Hey There Health Beet Listener!
Today on the podcast, Peter and I share 9 foods that are good for you and perfect for munching on when working late. They’re much more ideal than opening a bag of chips…
Put the potato chips down:)
All these options are healthy, because they’re made from whole foods, they are vegan, some raw, and all gluten-free (double check labels as ingredients differ from brand to brand).
If you pick from the snacks we cover in this show, instead of using “borrowed” energy (think coffee, sugar, processed foods) you’ll be using sustainable energy (think nutrients that come from fruits & vegetables) – you’ll also avoid an energy crash and unwanted weight gain!

EPISODE OVERVIEW
Peter and I dread being at the grocery store when in need of a snack, because usually processed foods win. But when you’re snacking at home, you have the luxury of whipping up something healthy, like some popcorn or protein balls. Both of which take 5 minutes to make. Or pick up some hummus from the store and pair it with some crispy vegetables.
And like I said in the show, hummus is getting pretty creative with their flavors these days! Dark Chocolate Hummus & Kale Pesto Hummus… #sendallthehummusourway
Snack #1 – Vegetables & Hummus
Our Favorite Hummus brands: Hope, Majestics Hummus
Snack #2 – Apple & Nut Butter
Nut & Seed Butter to try: Nuttzo
Snack #3 – Grain Free Muffins
Snack #4 – Homemade Trail Mix
Snack #5 – Green Juice
Snack #6 – Kombucha

Snack #7 – Homemade Popcorn
1-2 Tbsp. organic corn kernels, 1-2 tsp. coconut oil. Turn stove top to medium high, heat oil and add corn in a medium pan, cover pan and gently shake for about 1.5 – 2 minutes, popping will slow down. Season with sea salt.
Snack #8 – Dark Chocolate (70% or higher)
Our Favorite Brands: Equal Exchange, Theo, Endangered Species
Snack #9 – Protein Balls
Easy Chocolate Ball Recipe: 1/4 cup raw walnuts, 1/4 cup raw almonds, 3 Tbsp. cacao powder, 6 soft dates (pitted), 1 dash sea salt, 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Place nuts in the food processor and process until broken up, add remaining ingredients until mixture sticks together, you should be able to roll them up into a ball. If mixture is still dry, add a little almond milk, oil, or more dates. Feel free to roll them in hemp seeds, coconut flakes or eat them as they are.
No Food Processor… no problem try this recipe
