When you are craving unhealthy snacks, food swaps can help you beat the craving without indulging or overeating. Candy, lattes, chips, or ice cream, any chance you’re craving those? We all do have those cravings from time to time! Knowing how to avoid the indulgence is what counts. I’ve created a list of easy food swaps so you can control those unruly cravings! </span></span></div><b id="docs-internal-guid-ff0aba20-1bcc-88c0-fe75-7687391e03a4" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Candy</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first food swap is for candy, chocolate and fruity chews! Make these delicious snacks at home and ignore the candy options at the checkout.</span></span></div><ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Chocolate Candy</span></span></div></li> </ul><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For chocolate candy cravings, treat yourself to dark chocolate covered almonds. They are easy to make at home, but you can also purchase them in most all grocery stores. For this food swap make sure that the almonds are covered in dark chocolate. Milk chocolate is packed with sugar and doesn’t have the same nutritional value and dark chocolate! Dark chocolate is a great food swap for chocolate candy because it is packed with antioxidants. The almonds will help you feel full more quickly, so you will be less likely to overeat. </span></span></div><ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sweet Fruity Treats</span></span></div></li> </ul><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sometimes fruity sugar candies look so delicious. Avoid them entirely. They are just sugar. They’re bad for your teeth, your gut, your health, and you energy! Food swap these candies for frozen grapes. Grapes will ease your sweet tooth, without all of the fake sugars and preservatives. </span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">White Bread</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Food swap all white bread for whole wheat bread. This means swap tortillas, sandwich bread, buns, and any other source of refined grains. This will add protein and fiber to your diet! It will help you feel full. White bread and other refined grains are loaded with hidden sugars and will only make you feel hungrier in the long run. </span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lettuce</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While romaine lettuce contains nutritional value, you can food swap it for kale or spinach. Spinach and kale contain more vitamins and micronutrients per serving. They truly are superfoods, and they will still taste great in your salads!</span></span></div><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> </span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Potatoes</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Food swap your regular starchy Idaho potatoes for nutrient-dense sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes contain a healthy amount of vitamin A and taste great!

It’s so easy to overindulge.  Food swap store bought ice cream for homemade “banana ice cream.” You need a food processor, frozen banana chunks, and any toppings you desire. I like to add natural peanut butter and dark chocolate chips. Combine frozen banana chunks and peanut butter in your food processor and pulse until the texture resembles that of ice cream! Then add the chocolate chips!</span></span></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> <span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I hope you find these food swaps to be helpful in resisting unhealthy cravings!

Healthy Food Swaps for Unhealthy Snacks

Lifestyle changes are hard, but food swaps can help. When you are craving unhealthy snacks, food swaps can help you beat the craving without...

Clean snack and lunch ideas that give you FUEL

<div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Great pre-cardio snack..especially with some Energy & Endurance drink! This is my favorite HEALTHY bread - Cinnamon Raisin Ezekiel bread! 100% sprouted whole grains. Look for it in your FREEZER section; sometimes near frozen health/organic/vegan frozen foods. It's low on the glycemic index, so it's a great little carb if you only have 30-60min before your workout (studies have shown eating something low on the glycemic index pre-workout will help you burn more fat). Shakeology of course is low glycemic index too & gives you energy, but I usually like my Shakeology in the evening. This has light Smart Balance w/Flax spread here, but i also love it with Chocolate PB2!! (i know, probably sounds like a weird combo w/Cin Raisin!) If you need more calories because you're caloric needs are higher or it's 2-3 hrs before your workout, then do 2 pieces or add natural Peanut Butter.. and/or Banana slices! Thumbs up on this one??</span></span></div> <br> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> </span><br> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"></span><br> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"></span><br> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjipXFkw9jJxxZvtqmT9wjxtxsr7OGZw_Dcuk9Nf-BsD9wkzpJBF8ODz6NhuFsxqEspsgPudO8FuzdvpprKG8fKiUL42OWH8PBCmCaJSNyPs1ox-P6n3RA31MfcsSNPiOYd1fbolwgDDROy/s1600/Heart-shaped-toast-with-an-egg-in-it-for-Valentines-Day-with-Ezekiel-bread.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjipXFkw9jJxxZvtqmT9wjxtxsr7OGZw_Dcuk9Nf-BsD9wkzpJBF8ODz6NhuFsxqEspsgPudO8FuzdvpprKG8fKiUL42OWH8PBCmCaJSNyPs1ox-P6n3RA31MfcsSNPiOYd1fbolwgDDROy/s640/Heart-shaped-toast-with-an-egg-in-it-for-Valentines-Day-with-Ezekiel-bread.jpg" width="640"></a></div> </span><br></div> <br> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br> </span></div> <br> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://myshakeology.com/alyssaschomaker" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Peanut Butter Chocolate Shakeology</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"> with Peanut Butter and Banana! whipped cream for presentation purposes ;)</span></span></div> <br> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> </span></div> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1D_xiVJ17VS-cwKBWbrkriiObFmdKWdceGiCXKx2OXFuCsz5tCETKs7vQulsfA2t0JEdYBnApOks-5DD6O0ff7k5Jc7CvUQjoQJt8EZcvlSPeGV9ptyBXyt8lTBCATKlK9LumNyBvbNy/s1600/peanut-butter-banana-chocolate-smoothies-oh-l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1D_xiVJ17VS-cwKBWbrkriiObFmdKWdceGiCXKx2OXFuCsz5tCETKs7vQulsfA2t0JEdYBnApOks-5DD6O0ff7k5Jc7CvUQjoQJt8EZcvlSPeGV9ptyBXyt8lTBCATKlK9LumNyBvbNy/s1600/peanut-butter-banana-chocolate-smoothies-oh-l.jpg"></a></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br> </span></div> <br> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">LUNCH!! It's ~250-300 calories depending on how much hummus, feta &  tomatoes you use. I used the new 100-calorie whole grain pita pockets they sell now (at least by us), reduced fat feta,  tomatoes, Hummus, cucumbers, red & yellow pepper slices, sprouts & spring mix! I love sun dried tomatoes in this too!! If you skip the sun-dried tomatoes, you could do two halves for a total of 400 calories and lots of good nutrition! But i just love ♥ sun-dried tomatoes!

Sure, some of it says "reduced/low fat" or "good source of whole grains" or "no trans fat" and you're thinking "how bad could it really be?".. well i'm NOT a nutritionist & i'm not perfect, but I know we don't need this. I personally go OFF TRACK when i have any of this in the house. Do you know what ONE serving looks like? For 150cal snack, you'd be SO muc</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">h better off with an apple + PB2. With healthy foods, you get all the "good carbs" you need, this stuff just goes STRAIGHT to excess calories stored as FAT ..for me anyway. I admit we buy some of the pre-portioned 100-calorie pack crap to have on hand for my boys or when we have kids over, but we continue to work towards improvement for that too, finding new HEALTHIER kid-friendly foods. At the very least we can control portions & frequency, and work towards educating & developing a taste for healthier stuff. I think TRANSITIONING your family & kids in a way that they hardly notice is KEY! Can you hide, or throw it away, if you have any of this??</span></span> </span></div> <br> <br> <div style="text-align: left;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtosQT-QcC4Sei-_9QObsH2qJogA-V4HU-RubcauF50r51w7xwOEQ-LYP2Fe90mTunrxx65CRMoTq8XSzdQAqZjN-RR7lzbTUZP_EhBP4-dlPF6wDhhMl3hcdn0Km-rAgIEn3DZaGOdir/s1600/shakeology-tropical-300x250.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtosQT-QcC4Sei-_9QObsH2qJogA-V4HU-RubcauF50r51w7xwOEQ-LYP2Fe90mTunrxx65CRMoTq8XSzdQAqZjN-RR7lzbTUZP_EhBP4-dlPF6wDhhMl3hcdn0Km-rAgIEn3DZaGOdir/s1600/shakeology-tropical-300x250.jpg"></a></div> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Our  </span><a href="http://myshakeology.com/alyssaschomaker" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tropical Vegan Shakeology</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"> is another fabulous go to snack! This is what I put in it and it was DELISHHHH ..not gritty at all ..at least the way i made it! ~1 Cup Ice, 1 Cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk, ~1Cup Water, 1 Cup frozen Raspberries, 2 Tablespoons Chocolate PB2, and 1/2 Banana! Btw, I've always heard FROZEN fruit is actually more nutritious than fresh.. true?</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div> <br> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj02Sq6iy8WPh1s8q1QWfLzhA_2HKB1RBhM3VbUb2GywvYrWwbh6cyaLmV_VzIq4Cnt3DZyajYDhu57R0Ib73-KQvd40W3Aq2lgnVLxjWHpyWqOvfurCPibkldP3HKASO4a5AId0H14YDpv/s1600/Chicken-Avocado-Wraps-smaller.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj02Sq6iy8WPh1s8q1QWfLzhA_2HKB1RBhM3VbUb2GywvYrWwbh6cyaLmV_VzIq4Cnt3DZyajYDhu57R0Ib73-KQvd40W3Aq2lgnVLxjWHpyWqOvfurCPibkldP3HKASO4a5AId0H14YDpv/s320/Chicken-Avocado-Wraps-smaller.jpg" width="320"></a></div> <br> <div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br> </span></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Wheat tortilla filled w/ grilled chicken, Gouda cheese (YUMM!), Avocado & tomatoes!

If you are constantly mad at yourself for what you eat/drink on a weekend, make a decision NOW to do things differently. Just promise me you won't start skipping meals. SHORT-TERM that may work to make the scale move (due to lost water weight and lost muscle) but it will backfire on you! You NEED to keep and feed that muscle.. we all lose muscle as we age unless you're doing things to KEEP IT and build more. </span></span><br> <br> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So focus on your goals!
