Eat this when the cravings hit #healthyrecipes

Snacking too often can lead to an excess of calories which can often become the main culprit of weight gain or trouble losing weight even when you are consistent with your workouts…<br />
<br />
But just because you have a goal doesn’t mean your snacking habit is going to disappear into thin air. <br />
<br />
When those cravings come on, here are some low calorie options I reach for that help replace a craving I feel coming on.<br />
<br />
1. 🥢Kimchi - I really love spicy kimchi, and it’s great for my gut (for those who don’t know what it is, it’s a Korean dish of fermented veggies, usually cabbage)<br />
<br />
2. 🍓Strawberries & cream - if you have a sweet tooth like me, you’ll appreciate this one 😍 it’s so yummy and easy to have these two ingredients in your fridge. Quarter 2-3 strawberries and top with whipped cream<br />
<br />
3. 🫖Tea is my go to. Sometimes when I turn to snacking I realize (after I’ve eaten) that it was a learned emotional trigger - instead of being hungry I was just stressed, upset or anxious. Making a tea when a snack craving comes one helps me slow down a bit and evaluate if I need to make a full meal, if I’m being emotional, or if I really just want a nice snack.<br />
Tea just feels so good too I like one in the morning (usually a green tea) then one in the afternoon (an herbal tea). <br />

Save this short for the next time you’re feeling snacky and need a lower calorie alternative to what you would naturally reach for.
