Healthy Snack Ideas with Snack-O-Matic

[CoachJenn]

I am now going through a program called Turbo Fire. It is the next fitness program released by Chalene Johnson of Turbo Jam fame. If you’ve heard of Turbo Kick (perhaps taught at a club near you) it is the same premise. Turbo Fire takes it to the next level of intensity for sure. Anyway, I’ll be writing a review soon. Today, I wanted to focus on the Snack-O-Matic provided in the nutrition guide.

As I’m sure we will all agree, grabbing an apple or a handful of nuts for a snack can get pretty boring pretty fast. Chalene created a fun “Snack-O-Matic” chart to help you make fun and fast snacking choices. Basically, you pick a base, a dip, and a topping to reach about a 100 calorie total. I am having fun with it already. Today my snack is apple slices warmed in the microwave with crumbled walnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon. YUMMY! Here are some of the option ideas:

Base choices:
Apple
Cantaloupe
Carrot
Celery
Corn Chips
Pita
Rice cake

Toppings
Banana slices
Bell pepper
Blueberries
Egg whites
Raspberries
Tomato
Tuna
Turkey

Dip ideas
Avocado
Cottage cheese
Cream cheese
Honey
Nut butter
Salsa
Pesto

Lastly, there are freebies that basically add no calories, but can add some spice to your snack. Ideas include: Basic, mint, mustard, cinnamon, garlic, etc.

So, have fun with your snacks and create your own Snack-O-Matic chart at home. Happy Snacking!

Oh, honey, I sooooo l-o-v-e this, & I am sooooo going to use it!  Thank you so very much!

You know, I'm already signed up with you & I love the Beach Body workouts that I've found.  I'm not a big eater, but my appetite has increased since I've extended my daily cardio workouts.  Oy vey!  Snack-O-Matic is just in time, doll!  *wink*

Keep up the good work!  We love & appreciate you!

Love & light...Ceci
