Healthy Snack!

Iv been trying to eat healthy and work out, because I'm not going to lie, I am probably one of the most unhealthy people. I don't plan meals ahead so usually eat junk food to keep me going because junk food is the most accessible food, but a lot of the time it doesn't keep me full very long!

So iv decided to look up some healthy snack recipes to make in advance, to take to college or just when I'm out and about.

The first think I decided to make was some protein balls which literally take about ten minutes to make and you don't have to bake them, also there are plenty of things you can add to vary the recipe! These snacks are also full of protein and fibre.

Protein Balls and stars!

So I decided to make some stars (which adds to the time, but I did have the time) but then I got bored making the stars so I went back to balls!

Here's the recipe:
1 cup of oats
1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1/4 cup of honey
Those are the basic ingredient's, try to find 100% peanut butter or as close as you can get without any added extras! When I made mine I used 2 tablespoons of chocolate hazelnut spread, which I know goes against healthy but, when I made these I didn't have any cocoa powder and it was late at night when I made these so I couldn't go and buy any!

Like I said before there are also lots of additional things you can add:
Protein power (I added half a cup of vanilla powder)
chocolate chips
honey comb
nutella
coconut flakes
seeds
dried fruit
nuts and plenty more!

I know that not all of them are healthy but what iv learnt from trying to eat healthy is that if you try to completely put a stop to something or try to change the routine all at once you are more likely to slip up, so if you add these things its okay if you do it in moderation!

My brother got home from the gym after I had finished making them and was the first to try the recipe and he loved them, he says they are like snickers but healthier and easier to eat.

I will be uploading more healthy treats soon as well as well what I do to work out and keep fit, I'm not saying these are the perfect ways to stay healthy or the best ways to do them, but I thought I would put up my tips and advice!
