Snacking has it's pros, and snacking has it's cons. Learning how to balance the two is key to learning how to snack right! Instead of eating that left over slice of pizza before dinner, imagine how many more your body will thank you if you replace that greasy, cheesy, carb overloaded slice with a healthier alternative. Best part? Healthy doesn't always mean boring. It may surprise you! Check out these 9 healthy snacks that will have you running back for more!

Celery & Hummus

This combo is the perfect summer snack! The crispy, nutrient packed celery pairs perfectly with the protein filled, mouth watering hummus.

Apples & Peanut Butter

I like to think of this one as the sweeter alternative to celery & hummus? Have a sweet tooth? Craving a sweeter snack? This one is perfect!

Greek Yogurt & Fruits

Feeling extra fancy? Top it off with some granola and dark chocolate chips. Delicious!

Oatmeal & Fruits

Now, I know what your thinking. Oatmeal? Gross. Here's a little secret. If you get creative with it, it has potential to become your favorite snack.

Baked Zucchini Chips

All I have to say is - wow.

Prepare a batch the night before and you'll be set for the rest of the week!

Trail mix

You can find trail mix at any supermarket, but if you feel like having some fun with it, you can even make your own! Combing a variety of nuts, dried fruit and dark chocolate is like candy but better.

Lettuce Wrap

Now this one comes with a ton of creative freedom! You can go as simple as wrapping a slice of turkey and cheese in lettuce, or some freshly cooked ground chicken/turkey topped with fresh veggies!

Green Smoothies

Again, green does not mean gross! There are a variety of yummy smoothies you can create in your own kitchen. My favorite? Apple, Kiwi, Kale and a touch of carrots. I promise it tastes amazing!

Traditional Greek Salad

I bet you had no idea that a traditional greek salad has no lettuce at all! It's only cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, olives, peppers, feta cheese and the traditional simple greek salad dressing! This is the perfect snack when you're in the mood for something light but filling. Double the portion, and you can turn it into a full meal!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
