FOOD COACH NYC

The best snack? A green vegetable juice, vegetables such as a juicy yellow pepper and baby grape tomatoes or fruit such as papaya drizzled in lime juice and berries mixed with mint and lemon.

But when you want to be creative and have the time, there’s so much more to choose from.  Seriously, avoid the packaged snack – they will make you fat. No vegetable chips, no gluten-free pretzels, no popcorn, no 100 calorie packs, no Skinnycow ice-cream, no diet anything.  Ewh.  Be real and keep all your food clean.
