Healthy Snack Options - Alpine Lace® Deli Cheese
A few months ago I completely changed my diet. Not only was the food I was eating bad for my body, but it was taking a toll on me. I have three young boys who keep me really busy and I was exhausted all of the time. I know a huge part of it was my diet. I decided to change my lifestyle and start to make conscious decisions when it came to my meals and snack options. I now try to focus on eating 6 meals a day. Even though they may be much smaller in portion they keep me full all day long.I started by planning out my meals ahead of time. Each Sunday I sit down and make a meal plan of everything I will eat for the week. This helps me stay on track. I had a difficult time when it came to picking out snacks. I was unsure what actually would be healthy to re-fuel my body while still choosing a balanced snack. Since we are always on the go I need easy options that will help keep me physically fueled.Since I am at home with my boys I also need to focus on healthy snack options that they will enjoy too. Our family are huge cheese fans so I love being about to eat Alpine Lace® Swiss Cheese with various other quick snacks to stay energized. Here are a few of our favorite options:
Alpine Lace® Swiss Cheese paired with fruit is a nice morning snack that both me and my boys enjoy. This cheese is reduced fat so it is a great option to choose to re-fuel to get through the morning. My kids love when they get to eat anything from a toothpick! Either of these two snacks are great on the go as well because they are simple to pack and eat. This one is definitely my kids favorite. They love eating cheese and crackers. We used the Alpine Lace® Swiss Cheese and added some Turkey pepperoni for a delicious yet healthy afternoon snack.
