snack suggestions
i have been eating and drinking like im supposto and have been snacking on a few almonds baby bell cheese string cheese and some beef jerkey. Does anyone have any other suggestions to snacks that are easy, and how bout soups for the winter every can soup ive looked at has way to many carbsand little protein,any advice would be great thanks
I just got Ostrim sticks off of amazon and they are the bomb! They are like a slimjim but made of ostrich and beef. The are high protein/low carb and 80 cals per stick. One stick is a perfect snack for me at 4 months out. I keep them in my bag and they don't need to be refridgertated. Less sodium than beef jerky. I haven't tried almonds yet because the calories intimidate me! I struggle with snacks too. I also LOVE sabra red pepper hummus with celery.
I buy those mini cucumbers at Costco and slice about 4 of them into quarters. Then I squeeze some fresh lime juice and grind some sea salt on them. The are crunchy and delicious, have some fiber in them and really, really low cal. They come in a package with about 20 cucumbers inside. Yummy.

As far as winter soups, Sunday I threw some browned ground turkey & onions into a crock pot with a can of northern beans and a can of oregano, basil & garlic diced tomatoes with some seasonings and it made the best soup! I can see where it would be good to add some kale or swiss chard and fresh parmesan to it also! I have been eating on it all week long and still not tired of it.
