Healthy Eating: A Quick Snack That Is Grain Free

When 2018 started, I vowed that I would begin a healthy lifestyle: eating healthy, exercising, etc.  Well...some of that has happened (I just can't make myself workout more than 15 min!)  When it came to eating healthy, I think I do about 80% of that.

After joining a program that gave me personalized meal plans and recipes (This has made my life so much easier) I began losing weight - slowly - but at least I've lost and not gained.  My downfall is salty foods and snacks, with crunch. I crave the salty goodness of crackers, grains and more, knowing that this is not healthy.

What is healthy, is this awesome snack that KitchFix has.  It has a bit of sweetness, mixed with nutty goodness of almonds, cashews, walnuts, coconut chips, raisins and the list goes on.  Not only does it satisfy my craving for something sweet and crunchy, it satisfies my salty cravings (this, by no means, is salty.)  This snack, by KitchFix, is the Grain Free Paleo Granola.

KitchFix was awesome enough to send me two of their granola packs - Grain Free Paleo Granola in Honey Pecan and Grain Free Paleo Granola Original Mix.  OMGoodness!  This is the ultimate snack (or topping) for my breakfast or lunch meals!  At first, I thought the Original Mix would be my favorite, only because it has the coconut chips and raisins....but then I tried the Honey Pecan.  The Honey Pecan has these clusters of almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds and more, with a hint of honey flavor.  

I'm still debating which is my favorite, but I can tell you this...I have used the Original Mix (coconut chips, raisins, almonds, sunflower seeds) as a topping for my chicken salad and it was amazing!  That little bit of extra crunch makes it all better!

Here is a little more info about the two.
