If you're like me, you absolutely LOVE food. And again, if you're like me, you don't necessarily eat the healthiest snacks in the world because, let's face it, they aren't as fun as those chocolate chip cookies or the mac and cheese with *extra* cheese. Here's a list of my favorite snacks that are as delicious as they are healthy!

1. Smoothies!

I love a good smoothie on my way to class or work in the morning. Super quick and super easy to make! (Pina-Colada is my favorite!)

2. Avocado Fries

Avocado + fries. Need I say more?

3. Oatmeal Bites

They taste just as good as cookies, and you feel less guilty after eating 6 or so!

  • Recipe:
  • 1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I use old-fashioned oats)
  • 2/3 cup toasted coconut flakes.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter.
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seed.
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips)
  • 1/3 cup honey or agave nectar.
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

    • 4. Chocolate Pineapple Slices

    Who doesn't love a little bit of chocolate?

    5. Cinnamon Banana Bites

    With only 73 calories per serving, this snack is incredibly healthy and just as binge-worthy as Friends!

    Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

    Or at least try to do.

    New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

    1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

    Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

    And so it begins.

    1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

    Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
