#5 Meal Prep Your Snacks
Speaking of meal prep, having healthy snacks on hand is a healthy habit that is equally as important. When hanger strikes, patience, and willpower seem to disappear. So, instead of fighting not-so-healthy food cravings, be prepared with nutrient-dense meal prepped snacks! Plus, having healthy snacks to munch on can help increase satiety and prevent splurging on excess calories.
Here are some ideas:
- DIY trail mix made with a mix of nuts, seeds, and freeze-dried fruit
- Chopped veggie sticks with a side of hummus or avocado
- Snack-sized yogurts (we love unsweetened greek, coconut, or almond yogurt) with a side of pre-portioned granola
- Portable fruits like bananas, oranges, and apples
#6 Avoid Sneaky Sugars & Make Healthier Swaps
One of the best healthy habits to follow? Read ingredient labels! Sneaky sugars come in many forms and can easily make their way onto your plate. Be mindful of what foods you’re consuming and the amount of sugar they contain. Avoiding processed ingredients and artificial sugars is the best way to stay on track with your goals, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your favorite foods.
When cravings strike, swap unhealthy options for healthier alternatives. Satisfy all your needs with these simple swaps!
