How About a Snack?

Arriving home and ready for that "crash and/or burn" moment? What do we usually do? Grab something to eat and fast.  Then the regret sets in. 

On the website mind body green, some excellent snack options are offered, including the following:

Baked Kale Crisps--Preheat oven to 400 degrees.Take one bunch kale (rinsed and dried) and chop into chip-sized pieces. Be sure to remove the stalks.Spray a large baking sheet with coconut cooking spray. Bake until crisp. Enjoy!
Crispy Apple Chips--Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Slice apples into the thinnest possible slices. Sprinkle on 1 T. cinnamon and 1/2 t. sea salt. Bake for one hour. Let cool to lose the "chewy" consistency. Eat alone or with a nut butter.
Banana Soft Serve--this one sounds great!
In a blender, combine 2 bananas (removed from their peels and frozen), 1/4 c. unsweetened nondairy milk (like almond), 1-2 t. agave nectar, 1 t. vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. When smooth, sprinkle on shredded unsweetened coconut.
Don't let junk food become your snack of choice; choose healthier options. Your body will love you for it!
