April 2020: Team Recipe Challenge (Week Three: Snack Thread)
Ok, Breakfasts are here, Lunches are here...now it's time to talk SNACKS! These are a critical bridge from One Mill to the next. Having the right snack on hand can make the difference between a good workout or bad workout. It could also mean the difference between continuing your healthy eating streak and breaking it.
Tell us what your favorite go to healthy snacks are!

My personal favorite is Apple Slices and Peanut Butter (preferably all-natural). This hits my fruit category and gets me some protein that I crave!

Snacks- I am a peanut butter/nutbutter fiend so almost any snack will include those. Pretzel chips with PB, banana with PB, Dates with PB , apple or dried apple rings with PB. A few nuts, currently we have brazil, pecan, walnut, cashew, macadamia, and sunflower/pumpkin seed. Popcorn.
When trying to hit race weight, I try to eliminate snacking as much as possible, and a couple of much lower calorie options are pickled veggies, sauerkraut , low sodium v8 juice etc.
I love greek yogurt. At work I snack on carrots and lightly salted nuts. IF i'm really feeling indulgent I will make ants on a log. Gotta have really fresh crispy celery though.
Prior to training toasted 1/2 english muffin with nut butter. My midnight snack is banana and peanut butter.
After training (2 hours+) smoothy of peanut powder, non fat greek yogurt, cocoa powder, cocunut milk, banana and a shot of coffee, ice. BLEND. Gotta earn it though.
