With less than 2 months remaining until Memorial Day and the start of Summer, many of us are starting to get to the gym and boot camp in Monmouth County.  Many of us are also starting to focus in on our diets a bit more seriously to get ready for our bathing suits and beach attire. 

One question I get all of the time is “What should I eat for snacks if I am hungry for something sweet?”  So, today I will answer that question for you.

1. Greek Yogurt with Blueberries.  Greek yogurt is a great pudding-like consistency that has a good amount of healthy protein and is pretty low in calories.  Toss in some blueberries (or any kind of berry) for sweetness and healthy antioxidants.  You can also feel free to toss in some walnuts for a little extra protein.  Stir and eat.

2. Trail Mix/Gorp.

I will be honest.  I had never heard of gorp until just recently..and am still skeptical if this is really the name of this mixture.  In Ohio, we always called this trail mix, but call it what you like.  This is a mix of nuts, seeds, craisins, dark chocolate bits, etc.  I like to put unsalted cashews, walnuts, sunflower seeds, craisins and a few tiny bits of dark chocolate in a large tupperware and scoop out a half cup for dessert.  Just be careful!  This can get addicting, so it is important to scoop out a small cup and cover it back up and walk away.

If you are looking for weight loss in Monmouth County but are short on time, you are going to want to check out the new class we have coming very soon. A quick, 30 minute, fat shredding workout that meets 3 times per week.  Look for the email coming soon!
