Snack Time!

It's no secret I'm a big fan of snacking. I can't go an hour without eating something, unless I'm working or sleeping. That being said, I decided to write down a few snacks I love that are not only satisfying, but they're also paleo approved.

Frozen Fruit and Coconut Milk

This is probably one of my all-time favorite snacks.

(Don't judge my photo, the struggle is real)

Frozen Fruit: Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries (Costco)
Canned Coconut Milk (Whole Foods)
Cinnamon

Simply pour the canned coconut milk over the frozen berries and top with cinnamon. We like to get our coconut milk from Whole Foods because they give you a discount if you buy by the case - which we always do. It's important you look at the ingredient list. This is primarily why we purchase the canned vs the bottles or jug milk, there isn't any added sugar. With all canned milks, you will want to make sure your refrigerate the remaining substance, and stir the liquid before use.

Homemade Ice Cream

We bought a Yonanas machine from Bed Bath and Beyond about 3 years ago and have loved using it! We like to make different flavor ice cream that we know is completely healthy, and what ingredients are used.

The main ingredient in the ice cream made with Yonanas is... bananas. It gives ice cream the creamy consistency, while added ingredients change the taste of the treat. We've tried a lot of different combinations, but as long as it will go in the processor, it will work fine.

Strawberry Banana Ice Cream: 2 servings
4 frozen, peeled bananas (peel before freezing)
8-10 Fresh Strawberries

Starting with bananas, alternate bananas and strawberries into the processor. Serve immediately.

Apples and Almond Butter

1 apple
Almond Butter (no added oils or ingredients)

Slice apple, spread almond butter on half of the apple (Duh).



There are also a few things I like to just snack on that are already made.


Dried Plantains (Harmons)

Chips and Salsa (Dried Plantains and Salsa, both from Harmons)

Raw Veggies and Ranch (homemade via mayo)

Celery and Almond Butter

Larabars

Bell Peppers

Greek Salad (Cucumber, Tomato, Kalamata Olives (Costco) and Feta Cheese (Costco))



Hopefully this will give you a few ideas and help with on-the-go snacks, cravings and things to eat between meals!
