Healthy Snack Mix

What you will need:
A large tub
Smaller containers to portion out servings and/or pack them in your lunch/bag/purse.
Whole almonds
Dried cranberries
Ghiradelli dark chocolate chips 60% cacao

This little container holds 1/2 cup which is 2 servings.
Watch your serving sizes!
For example: for each of these ingredients each package says that a serving size is 1/4 cup.
That doesn't mean you get to eat 1/4 cup of each!

One of the keys to eating healthy is that you have to have healthy stuff around and not the bad stuff.
It's also not really a good idea to deny yourself sweets if you are a sweets kind of person.
You just have to have healthy sweets around.
I've learned to satisfy my chocolate craving by making healthier choices.
I only eat dark chocolate with 60% cacao or higher for my health.
I combine my chocolate with other things that are healthy for me so I don't just fill up on chocolate.
The key is finding what works for you.
Mixing a large batch saves time.
Having healthy snacks around keep you from making bad food choices!
