of protein.  Just be sure you don't eat too many!  You can prepackage them in a snack size zippy bag for portion control.

# 4 String Cheese  

LOVE it!  Not only is this a healthy snack, but it is SOOO fun to eat!  It makes me feel youthful.  It easy to grab and go.  Healthy.  Convenient. Fun.  What more could you want?

# 5 Yogurt

The options with yogurt are endless -  Low-fat yogurt, Greek Yogurt, thick & creamy yogurt!  You can add granola and fresh fruit to make a parfait.  Whatever floats your boat!  (Sometimes I like to add a teaspoon of mini chocolate chips to vanilla yogurt to satisfy my sweet tooth. )


#6 Edamame  

Sprinkle with a little sea salt  -  Mmmmmm, delicious!

# 7 Sugar Free Jell-O


ONLY 10 Calories!  You can even add a little whipped topping to make it feel more indulgent.
(If you follow the Weight Watchers plan this snack = ZERO points!)

#8  Granola Bar


This is super easy to pack in your purse for those days you are out running errands.  My favorites are the Kind Bars and the Kashi TLC Dark Chocolate Coconut Granola Bars.




A healthy diet should include two small snacks a day.  If you need help keeping track of your snacks and meals be sure to check out the Diet & Fitness Journal.  Those who keep a diary lose twice as much weight as those who don't!

Deals & Steals! Betsey Johnson

I have always been a HUGE fan of Betsey Johnson.  I love the quality and quirkiness of her designs, especially the handbags, shoes and jewelry.  Her style is feminine, fun and flirty.

I just had to let y'all know about the "Going Out Of Business" sale.  It is going on right now online and in the retail stores.  Everything is 20%-50% off.

These shoes were originally $225.00 and are now marked down to $168.75.  They come in pink & gold.  Perfect to dress up a pair of jeans with a fun, bold necklace.

I look at the Betsey Johnson Too Too perfume every time I go to Sephora.   I did have a sample and really enjoyed the fragrance.  The scent is light and fruity.  I always like to keep a rollerball in my purse.  Originally priced at $18, but now on sale for $13.00.  

If you are fan of Betsey Johnson as well, you must check out this sale before everything is gone!  PS - The shipping costs are a little high, but there are still some great deals to be had!

UPDATE:  Why didn't I wait to place my order??  I just received this in an email.  (5/24)

The deals are now even better!!
