I have been experimenting lately to find healthy alternatives to some of my favourite foods. I am a snacker. I would rather have little meals throughout the day than a few large ones. That being said, the snacks I like to reach for are sometimes not the best. So, I thought I would share some of my newest faves!

This is Sally's Cereals Chai Spiced hot oatmeal. I found it at WalMart for $2.89. What?!? I like that I can recognize all the ingredients, for one thing. Also, it's filling and yummy; it's the perfect hot breakfast for these cold mornings. Also, it's easy and convenient, coming in individual packages. I have it at work every morning.
These are Terra Sweets and Beets chips. Again, I can recognize all the ingredients and there are just a few. They are a pricey alternative to chips, costing close to $5 a bag. They are tasty though and not nearly as salty. I tried the Mediterranean ones as well and wasn't a fan.
Can you believe it's been ten days since I had a cup of coffee? Me!?!? What?!? I just needed to cut back on the caffeine and although I am not cutting it out completely, I am impressed how good I feel. I have been loving Earl Grey and Joy teas a lot. As a treat, I get the tea lattes from Starbucks with non fat milk and sugar free vanilla. Yum!
This Humm! hummus is seriously delicious. It has roasted pine nuts as a yummy garnish. I think this was about $2.89 at WalMart. I like to dip veggies or crackers in it and also as a sandwich or wrap spread.
And finally, just beans in general. I am slowly cutting down the amount of meat I eat and have been substituting with all kinds of beans. At first we didn't think it would be as filling but I find them more satisfying! You can buy them dried and cook them, but I choose the cans for about 80 cents a pop and just rinse them really well under cold water before using.
