Sounds yummy and nutritious ! Hippo's take on some snacks.......

Do you know a bad snack from a good snack.?
It can be very misleading!

Here are some healthy snacks as long as moderation overrules your temptations.

1.Bean good.
2.Edayummy-Soybeans packed with protein ( the soybean trounces all other beans for protein) excellent for sprinkles on salad and munching.
3.Holy Kale- contains calories plus and sodium+ but it's kale - so go for it!

Then there are a few not so upfront about nutrition values that they list on label.
1.Hippie snacks-Coconot? not quite true to the label- good source of saturated fat though twice as much as on label.
2.Blue Monkey Coconut chips gets it right..... Numbers on label are right at least ! Don't forget to checkout fats on label.
3.Sweet potato tortilla chips contain more corn and oil than sweet potatoe.

I think that almonds, peanuts, seeds, and other nuts have more nutrients /vitamins, protein, and zinc and magnesium and unsaturated fats( lower risk of heart disease) without added salt or sugar.
Can be used for munchies.... Nuts make a excellent snack.

Happy Spring!

Healthier Easter Twists!

Easter is just a few days away.

As you know "Hippo" loves a twist especially when it relates to Wellness...

A few Healthy Twists that will help you at Easter time....

-Make a healthier dessert with less sugar and a substitute for oils or butter/margarine,using unsweetened applesauce.Also white flour ( 1/2 of amt. could be replaced with whole wheat
flour.

-Easter baskets could consist of some chocolate bunnies and chicks etc. as anticipated but add some non food items (a makeover never hurts) as non food items will replace some sugar edible items and if items are fun the candy won't be missed.

-Have plenty of vegetables available for eating at dinner and raw veggies for the rest of day for treats.

-let your hard boiled eggs hatch-devilled eggs handy for brunch or lunches.

-Choose healthy snacks to serve ; absent of sugars, excess sodium.Use seed crackers, make kale chips.
(Read labels and list of ingredients on packaged snacks before purchasing.)
