A couple of week’s ago I shared with you my #LiveFull goals for 2017, and I’m happy to report I’ve been sticking to them and continuing to see positive results!
Today I wanted to chat a little bit more in depth about one of my goals, which also happened to be the most difficult for me (if we’re being honest), and that’s smarter snacking.
This year as I focus on my #LiveFull goals with the theme of ADDING rather than removing things from my life, I realized that in the past I had gone about smarter snacking and healthy eating all wrong. In an attempt to get healthier or get in shape I found myself trying to cut things out of my daily eating routine.
While it’s not always a bad idea to cut out things that might not be making us feel our best, for me that method always seemed to leave me feeling deprived, and quite frankly I was left eating boring and bland foods that I didn’t even enjoy. Who is going to stick to a long-term routine that they don’t even enjoy?!
So this year, I decided to try something new. In order to be consistent I realized that I needed to have go-to healthy snacks and meals that fill me up and are full of nutrients, but that are also delicious!
Enter: my new favorite Yoplait Greek 100 Protein.
I seriously don’t know how I lived so long without it! The new Yoplait Greek 100 Protein comes in the same great flavors but with a new, thicker texture. It’s made with colors and flavors from natural sources with no high fructose corn syrup and contains live and active cultures. It comes in 20 delicious flavors, and each one has 100 calories and 14-15 grams of protein.
Speaking of making healthy fun, lately I’ve been taking my Yoplait Greek 100 Protein and putting a little twist on it. I’ve been loving making parfaits with layers of Yoplait Greek 100 Protein, granola, fruit, nuts and seeds.
What I love about parfaits is they’re not only beautiful and fun to eat (I mean – just look at those colors!) but they are full of different textures, a bang of extra nutrients from the fruit, and are also convenient. There’s no cooking required, and you could even make it the night before to have for breakfast the next morning.
Using Yoplait Greek 100 Protein in my parfaits is essential because the protein is so filling and helps curb my appetite so I can focus on my responsibilities for the day.
