Some of the bad habits, (snacking whenever I please, too much coffee and diet soda) are works in progress. I am down to one diet soda a day and 1-2 cups of coffee, totally moderate. My snacking is way under control and I am reaching for healthier options. Today&#8217;s topic is just that, snacking while trying to be healthier\/watch what you eat.<\/p>\n<h2>Here are my thoughts on snacking\/eating throughout the day and some things I have found to be helpful-<\/h2>\n<p>I have always said I could live on snacks instead of full on meals. I love munching on things and I still can but am reaching for healthcare choices. One thing that has really opened my eyes and helped me especially in the morning and occasionally later afternoon when I need a pick up are smoothies\/juices.<\/p>\n<p>I bought one of those little Ninja Bullets which are perfect for making single or double servings. I have tried several combinations always being careful to make it as healthy but tasty as possible. This little machine has been such a lifesaver as I am not a big breakfast person but making a smoothie in the morning is a great way to get something in my system that is nutritionally beneficial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-54620\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/unnamdffded.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1148\" height=\"861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/unnamdffded.jpeg 1148w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/unnamdffded-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/unnamdffded-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/unnamdffded-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/unnamdffded-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1148px) 100vw, 1148px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A favorite which I make almost daily-<\/p>\n<p>2 cups spinach, blueberries (and whatever other berries you might have) half a banana, half an apple, 1\/2 cup\u00a0 Chobani nonfat plain yogurt, half a teaspoon ginger (from tube) or fresh ginger), a little water,\u00a0 and sometimes I add sunflower seeds, this is GOOD.
