Before I get into these "snacks," I should probably clarify that my definition of a snack is anything that doesn't require intensive cooking. Therefore, many of these "snacks" end up being my meals. Now that I'm back at work (I'm a teacher) I tend to eat many smaller meals throughout the day rather than three big meals. This is actually healthier than the three meals a day model many of us grew up with, but being on the go constantly, it's just practical for me when I teach.
To be honest...I cook an actual meal maybe twice a week (eek! I know). The rest of my meals are more snack-like or eaten out (healthy options of course).
Here are my lazy, healthy snacks:
- Yogurt (goat) w/ berries and GF granola
- Hard boiled eggs
- Almonds
- GF crackers and hummus
- Cheese and salami/turkey/ham (okay I know these aren't super healthy foods, but I don't eat this that often and I buy minimally processed cheese and meat)
- Tuna w/ mayo, pickles and GF crackers (again, mayo isn't healthy but I get low fat mayo and don't eat it that often)
- Seaweed
- Fruit leathers
- Pickles (I've had an obsession with pickles my entire life. Don't judge)
- Apple w/ peanut butter
If there any other "lazy" snacks that you suggest please let me know! I'm always looking for lazy ways to eat healthy :)
I love avocados! I usually just cut them in half, and scoop them out with crackers. My faves are Sun Dried Tomato and Basil Wheat Thins, but your GF crackers would be awesome I bet.
ReplyDeleteI love avocados but usually eat them as a garnish...I should start snacking on them though!
