9/28/2023 Looking for Fitness Boosting Snacks: Sea Salted, Roasted Edamame May Be The Perfect On-The-Go Option!Read NowPerfect Macros at: 100 calories, 11 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber and PACKED with nutrients!  Photos ©copyright SheDo50Too I love finding new on-the-go snack options to include in my rotation. It’s a huge bonus when one meets caloric, macro, nutrient, taste and midlife needs all at once. Roasted edamame is one such find! Recently, I revisited this small pre-packaged, 100 calorie, snack because it packs perfectly for my family’s busy lifestyle. This tiny package - seen here - fits perfectly in a purse, lunchbox, backpack or even a pocket.  And as you can see from the nutrition panel at 100 calories it packs a punch in the nutrient area! 11 grams of protein, 4 grams of good fat, 6 carbs, 4 grams of fiber and only 2 grams of sugar - along with calcium, iron and potassium make this crunchy, salty snack just perfect for anyone. Edamame is simply young, immature, soybeans. It is a member of the legume family. According to Healthline, edamame contain a whole list of vitamins and minerals including: magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, folate, vitamin k1, thiamine, riboflavin and copper. And..we are not just talking about small percentages of these nutrients. Edamame is packed! A true powerhouse. Because of the macro makeup it may be healthier for blood sugar levels than other snacks. Additionally, edamame and soy in general, are believed to alleviate some menopausal symptoms. That’s a major plus to me! The high calcium content may help with bone health as well. My whole family is enjoying this snack lately. Everyone loves that it’s pre-portioned so they know exactly what they are consuming. This is a shelf stable item, so it travels very well. This works as a stand-alone snack straight from the pack. Recently, we have enjoyed the small crunchy legumes on top of salads, in savory yogurt and rice bowls. The options are endless. If you would like to give them a try, these particular packs of Edamame can be found at the link below.

4/27/2023 Boost Your Skin’s Health with this Delicious Protein Packed Yogurt and Collagen Snack!Read Now This latest snack discovery is a new household favorite. Collagen and Greek yogurt (especially the 2 products featured here), mix together for the taste and texture of chocolate pudding. This is a creamy, satisfying snack that feels more like a decadent dessert. If you are searching for healthy foods and love dessert you should read on. Collagen has been a health craze over the last several years. It is a building block in our bodies. Collagen is an made from amino acids that we consume; and it is an important component in the organs, muscles, joints, cartilage, skin, hair and nails. Our body’s ability to produce collagen naturally, diminishes as we age. This is why supplementing with it may be beneficial. Collagen, as a food additive, (like the powder I feature in the photo above) adds a significant amount of protein, iron and potassium to whatever food or drink it compliments. My personal favorite is the Sports Research Dark Chocolate Collagen. This has a very rich chocolate flavor, even mixed alone into water. It is slightly sweet, which is perfect to satisfy a sweet tooth. I have supplemented with this powder for several years now. I use it in hot and cold coffee, with a little milk, to make a mocha. I mix it in almond milk for hot and cold chocolate milk; and now I have discovered this wonderful Greek Yogurt “Pudding” that is simply Delicious! I am not a healthcare expert. It is recommended that you speak with your own healthcare professional about any supplements that you use. I can say that for myself, I have not noticed any negative effects only improvement in my skin, hair and nails as well as lean muscle mass over time. Of course everyone is different and may have varying results. I am simply sharing something that I truly love. Here is a link to this fantastic Sport Research Collagen. The mixture is so simple. There is no need for any additional dishes. Simply mix one scoop of dark chocolate collagen powder into a yogurt cup and voila…..decadent, rich and creamy dessert is served. I will say, it blends quite well with yogurt. Making a very smooth cup. The collagen blends nicely into hot drinks too. If mixing into a cold drink I recommend blending for smooth consistency, as it can be a little lumpy. Our family has mixed this collagen with vanilla for chocolate pudding. Mix with strawberry yogurt for a chocolate dipped strawberry vibe. Coconut is fantastic. Cherry flavored yogurt and even cheesecake are so tasty. We have not tried one flavor mixture that we do not like. Really any flavor of collagen and yogurt will work based on individual tastes and since the collagen acts as a thickening agent, it should all have a pudding consistency. The nutritional value is fantastic too: at 130 calories, 23 grams of protein, 7 sugars, 11 carbs, and 0 fat. Our family specifically likes to eat the Dannon Light n’ Fit Greek Yogurt. We find it to be the best caloric amount for the nutritional content. The taste is great and there is a zero sugar option available too. Here’s the full breakdown of nutritional value from My Fitness Pal App.
See making the yogurt at the link here. No mess, No extra dishes. Fast and decadent. Give it a try and let me know with a comment if you like it.
