3 On The Go Healthy Fall Snacks!

It is officially fall! So today I am rounding up 3 of my favorite fall snacks I have made that are super festive but are still good for you. Plus, these are all great to take on the go.

When it comes to snacks I like to make sure there are three things in every snack: protein, fat and fiber. All these things help to stabilize blood sugar, reduce cravings and prevent you from getting hangry.


Pumpkin Spice Trail Mix

I love this recipe because you can make a big batch at a time. I grab some and put it in a stasher bag to keep in my purse or clinic bag. Full of healthy fats and warming spices this mix is great because it is only lightly sweet.

Carrot Cake Smoothie

Smoothies can be great to take on the go, and though carrot usually has its place in spring. I really like it in the fall too. The cinnamon helps to balance blood sugar while the dose of carrot boosts the immune system.
