I strive each day to fuel my body with the best food that I can. I don't always succeed. I have a monster of a sweet tooth that has me reaching for chocolate, candy, and over sweetened "energy bars" to satisfy the cravings. There is one way to beat the sweet monster, and that is eating more fruits and vegetables. Easier said that done. The prepackaged fruit and veggie bowls at the convenience or grocery store are pretty expensive compared to the less healthy options, so I have taken to making my own at home. Here's what I did:
 |
| Healthy snack ready! |
I purchased some small reusable ziplock screw top containers that are leak proof to start.
Fruit bowl
-Green seedless grapes
-Strawberrys (sliced)
-Raspberrys
Rinse everything, of course, and put a half paper towel in bottom of container to soak up any excess moisture, and there you go!
Veggie bowl
-Grape tomatoes
-Pea pods
-Baby carrots
-Radish (sliced)
Again, a good rinse and paper towel in place and you have yourself a great snack on the go.

| Looks good enough to eat. |
If you want to spice it up a bit, enjoy your veggie bowl with some hummus and your fruit bowl with a serving of greek yogurt. Feel free to add you own favorite fruits and veggies!!
What's your favorite healthy snack?
