Hey hey! So if you're like me, you're ALWAYS on the go. Sometimes I remember to pack myself a lunch, but most of the time I don't. Now this doesn't always mean that I swing through the closest fast food joint in between meetings, sometimes I just forget to eat entirely! I know I know, how do I just 'forget' to eat, but I swear sometimes I just get goin on a project and the next thing I know the whole day is gone!

A lot of the times when I forget to eat, the fatigue wears me down so fast and I start to show symptoms of 'hangry-ness.' If you don't know what it's like to be hangry, you're probably lying! Haha

Thankfully I can ALWAYS rely on my girl and Ridge Fitness personal trainer, Rachel Plumage, for some smart advice. She is the QUEEN of finding/creating snacks that are both tasty AND beneficial for your body.

Check out some of these super healthy and delicious snack ideas that she sent me this week! You won't be disappointed!
