As a rule, I avoid any processed snacks with more than 5 ingredients, or that include an oil other than olive or coconut. My favorites are mandarins, carrots, celery, parsnips, and herring.

I have been eating 1-2 apples a day.

We have started buying all Kashi, Total, Raisin Bran, healthy foods and snacks. Everyone has favorites and lucky for us Kashi covers each of us in that area.

For breakfast I have Oatmeal with Milk and Half Grilled Cheese Sandwich and I slice of turkey bacon with water and orange juice…..The rest of the day one protein and more fruits and vegetables and kashi in between soon!!!

Every day I eat at least three servings of fruit – breakfast, midmorning, and at noon (plus a bit on my yogurt in the afternoon). Being vegetarian, I’m always craving vegetables so I eat them with lunch dinner, and in the occasional egg/tofu scramble at breakfast. I tell everyone how wonderful healthy foods can be, with or without creativity.

As a registered nurse I am aware of the benifits of healthy eating and snacking. I have for nearly a year now made a pracvtice of packing fruit and vegetables to carry to work with because of the high demands of the work day and not knowing if an opportunity to sit down to consume a full meal will be possible. I also encourage to do the same.
