Laurel’s Top 10 Healthy Snacks

  1. chobani.gif

    Chobani Greek Yogurt - This high protein all-natural Greek yogurt contains healthy probiotic cultures, comes from hormone-free milk in flavors like strawberry, peach, and honey, and is seriously yummy!

  2. falafel-balls.gif

    Veggie Patch Chickpea Falafel Balls - Because these have to be microwaved, they’re not an ideal on the go snack. However, this variety is all natural, full of protein, and I just can’t stop eating them!

  3. keri-bar.gif

    KeriBar - Developed by dietician Keri Glassman, the KeriBar was engineered to be, literally, the “perfect snack”! High in fiber and protein, these bars are all-natural, contain no trans fats, and will help keep you feeling satisfied and fueled all day!

  4. vitacoco.gif

    Vita Coco - Though not a snack, this coconut water has tons and tons of potassium, and is loaded with electrolytes to keep you hydrated. It’s perfect (I always have one after yoga) for after sports practice and because of the potassium will also help keep your muscles from cramping. I think must have gone through about a hundred cartons this summer!

  5. bear-naked.gif

    Bear Naked 100% Pure & Natural Grain-ola bars - These puppies come in Chocolaty Cherry, Tropical Fruit, and Fruit and Nut flavors and are made up of real, whole fruits, nuts and seeds, and Bear Naked’s yummy granola. They’re also super thin and small, so they’re ideal for throwing in your purse or backpack!

  6. blueberries.gif

    Organic Just Blueberries — These bad boys are exactly what the name implies - just organic blueberries! They’ve been freeze dried for non-squishing portability and they’re great alone or mixed into yogurt…or oatmeal…or really anything!

  7. quaker_oatmealtogo.gif

    Quaker Oatmeal to Go High Fiber - These maple brown sugar snack bars taste just as good as traditional oatmeal, only completely portable! Because of the added fiber, they’ll also help keep you feeling full and energized longer than regular granola bars. They’re a bit more high sugar than what I would usually go for, but they are a great treat!

  8. kashi-u.gif

    Kashi U - This wonder cereal features whole grain and sesame flakes, fruit clusters and walnuts in a yummy combo that supports the heart, bones, immunity, mind and digestion. Packing ingredients like black currants and acai berries, this blend is not only super tasty and loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber - the box is made of 80 percent post-consumer content with 100 percent biodegradable inks.

  9. Raw-Almonds.gif

    Almonds - It’s no secret that almonds are an ideal snack food. They’re loaded with healthy fats, full of vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium, and taste fantastic. Steer clear of the salted variety for maximum almondy yummyness and maximum health benefits!

  10. peeledsnacks.gif

    Peeled Snacks - Coming in portable single serving packs, these organic dried fruit snacks are super delish and totally healthy! I like the fruit and nut blends…yum!

I am a serious snacker. “Snack time” (which, to be honest, happens about four times a day) is my favorite time. But because I like to eat pretty much constantly, I seek out super healthy treats, and I think I’ve sniffed out some of the tastiest healthy snacks around. So, here is my list of top 10 favorite healthy snacky goodies!

Live Review: Jamie Cullum @ Matt & Phreds Jazz Bar

Jamie Cullum is a name I’m sure you’ve all heard more than once, so seeing him play to a intimate crowd of 100 people was quite humbling for a JC fan like myself.

Feeling somewhat cosy with the person stood next to me, I listened as Jamie explained that he used to play here often before he made it big in the music industry, so he was k…

Live Review: Funeral For A Friend

Funeral For A Friend are a band I’ve admired for a long time. They were one of the first bands to successfully popularise the “screamo” genre but luckily for them, unlike a lot of other bands from this genre, Funeral For A Friend have managed to evolve their sound into a more mature one, thus meaning they have forever kept themsel…
