15 Healthy Small Meal & Snack Ideas

One of the most common “complaints” I hear from clients is that they get bored with food after making the switch to clean eating. While saying goodbye to processed food and the drive thru does indeed limit your choices, there are still plenty of tasty options.

Since I’m a refuel every 3 to 4 hours kind of chick, my meals tend to be smaller – in the 300-400 calorie range each.

I’ve listed a few of my favorite small meal and snack ideas for those of you searching for ideas to re-ignite those taste buds.

1. plain greek yogurt (I like Fage 2%) + berries + nuts or seeds + a few drops of stevia

2. cottage cheese on ezekiel toast or a whole grain english muffin with a drizzle of honey

3. hot quinoa (or oatmeal or buckwheat) + 1 tbsp nut butter + sliced bananas + splash unsweetened almond milk (such a yummy breakfast)

4. scrambled eggs on ezekiel toast or a whole grain english muffin with sliced avocado

5. hard boiled egg + clementine + avocado slices

6. sweet potato + a little butter + cinnamon

7. turkey burger + hummus (love Trader Joe’s eggplant hummus)

8. tomato soup + ground turkey + a tsp basil paste or pesto

9. turkey slices (Applegate brand is great) + cheese + apple slices

10. apple + 1 tbsp nut butter

11. greens + diced chicken + strawberries + feta or goat cheese + walnuts + tbsp dressing

12. baby carrots + hummus

13. 1/2 avocado stuffed with tuna + salsa
