Celebrate with Dessert at McDonald's

I am a brand ambassador for McDonald’s of Central Arkansas and am being compensated for this post, all thoughts and opinions though are my own.

   Life has many reasons for celebration, sometimes just surviving the day is one.  Whether it’s a hard day at work, a test day at school or celebrating big news or accomplishments, I like to celebrate with dessert. McDonald’s is a great place to get a dessert to celebrate any occasion.

Clean Eating Snacks

   Yesterday my first guest post went up on Arkansas Women Bloggers. (click here to see it) All about how to get started on a clean eating diet. This is a follow up to that post and I will be sharing some great, easy snack ideas. While eating clean there is a good chance you will be hungry between meals, it is important to have clean options around so you don’t slip up.

1. Popcorn- not in the bags, air popped or popped in a pan with coconut oil
2. Vegetable and hummus- carrots, celery, peppers,
3. Almonds, peanuts, pecans,cashews
4. Greek yogurt
5. Greek yogurt + fruit
6. Pumpkin seeds
7. Cup of berries
8. Cup of cottage cheese
9. Apple slices
10. Small box of raisins
11. A clementine orange
12. String cheese
13. Peanut Butter Honey Oat Bars from skinny ms 
14. Nut butters
15. Banana wraps-  These look delish and I will be making them soon. Recipe from The Gracious Pantry
16. Roasted Chickpeas- with seasonings
17. Clean Energy Bites – like these from Coffee and Quinoa
18. Asparagus
19. Homemade popsicles
20. Dark Chocolate- in moderation. 

   Do you already have a clean eating diet? What snacks did I leave out? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Road Trip Snacks

  This weekend we will be going on an about 8 hour road trip to Atlanta, Georgia. We don't want to make many stops especially for food. I went to the ever helpful Pinterest and searched "road trip snacks" and there are a lot of different pins with ideas.
