Snackin' Healthy

Happy Hump Day Everyone!!!

How was everyone's day today? Hope you're not taking advantage of Wine down Wednesdays too much and being good at home with your healthy home cooked meal :)

Speaking of healthy meals, one of my biggest weaknesses has got to be snacking.  I love to snack and I used to snack all the time, even when I wasn't hungry, just because I was bored or because it was in front of me.  I have come to realize that even if I snack on healthy foods may it be nuts or Greek yogurt with fruits or whatever, too much is plain too much.

Now I drink water throughout the day (I try to go for at least a gallon a day) and that helps me a lot with quieting down my stomach.  If I feel the need to snack on something to hold me over until my main meal, I grab an apple or a banana, or some raw veggies with hummus.

I have been seeing posts about baked kale chips everywhere so I thought I'd try it out since chips are my all time favorite thing to snack on and if they turn out well, hopefully these will stop me from reaching into an air filled bag of potato chips.

I've tried kale at restaurants before and I liked it a lot but when I tried to make a salad with it at home, I couldn't stand the taste of it for some reason. I thought it was too bitter and rough for my liking. Maybe I didn't prepare it right and I really wanted to give it another try without dousing in salad dressing to choke it down my throat.

I gotta say, this was a winner! Super easy and super quick to make and it tasted delicious!  I found my recipe here but all you really need to do is to tear off the leaves from the thick stem, tear them into bite size pieces, spread them onto a baking sheet, sprinkle with some olive oil and some seasoned salt, bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, voila! Light and crispy kale chips at your disposal!

Chips to snack on that are healthy for me.. what???? I mean granted they're not AS good as unhealthy potato chips but pretty darn good if you ask me.

So, my goal is to find more healthy snacking options to try out and if you guys have any good recipes or ideas let me know and I'd like to try them!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great rest of the night and I'll catch you all soon!

Oh, and don't forget to be grateful for something before you go to bed today :)

Cheers,
