Rice Cake Snacks:
Take one plain or lightly salted rice cake and spread a thin layer of almond butter and top with half of a banana sliced. If you want a sweeter rice cake spread on a thin layer of Justin's Hazelnut butter (Nutella is not a good alternative) and top with a sliced strawberry.
Microwaved Egg Whites:
Pour Egg Beaters egg whites into a coffee mug filling the mug about half way, cook in the microwave for a minute and a half. I add in leftover food from the dining hall salad bar, like spinach and a little bit of cheese. Top with cracked pepper for added taste!
Apples and Cinnamon Oatmeal:
Microwave a packet of plain organic oatmeal (follow directions on the packaging). Cut up about 1/4 of a red apple and add the finely chopped apple (cut the rest of the apple up to snack on later) to the oats and sprinkle cinnamon on top. If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal add a teaspoon of agave. (P.S.- I am aware I always talk about oatmeal, but it is my not so secret weight loss weapon... I suggest everyone eats it!!)
Green Strawberry and Banana Smoothie:
Blender required. Blend 6 oz of water, a cup of frozen spinach, 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries, and 1/3 of a banana (not frozen). You can substitute strawberries with other berries or make a mixed berry green smoothie by using 1/2 a cup of frozen mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries).
Note on frozen fruit: I have started to freeze my own fruit because some bags of frozen fruit have way too many preservatives, no need to add anything, the freezer does everything! I cut my strawberries and throw them in a freezer bag with blueberries and blackberries.
