You new eating plan is in full effect this summer. You are following your workout schedule by hitting the gym and getting outdoors. You feel good. You have more energy. Your clothes fit better. You are definitely on your way to a healthier you. But… you can’t help craving those mid day, evening, and late night snacks. You don’t want all of your hard work to be in vain but at the same time, you don’t want to cheat yourself either. Denial is not a friend to a living a fit life, it will send you right back to unhealthy eating habits.
Here are 5 low calorie snacks to eat this summer:
1. Fruits: Watermelon, mango, and oranges all are great for you and the natural sugar will help smoother your sweet tooth.
2. Low calorie natural frozen fruit bars: Try coconut, pineapple, and strawberry. Not only are they low-calorie but they will help you cool of during these hot summer days.
3. Plain greek yogurt and a little honey: The consistency of the greek yogurt is thick and will be very filling. The sprinkle of honey is just enough sweetness. A great snack idea full of protein.
4. Hummus, celery, and carrots: Amazing!!! Trade the heavy dips and chips for a much lighter version.
5. String cheese: If you can’t break the urge for cheese and crackers, try some low calorie string cheese.
