Healthy Grazing List

We all have to find what works when it comes to shifting from snacks to healthy grazing. It’s not always easy. I’m glad that we’ve collaborated and add items to our group list every session.

Remember that grazing means eating small amounts. This is important because many of these foods are high in calories so you need to eat just enough to satisfy the need to chew or get the taste. Several of us also find the more we take vitamins the less cravings we have between meals. And don't forget to drink water first - you might just be thirsty.

Here is our collaborated list to date for each of us to POST in our Pantry. Thanks for that suggestion San!

Always start with...
Water - sometimes it's really that we're thirsty when we feel hungry

Then try these wonderful Arbonne Options...
Fizzy Tabs - If you need help with the taste of water and want an energy boost
Fizzy Tab Popsicles – Just buy the popsicle trays available at any home store
Arbonne Chews
Protein Bars - made from Fig8 Chocolate Protein Mix - try making 1" cubes like chews!
Cup of Detox Tea or splurge on Chai

And Then We Can Choose…
Apples with natural peanut butter/almond butter
Frozen grapes - yummy in the summer
Fresh fruitDried Fruits

Almonds, Walnuts
Seeds such as Pepitas - roasted and shelled pumpkin seeds

Hard Boiled Egg
Baby Bell cheeses
Protein, Lunch Meat, Chicken, Fish – try cooking extra so there will be something in the fridge ready to eat
Greek Yogurt with Honey
Yogurt/small cups of yogurt - sprinkle w/granola if you need something crunchy

Baby carrots or Hummus with carrots
Prepared Veggies ... celery, peppers, mushrooms, carrots, cherry tomatoes

Parmesan Zucchini Crisps - you can google the recipe
Rice cakes

Chewing Gum – especially while preparing food – stops you from sampling as you fix your meal!
Peppermint sugar free gum
