Feel sexy all summer long with these Fit Snacks. Our promise is: They look as good as they taste and make you feel amazing too. We taste test every snack and review every ingredient one by one. Fit Snacks are best enjoyed when you are living a lifestyle that makes you feel your best. What does it mean to feel your best? It means you are balanced in your body and mind. It means you eat balanced snacks and feel good so you can live your best life.
We include a workout in every box and as a thanks for reading our blog we have something just for you! Our Nutritionist selects each snack and she put together some tips to go with this line up of clean snacks.
Here’s some fun flat tummy facts before we get to the snacks:
- Battle the bloat. Drink water for 3 days straight and no other liquids. Focus on foods or snacks with 5-7 ingredients that you recognize.
- Say No to Sugar & Say Hello to a tighter tummy! Avoid added sugar and replace high sugar fruits with low sugar options. Kiwi, apples and pomegranates.
- Eat Lean. Be Lean. Focus on lean fats, avocado, nut butters, seeds (especially pumpkin seeds, not all seeds are equal). Get the most bang for your buck and buy nutritious foods that help you help yourself.
What you eat is 80% of the focus, the other 20% should be on the exercises you do. Our June Fit Snack box has your Personal Trainer created lean body workout and includes tips.
It’s not about a flat tummy at the end of the day. It’s about a healthy body and mind. Your stomach is the core of your body. Stronger stomach muscles can help end back pain and give you better overall balance. When you practice physical balance you are also balancing your mind because well, they’re connected. You want a strong body and strong mind. This will prepare you not just for a day at the beach, but a lifetime of feeling your best. Why not? Aim high. Snack healthy. Together let’s raise the bar for healthy snacks!
