TGIF: Cookie or Nuts?

Happy Friday everyone! One month away from St. Patrick's day and we all know that means a break in our healthy eating, lots of drinking, and celebrating with friends. So, how do we keep up our healthy eating before we go all crazy for a weekend? Not to mention all the chocolate we ate yesterday! Easy, nuts. You heard me. Every afternoon around 3ish, while you at work/class/studying, eat a handful of nuts. I typically eat almonds because they are healthier than most nuts, but any will do. Nuts typically will keep you full till dinner and it also fulfills the salty-sugar-crunchy snack craving we all get after lunch. They also have plenty of good health benefits, which you can find if you look it up online. Happy Snacking!
