This is what I am eating after my morning workout...

Nutty maple-berry overnight oats 😋

For me, my post-workout snack is just part of my daily routine because I follow a macro-based diet and know I’m feeding myself what I need most of the time.

How about you?

😋 HEALTHY SNACK SWAPS 😋

This one is for all my snackers: 4 healthy snack swaps!

Save this post for the next time you get hit with cravings.

🥔🥔 INSTEAD OF POTATO CHIPS, TRY:

Homemade kale or zucchini chips. Toss kale or thinly sliced zucchini in olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and bake at 225ºF/107ºC until crispy (15-30 minutes for kale chips, 70-90 minutes for zucchini). Stir at least once during cooking.

Or jicama or sweet potato fries. Heat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Cut the veggies into fry-shaped sticks, toss with a small amount of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through. They should be cooked through and crispy-tender.

🍭 INSTEAD OF CANDY, TRY:

Fresh berries or frozen grapes. Both are sweet options with no added sugars.

🍨 INSTEAD OF ICE CREAM, TRY:

Frozen banana bites. Slice a banana, place in a freezer-proof bag, and pop it into the freezer. When you want a creamy snack, place a few “bites” in a bowl.
Or frozen chia pudding. Mix 2 Tbsp with ½ cup (120 ml) of your favorite milk and 1 tsp of honey or maple syrup. Let it sit for 30 mins to thicken then pop into the freezer.

🍪 INSTEAD OF COOKIES, TRY:

Crunchy-creamy rice cakes. Slather brown rice cakes with a thin layer of peanut or almond butter.

It’s not about depriving yourself or eating a perfect diet.

It’s about making choices that support your health and your goals! 💪

Myth vs. Fact: “Eating healthy is expensive.” 🥗

🌟MYTH!🌟

Some healthy foods can seem pricey, but there are many affordable options like legumes, seasonal produce, generic (e.g., “store-brand”) products, and grains.

Not to mention the fact that eating healthy, home-cooked meals when you do it right can be a lot less expensive than eating out.

Some tips:
✅ Plan your meals for the week
✅ Shop sales
✅ Add plant-based proteins to your meals
✅ Eat leftovers
✅ Become a food storage expert so your food stays fresher longer

There’s also a hidden cost to eating an unhealthy diet: medical care!

Unhealthy diets account for almost 20% of UK healthcare costs from heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, according to researchers.

It pays to eat at home! 😉👌
