It wasn't until I had kids that I realized the importance of between meal snacks for keeping the crankies at bay. These days I have fully embraced snacks as part of my food plan, and since my snacks are similar to what I feed my girls, I am eating healthy foods. Most days I have a snack between breakfast and lunch - a piece of fruit, a handful of nuts, or both. I also eat something between lunch and dinner - I have to or else cooking a well-balanced dinner is out of the question because I am starving. What about you?
