Healthy Snack: Turkey Cilantro Roll Up

Eating healthy can sometimes seem like a daunting task. If you’re used to eating out or eating foods high in fat and carbohydrates, it may be an adjustment, but you can do it without sacrificing flavor. Yes, it takes a little more preparation and thought to make healthy meals and snacks that TASTE GOOD! Those last two words, you know, seem to scare people away from eating healthy. Many think that eating healthy means eating tender chicken breasts with plain rice and steamed vegetables without a hint of spice. It is not the case! In fact, you can eat delicious food without feeling deprived. My idea of ​​a sandwich is the perfect balance between flavor and healthy food.

I like to keep healthy protein on hand at all times. Protein seems to be one of the hardest items to find or grab. To make sure you’re prepared, it’s a good idea to keep hard-boiled eggs, baked chicken, organic deli meats, and grass-fed beef that’s been cooked on hand. This way, you can make an easy no-cook snack several times a day. I also like to add delicious carbs that are good for you, like greens and savory bell peppers. Quinoa, brown rice, oats, and homemade granola mixes are also great sources of healthy carbs. Healthy fats are a must! I always keep healthy fats like grass-fed butter, oils, and nuts in my fridge and pantry. Spices are also a fantastic way to switch up the flavor without adding a ton of calories or unhealthy ingredients. Balance is key. You want to make sure you have a solid balance of protein, carbs, and fat for all your meals and snacks. This can help control blood sugar levels so you don’t have energy spikes and dips.

For this snack, we used Plainville Farms turkey (carrageenan free) with organic spinach and Bolthouse Farms Cilantro Avocado Yogurt Dressing. We’re pretty much in love with these dressings right now because they don’t contain a ton of junk, are yogurt based, and only 40 calories for 2 tablespoons. You can enjoy them without guilt!
