Quick and Healthy Snack for a Busy Lifestyle

During the week, I am typically pressed for time.  Between being a full time graduate student and worker, I must portion my time wisely.  When I get home, my workload is not over; it has rather just begun.  My evenings are usually spent working on various assignments, papers, and research projects (hence why I can't wait for May!!) and the last thing I want to do is spend my one hour of free time I may have over the stove.  I try to eat healthy during the week since the weekends are usually filled with a lack of self-control and splurging.  Because of those eating frenzies I choose to partake in, I try my best to make up for it during the week, but it can be tough.  When I get home, I'm usually starving to the point where I want to eat my entire pantry.  Whatever is easily accessible is my go-to.  Since I can't eat Oreos and chips on the daily as an evening snack without having to purchase an additional gym membership for all those extra pounds, I began searching for healthier alternatives that are just as quick.

My latest go-to 'feed me now, I'm starving' snack has been turkey, cheese, and crackers.  I love how light the snack is without sacrificing taste.

The Alpine Lace® Swiss Cheese has been my reduced fat cheese of choice since it's much lighter than other choices and it doesn't hurt that is has 25% less fat than most.  I'm all about not feeling guilty after eating and this allows me to do just that.  

This balanced snack helps keep me full and fueled for my busy evenings.  The Alpine Lace® Deli Cheese is also good on grilled cheese sandwiches, my other favorite go-to quick snack.  Head on over to their site if you are interested in a healthier alternative, there are many other flavors to choose from if Swiss isn't your thing!
