Let’s talk about snacks!?

I LOVE snacks! All kinds of snacks. Especially lately. I’ll forgo dinner in lieu of platter of snacks.

When I decided to begin weeding out more of the heavily processed junk in my diet I was also mindful to replace old favorites with healthier alternatives. Paying attention to portion sizes and moderation is key!

Here are some of my favorites.
Instead of a bag of Hot Cheetos I’ll have some @traderjoes Jerk Style Plantain Chips.

Instead of a glass of wine I’ll drink sparkling water.

Instead of generic gummy bears with food dyes and corn syrup I’ll have @smartsweets

Other favorites are banana chips with almond butter, dark chocolate, nuts, popcorn, fresh fruit, and dried fruit.

This is of course a better not best situation but I’ve found that sometimes eating things that are *better* instead of always feeling pressure to eat what’s *best* keeps me on a healthier path long term.

What are some of your favorite *better* snacks?
