Upgrade Your Snack Game!

Upgrade Your Snack Game!

Upgrade Your Snack Game!Looking to upgrade your boring snack game for your kids at home during social isolation?Try these tummy-filling apple rings! Apples have been the ONE fruit I have been able to consistently find at the grocery stores and they pack a nutritious and delicious punch.I recommend starting with a Granny smith apple as they are slightly lower in sugar and carbs, 22% higher in fiber, and contain 63% more protein than their red apple counterparts.Start by rinsing the apple really well.

Now the fun toppings! You can READ MORE

It is not all about the number on the scale. Itemize your accomplishments; big and small! Are you stronger? Do you have more energy? Are you sleeping better? Are your clothes fitting better? There are so many accomplishments outside of simply weight loss, and that progress needs to be celebrated as well!Change Up Your RoutineIf you feel like you make be READ MORE
