-delicious, healthy snacks-

For all of you who are either on the go, or a mom you know what it is like to not have a ton of time to eat.. with me being a working mom, a brand new mom to be exact, I am having a hard time finding a time to sit down and eat something. I know I am not the only one who has this problem, so I thought I would post some of my favorite little on the go snacks, drinks and tips. 

My first yummy snack is: Special K Vanilla Almond cereal with Silk Almond Milk. Just pour some cereal in a small bowl, top with the almond milk, and you've got yourself a delicious and nutrition little breakfast, lunch or snack. And an added bonus, is there is only 170 calories in a bowl. (milk included!!)

Second: I am not a coffee drinker, and so when I found this product I fell in love!!! It is called "Crio Bru" It is ground up Cocoa Beans and it brews just like coffee. It has so many benefits like: 

Crio Brü is made from 100%, perfectly roasted cocoa beans. Nothing more, nothing less. No sugar, no chemicals, no gluten, no dairy. Although the cocoa beans are roasted to make Crio Brü, many of the health benefits found in the raw cocoa beans are preserved, giving you a superior product with sky-high antioxidants, abundant minerals and healthy energy.

Crio Brü contains a natural stimulant called theobromine which is gentle, long-lasting and non-addictive. Theobromine makes you feel focused, energized and on top of the world.

Crio Bru is so delicious and easy to make. I just bought myself a coffee maker and some filters and followed the directions on the back. I brew it, and then you have the choice to have it hot or cold. I prefer mine "on the rocks". (meaning over ice) What I do is, prepare a tall glass full of ice, pour in a little vanilla sweetener or cream (like 1 tsp) then once the Crio has set in the fridge for about 45 minutes I pour that into the cup, stir and enjoy. It is delicious, no caffeine, and has so many health benefits. You can find Crio Bru in stores or you can visit their website and buy online. I linked the site to this post.

Next: Pistachios!!! 

Pistachios contain fewer calories and more potassium and vitamin K per serving than other nuts. A 1-ounce serving of dry-roasted pistachios contains 160 calories, 6 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 15 grams of fat, including only 2 grams of saturated fat. It also provides you with 25 percent of the daily value for vitamin B-6, 15 percent of the daily value for thiamine and phosphorus and 10 percent of the daily value for magnesium. Pistachios also have been shown to help decrease "LDL" Cholesterol, (the bad cholesterol). Snacking on these or any other kind of nut have been shown to help manage body weight and fat.  And another added bonus is, they are DELICIOUS!

Next: Rickland Orchards Granola Bars

These granola bars are delicious, healthy and low-calories. Perfect for on the go. They come in so many different flavors, but these two, the Orchard Peach and then the Cranberry Almond are my favorites... Well they are for the moment, I haven't tried all of the flavors yet. But these granola bars are perfect for anyone. They are a good source of Protein and Fiber. You can find the bars in any grocery store with a health food isle, in the power bar section. 

My last item for this post is my absolute favorite bread... 

Dave's Killer Bread

21 Whole Grains Bread is my absolute favorite.. I had to include this because I am a LOVER of carbs... I know, I know, I'm horrible, but it' the truth. Life would be so boring without carbs. This bread is so tasty.. It really does have 21 whole grains, no preservatives and it is all organic. It is very yummy s toast with a light coat of butter, with a sandwich, or even plain. The bread is grainy, and has a yummy coat of grains on the crust. The bread is 110 calories per slice, (the slices are huge!) and each serving has 6 grams of protein. This really is "Killer" bread.
