Another Cart check in ladies! Next time your about to check out take another look in your cart and see what “not so healthy” items you can do without. If it makes its way to your house you will end up eating it.
I always start by piling in tons of organic fruit and veggies. If your fridge is stocked with these it makes it much easier to eat healthy!
Here are some of my go to tasty and nutrient packed snacks…
Homemade smoothie with frozen Acai ,strawberries, plain greek yogurt, chia seeds and orange juice
Toasted Ezekiel bread with half of a mashed avocado, topped with a little sea salt and some scrambled eggs (one whole egg and two egg whites)
Quick snack when I need a pick me up…Ezekiel bread, thin spread of almond butter, ground flax seed, half a banana and topped with a little manuka honey.
Chocolate Peanut Butter spread aka Heaven in a jar! I posted this on Instagram and am obsessed! Nutrition facts are comparable to regular peanut butter and this has less fat so Id much rather have this! (beware if you have a peanut butter weakness like myself this stuff is addicting!!)
The ezekiel bread with avocado looks heavenly!!!! Yum.
love your health posts! i have yet to get the manuka honey- i keep forgetting when I am at whole foods 🙂
thanks megan! its def worth picking up! Just make sure it says ACTOVE 16+ (OR HIGHER) that has the most benefits xo
Your inspire me! =) Thanks for all of these healthy ideas. Can't wait to hear about the joys of motherhood!!
thanks so much! I hope to do a baby update and birth story soon! xo
The avocado spread on the bread looks so yum!
it really is! you should def try it!
Thanks! I love these healthy eats posts. Do you drink any diet cola drinks Andee? I need to quit but I'm addicted! I'm printing this out and I'm going to try that Chocolate Peanut Butter.
I really don't drink soda because I feel like its just empty calories. I would rather spend my calories on something else but if soda is your vice I would stick to the smaller portion cans and try to get the all natural sodas (like Hansen) where they aren't packed with a ton of artificial chemicals xo
Thanks so much for these kind of posts. You inspire me so much. Every since starting to read your blog I have lost 25 pounds. 20 more to go and then I am happy. My favorites of your recommendations are:
PB2
Ezekiel Bread with PB and Banana
Kashi Waffles with PB and Banana
Skinny Fries
Popchips
Greek Yogurt and Fruit
I would love to copy some of your recipes as well.
THANKS THANKS THANKS for all your work you put in these kind of posts. Especially now, where you have to take care of the beautiful princess I apprciate your frequent postings even more.
PS: One question: do you buy whole eggs and toss the yolk or how do you do it?
thanks alexandra thats so nice to hear and congrats on losing 25 pounds thats major!!! As for the eggs I buy a carton of eggs and a carton of the liquid egg whites. I hate wasting the yolk from the carton eggs so I usually just use one whole egg and pour in the egg whites from the carton. Hope this helps and good luck with the continued weight loss!
Thanks so much!!! I just picked up a avocado today and some whole grain bread. Never hat it that way. Cant wait!!!
Oh and I forgot. Can I get the chocolate pb at whole foods?
yes and I've also purchased it in the grocery section at Target xo

Andeee your food postings are always such a treat to read, not to mention all the eye candy! Your ideas are an inspiration to us all; I have taken your ideas to heart and eat so much more cleaner now! Thank you! (tiffancastro, instagram!)
Hey andee sorry if this is kind of random (I don't have a fb so I can leave a comment!) but I was recently thinking about getting an alexander wang rocco duffle and was wondering how you were liking yours, seeing as you've had it for awhile now. I'm hunting all over ebay for a reasonably priced one but before I commit to getting one I wanted to know if it was worth me paying an arm and a leg. I've been researching and while some people love it others say that it's heavy and pretty shapeless. If you could help me out i'd appreciate it so much!

I am loving your food posts – I get derailed SO easily at the grocery store and fall off my healthy eating wagon. Your posts are truly giving me inspiration and motivation to KEEP ON making healthy choices, day in & day out, not just once in a while. I hope motherhood is treating you well and you're able to give yourself a little TLC & rest! Take Care-
