Snacking

Do you emotionally connect to this woman? If so, good. I'm glad we have something in common. Except for the difference between me and her is that her fridge is completely filled with veggies while mine has exactly two.
How do bad snacking habits have to do with pop culture you may be wondering? Well I figure that everyone snacks right? So it's popular. And America is generally stereotyped as being overweight, and I'm American, so therefore it is my culture. Ta da!
To give an example of bad snacking, I just made myself some cookie dough to trudge through the next five hours or so of homework instead of eating an apple or something that would actually give me energy. So yes, I am being slightly hypocritical sitting here, munching on my chocolate supreme cookie dough but c'est la vie.
Anywhos whenever I'm randomly feeling the need to lie to myself and pretend that I'm healthy my personal go to snacks are smoothies. Although I guess they're really more of a beverage? I'm not quite sure.
Moving on.
This is the recipe I normally use:

Mainly because it's quick and easy, which is good since I'm a pretty horrible food maker, but also because it tastes good. (Although I make it slightly less healthy and slightly (a lot) better tasting by adding a good amount of sugar.) If you're into smoothies like me then here's another site that might interest you:

However I can't really guarantee how good for you all of them are.
Like a large amount of people I know my favorite fruit happens to be strawberries. And, even better, is that they are hella good for you. Don't believe me? Check it out:

 Chocolate strawberries are my favorite and surprisingly, even when covered in something usually seen as not the healthiest, they're still pretty darn tootin good for you. As seen here:

I have also tried the frozen fruit pops from this site and those were pretty rad.
I'm sure most people, including myself, sometimes have a random urge some random day to lose weight (I don't know, maybe I'm the only one.) Well apparently, there are foods to help with that.

As seen in the link above, there are some snacks that seemingly taste good and can be good for you. Some of those honestly look just a teensy bit weird to me but hey, it's always fun to try new foods.
Good luck on your quest to being healthier!
