6: Quick Healthy Snacks!

I know a lot of girls are struggling with eating healthy and keeping fit so I'm going to do some "Stay Healthy & Fit Tips". What an original name, right? haha So this will be the first in the installment and it's just going to be some simple snacks you can eat on a whim if you're in a rush or whenever you need something to please your appetite.  (:

#1. Fruit & Dip: Who doesn't love fruit?? Especially with a yummy dip!
-Just chop up some of your favorite fruits, or buy some pre-cut at the store, and mix together a few simple ingredients for a dip!
-For the dip: 1 cup of low fat yogurt, a tablespoon orange juice, about a tablespoon of honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. You can change the amounts of the ingredients to whatever taste you like better! Mix them all together for a sweeeeet dip!

#2. Wraps: Take a whole wheat tortilla, and fill it with cheese, turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, and whatever else you like! Just try to skip the mayo! You can also get creative with what you put in it! Maybe peanut butter and bananas? I have put a small bit of cream cheese, tomatoes, and basil pesto. It was so good! These things get addicting and you could soon find yourself making one everyday after school! haha

#3. Chocolate Covered Strawberries?: DARK chocolate can be good for you and your body in proportion! Take strawberries (or cherries, pineapple, apples, etc.) and dip into melted dark chocolate! It doesn't even seem like a "good-for-you" food, but it is!



I will make more posts in the future adding onto this list!
