Weekly Roundup Healthy Meals: Simple Snacks Edition - Grit Daily

Working on building a healthy lifestyle and coming up with healthy food ideas can be difficult for anyone. Yes, it may be a challenge, but in life all things come with a challenge. Eating healthy can always seem like a stressful and unpleasant thing, but I only think that’s the case when you let it be.

Don’t let your mind take over and present to you those unhappy thoughts about eating healthy, filter those negative thoughts out. Think about in the long run and how once you maintain this habit, it will be something that you can quickly put into your day to day routine.

Instead of making this a daunting thing lets create a good practice and making healthy dishes fun just like we enjoy making brownies or cookies lets take that same motive and apply it to make a healthy meal.

So, here are some simple, healthy food ideas that won’t scare you away but have you wanting to whip up some more healthy creations and add them to your recipe book. Some of these meals are things that I’ve created and meals that I’ve found online and modified to my needs. So, if you ever want to change something, please feel free to change or add something to fit your taste.

These are just going to be simple, quick, and easy snacks that you can put together when your hungry but don’t want to make a full feast for yourself. These recipes are quick and easy, as well as delicious, and can last you throughout the week as well.

Once that is fully cooked through, you are going to dump your cooked contents in a bowl and add the Greek Yogurt.
