Eating snacks with the right ratio of nutrients, with the right calories, will help keep your body energized and help you lose weight. Here are 4 healthy snacks that keep the calories down and the protein and fiber up!
⭐️ Power berry smoothie
This healthy snack recipe, which calls for soy protein powder and low-fat plain yogurt, contains 9 grams of protein; swap in Greek yogurt to add even more. Frozen berries add fiber (4 grams total), and honey provides sweetness. All this for only 139 calories!
Ingredients: Frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries), water, plain yogurt, honey, unsweetened soy protein powder.
⭐️ Edamame
One cup of edamame, or boiled soybeans, contains 17 grams of protein, 8 grams of fiber, and 189 calories. A perfect snack all by itself! Serve hot or cold, season with salt, and enjoy.
Simply toss the bean with a bit of salt, pepper, and olive oil, then bake in the oven for about an hour. The final product is a tasty, crunchy way to enjoy this healthy food, perfect for when those potato chip cravings strike! And at only 130 calories a serving, it's prime for snack time.
⭐️ Chicken pita sandwich (half)
There's no reason you can't have smaller portions of "real" food as snacks. Whip up this chicken and veggie pita in the morning, and split it in half for two snacks throughout the day. Each half contains 200 calories, 3 grams of fiber, and more than 20 grams of protein.
Ingredients: Baby spinach, cooked skinless, boneless chicken, sliced red bell pepper, low-fat Italian vinaigrette, whole-grain pita.
⭐️ Canned tuna on whole-wheat crackers
If you don't want to incorporate dairy into every snack, a can of tuna (packaged in water) is another great source of lean protein plus healthy Omega-3s. For about 200 calories, you can enjoy 3 ounces of light tuna and 6 whole-wheat cracker—complete with 3 grams of fiber and 20 grams of protein.
Make it a PART of your LIFE & you’ll become more healthy & fit - ready to conquer EVERY day! #psfchicago
Turn your zucchini into noodles (or even easier, use packaged Zoodles!) and toss with fresh basil pesto. A fresh and healthy meal in minutes!
⭐️ INGREDIENTS ⭐️
4 small zucchini ends trimmed (or Zoodles)
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Cherry or grape tomatoes optional
⭐️ DIRECTIONS ⭐️
Use a julienne peeler or mandoline to slice the zucchini into noodles (or use packaged Zoodles). Set aside.
Combine the basil and garlic in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream while the food processor is on. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula. Add the lemon juice and Parmesan cheese.
Pulse until blended. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine the zucchini noodles and pesto. Toss until zucchini noodles are well coated. Top with tomatoes, if using. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Note-if you want to cook the zucchini noodles, you can. Just add the zucchini pesto noodles to a skillet and sauté them up over medium heat. It only takes a few minutes

Shrimp tacos sound like a good idea 💥 This recipe sounds delish...who will try it and report back?!?!?
⭐️INGREDIENTS⭐️
Garlic Cilantro Lime Sauce:
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup cilantro leaves
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
juice of 2 limes
1/2 cup sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
Shrimp Taco Spice Mix:
2 teaspoons each chili powder and cumin
1/2 teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
stuff for the shrimp tacos:
1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
2–3 cups shredded green cabbage
8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
avocados, Cotija cheese, and lime wedges for serving
⭐️DIRECTIONS⭐️
Sauce: Pulse all the sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth.
Slaw: Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage. We’ll use the leftover sauce to top the tacos.
Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Toss the shrimp in a small bowl with the spice mix to get it coated. Heat a drizzle of oil a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and sauté for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.
Assembly: For the prettiest and easiest-to-eat assembly, go in this order: smashed avocado, slaw, and shrimp. Finish with Cotjia cheese, lime wedges, and extra sauce.
Grab a green tube and get to work! Just a few quick simple moves and you can get a total body blast that can be your standalone workout…or add it to some bonus cardio for more intensity. Squats, bicep curls, squat curl combo, shoulder press plus some squat pops will rev up your heart rate and serve as a total body tightened! 🙌🏻

🔹Lie on your left side with your head resting on your arm.
🔹Bend your right knee and hip up toward your chest as far as you can, and let it drop to the floor.
