Ok so eating healthy really isn't that difficult if you have enough time and money. HOWEVER, since I am poor and super busy then it is sometimes hard for me. I have found that if I prepare a few things when I have time then I can save them and eat them later. This is especially helpful when it gets to be mid morning and mid afternoon when my blood sugar is low and I am considering attacking the vending machine.
A. Fresh berries (check)
B. Greek Yogurt (check)
C. Snacking (check check)
All you need is berries (I normally use blueberries), greek yogurt (I like the honey vanilla), and access to a freezer.
Step 1: wash berries. (I used raspberries and blackberries as Kroger was out of blueberries)
Step 2: Dry them thoroughly. If they are wet then the yogurt will not stick to them.
Step 3: Find a pan and cover it with a non stick surface like wax paper or foil. I have a Silpat, so I use that. If you do not own one, you should buy one! They are amazing and your cookies, salmon, etc will never burn!
Step 4: Using a toothpick, dip a single berry into the yogurt. Make sure to coat it thoroughly and then place it on the pan. Repeat this until all berries are gone. I find that one container of yogurt works for a box of berries.
Once you are done place them in the freezer for a few hours. The pop em off and eat em right away! Or you can put them in a plastic bag and take them with you to work. When eaten right away they are like a delicious hard candy. If you eat them at work in the afternoon they are still cold but not nearly as hard. I prefer them right outta the freezer. YUM!
Thanks for reading! Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions.
PS - Holding strong at 15 pounds lost! I am just glad I didn't gain when in Vegas. Let's see if I can't get to 20 by tax day.
