Healthy Eating Made Easy!

Opt out of snacking on pizza and candy when you’re craving something satisfying during a late-night study sesh and try one of these ready- to- eat snacks!

1. Fruit

Fruits are simple and easy when it comes to snacking; they have a lot of sugar to satisfy a craving and enough fiber to keep you full. Bonus- buy fruit to keep in your freezer, it’s great for snacking on when you’re craving something cold and sweet (like ice cream!). I keep a Nutribullet in my room or when I have extra time to make myself a smoothie or natural fruit-based “ice cream”.

2. Bars

If you’re looking for something sweet and protein rich go for a Quest bar! They average about 180 calories each with 20g or protein and barely any sugar! However, if you are going for something unprocessed I suggest trying a Larabar, they are made with fewer than 5 ingredients and curb any late-night cravings!

3. Oatmeal

The best thing I have ever done for myself was to buy a giant bag 2 pound of rolled oats to bring with me to college (okay maybe that’s not my greatest idea but it is definitely up there). Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks- oatmeal is great any time of day. It is versatile enough to be sweet or savory. Throw in some chia seeds, nuts or fruits and you’re good-to-go.

4. Air-Popped Popcorn

Possibly my favorite snack is popcorn sprinkled with cinnamon- if you are more into spicy try it with some cayenne and fresh squeezed lime.

5. Carrots and Baby Peppers

Dip these in Hummus or eat them on their own and you are good to go!

Enjoy!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
