Snacks- the Easy Healthy Way to improve your diet

 


Hey there! I don't know about you but I'm a snacker and my kids love snacks too. I'm sure your kids or grandkids do too! I'm just going to make this a quick one with more photos and short descriptions!

Today, I'd like to share with you some of our staple snacks at the Techau house! I've got 5 options for you! Granted- my kids eat unhealthy snacks too. You've probably seen my daughter organizing our pantry with not so healthy snacks on my Facebook story haha! But as much as we can we like to eat healthy and I truly believe your snack options can improve your health and diet. 

I know many people like to fast, but I think feeding your body healthy fuel helps you get the best results. 

Okay, here are some options and our favorites:
Snack 1:


This veggie tray comes from Kroger and I love that its organic. My kids love when I open this up and leave it out for them to snack on after school or when we get back from the pool! They love that it has the ranch for dipping! :) 

Snack 2:


My kids love these Nutella packs with pretzels! We can't buy the bread sticks ones (they have to be the pretzel) haha! My sweet Aria says that! 
If you are diabetic you may want to check the sugar content on this snack- it may not be for you :)

Sometimes it's hard to find these because they honestly are so yummy and sell out quickly!

Snack 3:



Okay- next is the yummy guacamole! If you can find a good avocado then this is just so easy to make! Mush up an avacado, add lime juice to your liking( we add just a bit) and a little bit of garlic salt. Waaaaa Laaaa
Avocado is so filling and such a great fat! 

Below is a picture when the kids and I were in Texas and we were snacking on guacamole, salsa and chips!
( I thought this picture was a good one because we will be going back to Texas soon for my kids fall break and they have some good tastin' guac!!!)


 
I also wanted to share with you these chips that my kids love as well! 


Snack 4:


A huge favorite is this one! Mini cucumbers with ranch dressing! I love putting these in these containers with these reusable silicone baking cups! It helps it to not be so messy! Once it's closed, the ranch stays contained in the silicone cup too! 
Link to order the containers and the baking cups from Amazon below!

Here is what the bag looks like of the mini cucumbers:

Snack 5: 


These crackers are so delish and can be found at most grocery stores! I love the simple mills brand! 



Alright, I hope I gave you some tasty snack options that maybe you didn't know or think about! 

Have a great day and thanks for checking out my blog posts. 
I really enjoy writing out my thoughts and feelings! 

XOXO,

Shanda Rhea

 Hey there! As I sit here and write this, my sweet kiddos just left to go to their dads for Christmas and will be there until school starts back in January. I'm looking forward to seeing them soon, but have plenty to do to keep me busy. :) Oh my, this blog post has been a long time coming... Ever since I wrote the blog post about Touching lives and technology, this stuff I'm about to say has been on my mind.  Before I get to that, I'd like to tell you what we've been up to recently though...  As you may know from my LIVE video, I am transitioning back to a stay at home mom. I really enjoy being a stay at home mom and understand it's not for everyone, but recently I've been able to be part of the kids Christmas events at school and it makes me so happy inside. I can't wait to get back to volunteering at their school. Aria asks me all the time, "Mommy- when are you going to be a hot lunch helper again?" :)  Here's some pictures from Aria and Geor...

Hey there! Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! What did you all get into?  My kids and I have had an awesome weekend and you could probably tell that we went to the University of Kentucky football game! Shew that was an interesting night with all the delays! But glad everyone is safe from all the lightening!  We've done a lot of laying around and cuddling this weekend too!  But hey I wanted to show you a new bathing suit I got for our trip to San Antonio Hill Country! We leave in less than 30 days! I just can't tell you how excited my kids are for this trip!  I think it's a perfect suit to match bathing suits with the kids on our trip( You all know I love the matching stuff ) :) So be on the lookout for us to match at the Hill Country soon!  Alright...

Hey there! Good morning! I couldn't go back to sleep when I woke up this morning so I thought I'd write this. Oh goodness it's early! I am getting ready to head into the dental office. My first patient is at 7:00 A.M. Up and at 'em!   I'm filling in a few days for my good friend and hygienist, Stacy this summa, so she can be present with her 3 kids. In her dental operatory she has the cutest photo frame that her kid(s) made her! It says on the frame that she is the best mom ever with a picture of her three kids. So precious.  Thanks Beaumont Family Dentistry for allowing us to do what we do and be mommas. I know not all can take time off but I love how others can work together to make things happen.  On another note- this rain has got to GO here in KY(haha) Under my deck & Trampoline it's so muddy and my dog choses to just roll in it all the time!  Okay, lets get to the point of this blog title! I truly think there are 5 secrets to a beautiful smile and that...
