Super Slimming Snacks!



Super Slimming Snacks!

One of the most common questions I get is:

"What should I snack on?"

There are tons of options out there, but the key is finding something that is balanced with both PROTEIN & FIBRE to keep you feeling full and take the edge of your next meal.

The more natural the better! Here are a few of my faves:



1. The Simply Bar - FILL UP ON PROTEIN. NOT, SUGAR FAT & CALORIES


These bars now come in some awesome flavours like CARAMEL PEANUT, CINNAMON PECAN & LEMON COCONUT. My all-time favourite is definitely the peanut butter chocolate though...

 They are also gluten free, low glycemic and vegan.

Compared to traditional granola bars, these fill you up much longer and leave you with a lasting energy, versus a crash and burn feeling that you get from other bars.

Convenient, and a great Canadian-born product to keep on hand for travel and a "plan-B" option when fresh whole fruits, veggies and nuts are not available.


2. Simply Protein Chips -


These are one of the only high-protein chips I've seen! I love the fact that they are portion controlled for < 150 calories and actually leave you feeling quite full and satisfied. They are a little bit more crunchy than the average potato chip, but the sweet and spicy flavour certainly compensates for the extra crunch.

I highly recommend these for a pre-dinner snack!


  Whichever snack food you choose, just remember that portion control is the key to keeping the calories in check!
