I’ve made it a point to try to eat healthier over the last year. While that can be hard at times, certain foods really help to make it easier on me.
For instance, I was able to try a variety of Old London products recently. The Roasted Garlic Melba Snacks were my favorite variety and didn’t even taste like I was eating healthy. The first time I tried them, I ate them plain, just snacking. I thought they’d be really good with dip so I paired them with my very own dip recipe at a party. Everyone loved them and I was happy to be able to provide a healthier party food. The recipe is easy and I’ll share it below!
- 1 – packet dry ranch mix
- 1 – 16oz container sour cream
- 1 – 8oz package cream cheese

? Keep your body fueled and your mind energized by always combining carbohydrate-rich
foods with protein and/or healthy fats.
? Our bodies work like a clock. Create a food plan, including 5-6 meals and snacks throughout
the day. Eat every 3 hours or so to keep your energy levels high and maintain mental focus.
? Fuel yourself with carbohydrate and protein before and after exercise to maximize your
workout time, enhance your strength and endurance, and burn more calories during and
after exercise.
? Carbohydrate-rich foods fuel your muscles and raise your mood. Include them at every meal
and snack throughout the day to keep going strong.
? Eat a plant-based Mediterranean-style diet rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts and
seeds to bolster your immune system and feel your best every day.
? Crunchy foods make us feel good. Add some crispy crunch to your diet by choosing
naturally light and lean fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts and grain products with crunch that are
easily portion controlled for low calorie, high fiber, satisfying snacks.
? Eat before you are hungry to control your appetite and cravings. Plan small, frequent meals
and packable snacks to keep you centered throughout the day.
? The Mediterranean diet is rich in important healthy fats from fish, olives, extra virgin olive
oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds. These fats are naturally high in anti-inflammatory factors that
promote health and prevent disease. Include several small portions of these foods in your
diet every day.
? Milk and yogurt are feel great foods, naturally rich in protein and a small amount of
carbohydrate to raise mood and help your muscles refuel, recover and grow. Combine milk
or yogurt with another carbohydrate source for a great pre-workout or post-workout snack
or anytime during the day.
? For a healthy brain and nervous system, eat a whole egg every day. Egg yolks are a rich
source of the B-vitamin choline, required to maintain the transport of nutrients into the cells
and toxins out of the cells, and for every thought and movement that we have
