Healthy Snacks

For the people who actually read this (I know who you are and y'all are super awesome and I would mail you fabulous presents if I was friends with you in real life) I am taking a cooking class about every semester as part of my Nutrition degree. This semester the class is an hour long and the lab is four house long (it is as bad as it sounds).
    Last Thursday (which is the day I have lab) we made healthy snack for our club meeting that we were having during class. The recipes came from Real Simple magazine. Here were the ones that we made and the calories in each:

Bagel With Ricotta and Strawberries
148 calories | 4 g fiber | 7 g protein | 5 g fat 
For the last of these we did bananas and strawberries.

 

Celery Sticks With Hummus and Olives
129 calories | 5 g fiber | 5 g protein | 8 g fat
The hummus was delicious. I took off the olives though because I had olives.

Beet Chips With Curried Yogurt
180 calories | 5 g fiber | 6 g protein | 11 g fat
The curried yogurt was really good. The chips were a different story. My classmates ended up over cooking i.e. burning them. We ended eating Kale chips which were a acquired taste.

 

Banana, Kale, and Almond Milk Smoothie
201 calories | 5 g fiber | 5 g protein | 4 g fat
Everyone said that this was really yummy. I did not drink this however since the container said it may contain coconut (which I am allergic to).

Ham and Jicama Wraps
74 calories | 2 g fiber | 8 g protein | 2 g fat 
These taste kind of like Asian pears. The grain mustard actual makes this.  



Whole-Grain Bread With Almond Butter and Peaches
135 calories | 3 g fiber | 6 g protein | 7 g fat 
We did the almond butter but added honey to it. Instead of peaches we used apples.





Most of these were super easy to make. It was interesting trying out some of the things that I have never had before like the Jiamca. I am going to try to not be a blog slacker for real this time. Until next time, Laters....
