About once every two months, I get the strong urge to eat the healthiest food I can find. This usually occurs after excessive running, TV watching, or swimsuit shopping. So on these rare occasions, I search the fridge for asparagus, broccoli, or green peas. I don’t normally consume deeply green vegetables, but when my taste buds aren’t feeling particularly articulate, I endure a bowl for my health’s sake.

                If you ever get this urge, don’t fight it! Search your fridge and pantry for these super healthy (but a little lacking in the taste department) snacks!

• Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• Snow peas
• Kashi granola bar
• Plain almonds
• Unsalted and unbuttered popcorn
• Steamed asparagus
• Kale chips
• Seaweed snacks
• Fruit

If you don’t have an extended selection, always opt for fruits and vegetables. Also, don’t add butter or sugar…that’s cheating! Good luck and stay healthy!
