My Fridge

If you don't keep a ton of junk food in your house, you won't always eat a ton of junk food.

Here's my fridge. I'm not saying everything I have is healthy, but I do my best to always keep it stocked with low calorie or healthy options for meals when I don't feel like getting to the dining hall or for study snacks.

1- Kashi GOLEAN Crisp! Cereal  - This has become a favorite for me. I like the Cinnamon and Berry flavors. They are packed with protein, helping you feel full longer.
2- 100% Whey Protein - Yum. This brand is really good, the chocolate tastes good and isn't chalky like a lot of protein powders. I normally only use protein for post-workout, but I also have made up a recipe for a homemade protein bar that I use it for as well. (stay tuned for that recipe :)
3- Bolthouse Farms fruit smoothie drinks - I got hooked on the Naked Juice drinks, but those are pretty pricey. Bolthouse Farms is a good alternative brand that doesn't cost as much, and besides being a bit thicker, doesn't taste too much different.
4- Greek Yogurt - Don't knock it before you try it. Trust me. I hate yogurt, but this has become a favorite for me. A coworker had me try it mixed with honey and Kashi cereal. There's so much protein packed in that one cup, it keeps me full for at least a few hours.
5- Tortillas and cheese - cheese rollups for an afternoon snack.
6- Fresh fruit
7- 5 hour energy - Welcome to being a college student.
8- Fat Free Cool Whip - put this on graham crackers and freeze it - awesome ice cream sandwich alternative.
9- Applesauce and Fruit Cups - I go with the natural unsweeted cinnamon applesauce, and make sure your fruit cups aren't loaded with sugary syrups.
10- Celery - "They" say you're more likely to eat the vegetables you have raw if they're pre-cut... it's worked for me!
11- Salsa - Low calorie and good for you! Be careful with the chips you get. While whole grain and multigrain are both better options, whole grain is the better of the two.

This is just a short list of the things I have on hand now. In the future I plan to post a really long list of healthy/low-calorie snacks for my readers to print out and keep on hand.

So, what about you? What do you keep on hand to snack on? Comment below, Direct message me, Facebook me, Tweet me, Pin Me! :)
