I receive a lot of questions from my readers RE mid-day or snack ideas.

They’re doing better at eating less sugar and processed junk, but, many still want to have some easy to prepare snacks to bring to the office or along on road trips or flights.

I notice that most people  think more about what to wear for the day and end up not prepared with healthy snacks. Is that you?

If you don’t plan ahead,  and bring something healthy and balanced with you when you’re out and about for the day, or at work, you’re going to end up choosing the junk food at the vending machine or corner store. Right?

Frankly, this is where I have the advantage. I can’t jump in the car and grab something.

Clearly, I need to be prepared with healthy snacks that I can have in my purse or gym bag etc. So for you, it means forming this good habit of planning ahead even if it’s just a bag of nuts and dried fruit to keep you going until you can get a healthy meal.

Anyway, to help you out, I went to Mike Geary, one of my nutrition coaches for some healthy but delicious snack ideas to share with you.

When you need something quick but nutritious and fat-burning, These snack ideas will keep you away from  the processed junk.

So here are some of my favorite Mike Geary natural foods based mid-meals that I’ve have used.

•Apple or other fruit with almond butter

•Hummus with carrot sticks or sliced red/yellow/orange peppers

•Guacamole with carrot sticks or sliced red/yellow/orange peppers

•Ricotta cheese (grass-fed if possible) mixed with cocoa powder, stevia, and vanilla extract (delicious high protein, low carb snack!)

•Cottage cheese mixed with yogurt, berries, and walnuts or pecans

•A couple hard boiled eggs with carrot and celery sticks and hummus (roasted red pepper hummus is my favorite)

•Celery sticks with organic peanut butter or almond butter (a classic quick snack)

•A piece of sprouted grain toast (sprouted grain preferred nutritionally over “whole grain”) with nut butter and berries

•Fresh sliced pineapple with a handful of macadamia nuts (could substitute dried fruit like raisins, dates, figs, etc)

•a bowl of blueberries mixed with raw almonds

•Cottage cheese with cinnamon, apple slices, and walnuts (mmm, mmm good)

That should give you some ideas to start working with.  Now you have ZERO EXCUSES for resorting to junk food snacks on the road or at the office, when you have all of the delicious and healthy fat-burning snack ideas right here!

I almost forgot. Have you ever tried Mike’s
