Eating on the go doesn’t mean that you can’t eat healthy. Their are a lot of portable snacks that are healthy and quick to put together for us busy people. Fruit and vegetable are super portable, and quick to grab on the go! Apples, bananas, carrot sticks involve little or no preparation, and you can be out the door!
Trail mixes are also a healthy snack that you can put together quick!
Trail mixes are simple to put together! I like to use raw nuts, dried fruit, coconut, dark chocolate, and seeds! But, the best part is, you can really put whatever you like into the mix!
Cinco de Mayo is in a few days, and if you are still looking for a festive dish for the holiday, I have a great one to share!
These veggie tacos are a great light alternative to a regular taco, but they don’t lack in flavor! They taste incredible, and the slight sweetness of the roasted butternut squash gives it a unique flavor!
So, give these a try if you are looking for a fresh, light, and healthy Cinco de Mayo dish!
