Healthy Snacks!

Lately I have been struggling to come up with heathy snack ideas for Ella and myself.  I needed to find some ideas that were easy for me to take to work and also some ideas to Ella would enjoy.  I love read Real Simple Magazine because it's packed with great ideas! Here are some of my favorite snack ideas from: realsimple.com/healthysnacks.  I am really excited to see ideas including hummus, peanut butter, and salmon! Yummmm! Today is my second cleanse day so I can't have a snack today but I will be making one or two of these to take to work with me tomorrow!
