Body & Mind Cleanse, Day #2 – How to deal with the munchies!

cleaneating, cleanse, detox, easycooking, healthyliving

The most challenging part of my cleanses isn’t planning my meals… it’s deciding what snacks to fill the gaps in between! I’ve always been a grazer when it comes to eating, several small portions spread throughout the day.  I like my savory and salty snacks, my crunchy munchies, and of course my sweets.  But what’s there to snack on besides raw foods when you’re on a cleanse? Once again, Pinterest has come to my rescue!

~~~>> Here are a few of my favorite homemade goodies:

Coconut Cream Larabars

Flourless Peanut Butter Muffins (can sub almond butter)

Honey Peanut Butter Protein Energy Balls

Peanut Butter Dip (can sub almond butter, great with fresh fruit!)

Oatmeal Banana Dark Chocolate Cookies

-Veggies & Hummus

-Cucumber salad (lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, chili powder, maybe add onion and tomato!)

-Baked Garbanzo Beans (400degrees for 30min, shake halfway through… be creative and have fun with your spice cabinet! Honey Cinnamon, Ranch, Garlic & Onion…)

The list can go on! I hope this offers a solution to the crave factor.  I find that I not only eat these foods when on a detox, but they’re still yummy any day of the week.  You can make these satisfying substitutions and before your know it, you’re looking and feeling the benefits of healthy eating :]
