Snack Time to Lunch Time

I’ve previously said I enjoy eating mini-meals throughout the day, but I realized I typically only post my three “main meals” which are basically the meals I eat at normal breakfast, lunch and dinner times.

This keeps my blog load down so I don’t get too overwhelmed, but today I did snap a pic of my 11 a.m. mini-meal.

Fruity Greek Goodness

I topped a plain Chobani Greek yogurt cup with freshly sliced strawberries and a cup of Dole no sugar added Mandarin orange slices.

Big, Fat Strawberries

Close Up

This helped tide me over until lunchtime when I warmed up a Joseph’s pita and stuffed it with homemade tuna salad and fresh spinach.

Tuna Salad with Celery

To make the tuna salad, I combined a can of tuna with a big squirt of light mayo, a little squirt of mustard, a scoop of relish and lots of chopped celery. The celery made it taste like the tuna salad you might get at a deli, which I just loved!

Tuna and Spinach Pita

Stuffed!

I loved this lunch. The Joseph’s pita is the perfect size for stuffing but isn’t so thick that it takes away from the flavor of the goodies inside.

Snack Time Ain’t Just for Kindergartners

I am a constant snacker. I eat throughout the day mainly because I love food and can’t stand only eating three meals daily. I get too excited about my snacks to eliminate my mid-morning and afternoon snack from my food regimen.

My post-breakfast snack yesterday was one of my favorites to date.

I started with a cup of Oikos organic honey Greek yogurt (first time trying this flavor thanks to the wonderful coupons Stonyfield Farm sent to me – thank you!).

Me and one of my all-time favorites... Greek yogurt!

In keeping with the honey theme, I packed a small box of Kashi honey sunshine cereal to add on top of the yogurt.

Aw Honey, Honey

I didn’t realize the honey was at the bottom of the yogurt cup until I opened it up and began stirring. Those people over at Oikos are generous with their honey!

Lots o' Honey

I couldn’t resist trying a bite before topping the yogurt with the cereal.

I typically enjoy plain Greek yogurt topped with various goodies, but OH WOW this honey yogurt was phenomenal… thick, creamy and sweet… it tasted like an indulgent dessert.

Honey Sunshine Cereal and Honey Greek Yogurt

This combination was unbelievable. I am a huge honey fan, so this snack hit my honey-lovin’ spot.

There was too much cereal to fit into the cup, so I ate some and stirred the rest in, topping the yogurt again with another sprinkle of the honey sunshine puffs.

Sweet and Creamy

Mmmm!

Snack time is one of my favorite times of the day!

Some of my favorite snacks include:

–  Greek yogurt topped with basically anything

– My protein brownie

– Whole wheat tortilla and light cheese melted together (quesadilla-style!)

– Apple with nut butter (or just a simple peanut butter finger will do ;))

– Protein/cereal bar of some sort

– Fresh fruit and a handful of nuts
