Quick Snacks for Toddlers

Nov 1 |00:00

Ham and Cheese Crackers

Cut up some pieces of ham and cheese and serve them with some crackers. If you want to make it fun, use a cookie cutter to cut fun shapes out of the cheese.

Fruit Dip

Caution, this can get a little messy!
Cut up some fruit in bite size chunks and serve with a small bowl of yogurt. Encourage your toddler to dip the fruit in the yogurt. This is an easy way to get your toddler to eat a serving of fruit, while also getting some extra calcium and protein in his/her diet from the yogurt.

Low Sugar Cereal

I always keep a box of low sugar cereal like cheerios in my pantry. They make a great snack with a little milk, or even just a bowl of dry cereal. Dry cereal also makes a great take-along snack. Just throw a serving in a Ziploc bag and toss it in your purse.

Veggies and Dip

Keep some cut up veggies in the fridge. Small pieces of carrot, peeled cucumber, celery as well as small sections of broccoli and cauliflower all make great finger food for toddlers

Healthy Snack Options for Rapid Fat Loss

MMM Healthy never tasted so good!As a fitness expert people always ask me, “What snacks can I eat that will help me lose ‘this’?” When they say “this” they are pointing to some part of their body that has a bit too much fat for their liking.

Now I think some people are waiting for me to say, “Oh, don’t worry, you can eat cookies, chips and candy all you want. Everyone has been lying to you. They actually make you thinner!”

Seriously, people really do want me to tell them what they WANT to hear.

But, fortunately, some people are serious when they ask that question. They really do want to know some healthy snack options for rapid fat loss.

So here’s what I tell them:

Raw almonds, walnuts or pecans (Not the roasted variety. And don’t even think about the ones with sugar sprinkled on them!)

Fruit or veggies cut up into sticks (Stay away from dipping them into things you know you shouldn’t)

Hard boiled eggs

Low-fat cottage cheese

Hummus

Those are all great options. But if you really want to treat yourself you’ve gotta check out Prograde Cravers. You can find them here http://murray.getprograde.com/cravers

They’re made with 100% organic dark chocolate. Plus, they’re only 180 calories and they’re out-of-this-world delicious.

Seriously, this isn’t your ordinary “tastes like chemicals or cardboard’ nutritional bar.

Definitely check them out.

Yours in health,

Murray Middlemost

PS – It’s best if you choose a variety of foods from the above list. But please realize, you CANNOT find Prograde Cravers in stores anywhere. They’re only available through fitness pros such as myself. http://murray.getprograde.com/cravers

Dumbest ‘Slimming’ Snack Advice Ever

It’s no wonder people are so overweight. It’s no wonder people don’t have the flat stomach they crave.

With TV commercials as misleading as they are it’s really no shock whatsoever.

You’re inundated with crummy information and myths every time you turn on the TV.

A while back they were running a commercial for some silly Rice Puff product. It was in an office setting and someone had brought in cupcakes for everyone to enjoy.

One woman looked worried she was going to ruin her “diet” because of the temptation and decided to “fill up” on a Rice Puff product.

Come on. You’re smarter than that. You know darn well that a rice puff thingy is going to fill you up and stop you from stuffing your face.

For one thing, you need to expect these situations to arise. Whether you want six pack abs or just want to get to a perfectly healthy weight, you have to have a plan for temptation.

Second, that means you need to plan meals so you aren’t completely starving when someone brings cupcakes to your office or something.

You know you need to eat small, frequent and nutritious meals if you really want to achieve fat loss.

Third, if you are looking for a great tasting healthy snack that fulfills your love of chocolate then look no further.

Prograde Cravers are just what the fitness pro ordered.

( Check them out here: http://murray.getprograde.com/cravers )

Cravers are only 180 calories and they are made with 100% organic dark chocolate. They are completely delicious and they are the perfect snack for busy people on the go.

They even come in three flavors. Personally, I love the Almond

Anyway, don’t buy the hype on TV. You know better than that.

Yours in health,

Murray
