10 Easy Clean Eating Snacks

We try to eat as clean as we can in our house because we like the way we feel when we do!  Snacking however is one of those things that can be a struggle since it's so easy to reach for stuff that's processed and unhealthy.  

Here are 10 healthy snack ideas:

1.  Sliced Apples and Peanut Butter (or almond butter... or whatever nut butter of your choice)

2. Greek yogurt with fruit and honey

3. Veggies and hummus

4. Fresh fruit

5. A Piece of toast with peanut butter and sliced banana

6. Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie:  To Make this I blend 1 cup of Unsweetened Almond Milk, 1 Banana, 1/4 cup peanut flour, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, and 3 ice cubes... YUM!

7.  Handful of Almonds

8.  Cottage Cheese with fruit

9. Strawberry Banana Lemonade Smoothie: To make this I blend 1 cup water, 1 banana, a small handful of frozen strawberries, and the flesh and juice of half a lemon... YUM!  I also love adding some fresh mint leaves to this when I have some around.

10.  Did I mention fresh fruit??!  This is my favorite because there are literally tons of options out there... right now we are loving tangelos, pineapple, bananas, and berries.

Eating healthy doesn't have to be hard!

Yellow Chic

I LOVE chambray shirts.  I have 3 different ones in my wardrobe and they get LOTS of wear.

For this look I tucked a dark wash chambray shirt into a funky pencil skirt, added some fun heels, some statement jewelry, and actually wore my glasses.

Chambray Top: Mossimo- thrifted

Necklace: eBay

I LOVE getting dressed up.  Also- Shoedazzle has some GREAT shoes- I got 75% off these lovely heels and free shipping- I think they cost me $17.00 total and they were originally over $60.00.

Rainy Day

Here's another rainy day style.  I've been getting LOTS of use out of my Hunter ankle boots, and I can't say that I mind too much.

For this outfit I paired skinny jeans with my Hunter ankle boots, a striped t-shirt, grey loose sweater, statement earrings, and a low bun.

Whenever it rains I always pull my hair back to avoid the whole wet, frizzy look.  This low bun keeps frizz at bay and still looks pulled together.

Skinny Jeans: Alloy

Ankle Boots: Hunter- bought on eBay

Striped T-Shirt: Mossimo- thrifted

Grey Loose Sweater: Forever 21

J. Crew Statement earrings

This is an easy effortless outfit- you could wear any print on the top!

Floral Power

Spring has finally arrived and with it we got a whole mess of more snow.  There is something wrong with that picture.

I think I've been wishing for Spring to come and it shows in the outfits I've been wearing.

This is by far one of my favorite tops... EVER.  And big surprise- I got it at my local thrift store for $3.50.

Jeans: Seven For All Mankind: Thrifted

Purple and Pink

For my birthday I got a few fun pieces of jewelry from my in-laws.  This whole outfit was inspired by this necklace from Baublebar.  Don't be afraid to mix prints.  Just make sure you balance out your prints with solids and you are good to go.

For this look I paired some purple Ann Taylor Loft Skinny pants with my Hunter ankle boots, a striped neon pink t-shirt, aztec print cardigan, and some statement jewelry.

Candy Gem Necklace

So I've been a busy bee lately!  In the last week I've completely revamped our master bedroom- (blog post and photos to follow), I've been prepping for LOTS of upcoming photo shoots, Spring cleaning, and lots more.  This week will be full of the fun outfits I've been wearing lately.

I came across this lovely necklace on eBay and I had to have it.  It was one of those auctions that ended at like some ungodly hour so I set my phone alarm, woke up, placed a bid, and went back to sleep.  It was amazing to wake up and see that I had won!  It was like Christmas morning when it came in the mail.  It's a Baublebar necklace.  Baublebar has the cutest jewelry and it's really well made for fashion/costume jewelry.  You can check out their website at Baublebar.com.

Two of my newest necklaces- Left is from J. Crew Factory and right was bought on eBay

For this look I paired skinny jeans, ankle boots, a light button down chambray shirt, with a v-neck navy striped sweater and my fun statement necklace.

I cannot wait to pair this necklace with lots of other fun outfits.

Can you tell I have a small obsession with statement jewelry??

Happy Monday-
