You should do one of these for breakfast options! I have to be to work fairly early in the morning and never want to get up even earlier to make myself breakfast lol. So I always just end up eating a protein bar or something along those lines and I'm getting kind of bored with that! I love all your videos!
my favorite on the go snack/quick and easy snack is a mini bagel with peanut butter and sliced banana on top. it gives me energy and keeps me full through a whole class in college! i love your videos. they give me inspiration and help to keep me on track with my healthy eating
Can you please do more of these? I'm a personal trainer and I'm on the go alllll the time. I meal prep of course but I'm always looking for new on the go finds for the middle of my days 😊 love your channel girl!
My favorite on the go snacks are Cucumber slices, with the Trader Joe's yogurt and chive dip and A green smoothie, blend and take it on the go. Enjoyed this video!
I have recently stumbled across your channel, I already subscribed, and I am obsessed! Your info is so wonderful and very appreciated. Thank you so much for what you do ❤
I love your videos!!! Would you be able to do some lunch ideas for those of us who can't digest raw veggies ? I wish I could eat a salad without bloating and getting pain so it's a struggle to be healthy :(
Love your videos - I have gotten some really great ideas from a lot of them! One of my favorite snacks is some celery sticks with peanut butter...so delicious!!
My favorite on the go snack is either roasted chickpeas, roast edamame, or Square Bars. All 3 are high in protein which make them filling when I am in a pinch for time! I definitely recommend Square Bars to anyone who is looking a good bar, they are vegan as well.
Hi Becca, love your videos! I was just wondering what your take on intermittent fasting is. I'd definitely enjoy watching a video about a dietitian's point of view on intermittent fasting!
I think I'm going to try the yogurt. Also, my go to snack is salt free rice cakes with almond butter and polaner fruit spread. The fruit spread is good and has no high fructose corn syrup!
Yahhs finally the snack video! You should do more as you get find good ones I am always on the search for a good snack because I work as a nurse and you don't always get time to sit down for a full lunch gotta grab and go! Thanks !
Yes Nina!! I was thinking of you while making this video! I remember you saying you were a nurse and needed some healthy snack ideas that were very filling! I hope you found it helpful :) And I will definitely try and share good snacks ideas/combos as I come across them! xx
Veggies and hummus. Ezekiel roast with nut nutter and sliced banana. Greek yogurt with berries. Larabars. Love almonds and blueberries; now I'm excited to try them together!
Stephanie Roddy what? Omg siggis is too good. Everyone is different I guess. I'm just very curious as to what it was about the yogurt that didn't do it for you?
Yeah looking at carbs overall to protein is good, but I also like to take into consideration how much of those carbs are sugar as well! I always try and shoot for as balanced as possible, but the more protein the better for the most part
Oh my gosh girl, I am so, so happy I found your videos. I've been watching for about 3 hours now hahaha. I've been struggling with trying to find someone to explain HOW and WHY foods work together. All your videos do such an excellent job of that. Thank you for sharing. I think you're wonderful. I feel like I already know the answer to this... but what is your take on the 'Pure Protein' Bars brand? You can see the ingredients and stuff on the Walmart/Sams club websites. I'm trying to find a good source of protein immediately after working out that isn't going to cost a ton of money. I haven't actually seen any of your videos mention that yet, or what you do personally. I have tried this bar and really like the double chocolate. It has 20 grams of protein and keeps me full about 3 hours after I workout. Have a super weekend! Thanks!
Love this video! I would like to see a video on how to get more protein in, specifically protein rich snacks. I love your grocery haul videos too.. Haven't seen one of those in awhile :)
So we are doing no eating out this year except birthdays or celebrations. One area that always gets us is being in the car and we are hungry so we stop in a drive thru. I would love a video on car snacks! Hot and cold season ones. We are in Texas and so we get random temperatures.
I don't really eat bars for snacks. They are so expensive! For on the go snacks I usually eat nuts and fruit, but if I have some more time I love to mix plain Greek yogurt with salsa and eat it with blue corn chips! Thanks for the ideas Becca :)
I agree they can get pricey! You definitely can't go wrong with nuts & fruit! And that sounds like an interesting combo I definitely want to try..I always liked creamy salsa dips growing up (like salsa & cream cheese mixed together..which actually sounds gross when you really think about it haha but its so good!!) so I'm definitely gonna try that out!
My favorite snacks are siggas yogurt w/ blueberries, flax seed , pumpkin seeds, mama chia granola, and a type of nut butter! Also like fruit and cheesesticks
Hi Becca! Love the video, as always. Could you possibly do a video depicting "healthy" ice cream (halo top, arctic zero, etc)? They still seem too good to be true to me!
I know Whole Foods always carries perfect bars, but some of my local grocery stores has started carrying them too! They are kept in the refrigerated section, not with all the other bars on the shelf! And as far as that's it bars, I know Target has started to carry them! And you can always get them on Amazon or off their website :)
Hi Becca, fantastic tips/ info.. thank you. New to your channel .. lots of videos to enjoy. 🙂 You have great camera presence, your beautiful with a pleasant voice and lovely energy.. I found the background music a bit of a distraction during your presentation.
I love love Perfect Bars! I usually split them into two pieces and save the other half for later. My favorite is the Carob Chip flavor.. so try it if you haven't had this one :) Also, I have a video request for you! Your thoughts on coconut yogurt/almond yogurt/soy yogurt.. basically... yogurt alternatives! It could be a "skinny on" video. Just a thought :)
They're so good! And I usually do the same. They are so filling! I have tried the carob chip flavor, it's good but the peanut butter is just my all time fav! I also really like the almond butter one too :) And that's a good idea! I just uploaded a skinny on non-dairy milk video, I should definitely do one on the non-dairy yogurts as well. Great suggestion, thanks Katie!
I absolutely LOVE Siggi's! I can only eat the 0% fat ones as they are so rich and creamy. I have issues with my bone health though and lactose intolerant. Siggi's is the only yogurt I can tolerate tbh. Ive read so much there are nutrients like K2, CLA, etc thats only in the fat. ALso SIggis is very low in calcium and I have problems with drinking even lactose free milk. My bones went down hill when I was vegan for 12 yrs so Im guessing I do not absorb calcium carbonate well, etc. Im now vegetarian as the vegan diet seemed to harm my bones, but lactose intolerant. What is healthiest dairy/calcium wise? I do supplement with vit D, now K2 and been taking some algae based calcium. Also Im surprised you dont seem to eat flax or chia seed? Do you enjoy fish I guess instead? Thanks! YOur videos are great as most people want a healthy sustainable non restrictive diet. You address healthier options and dont promote extreme eating or elimination.
They don't carry the plain near me!! I would totally get that along with the vanilla if they did. The only plain flavor they have is the drinkable version which I am curious to try..have you ever tried that one?
Hi Becca, can you please do a video on all the different "super" supplements out there, like Moringa, Chlorella, Tumeric and any other "magical" natural supplements that are popular right now. Thank you.
Becca Bristow another video I'd love to see is you talking about Fad Superfoods (acai, cacao nibs, maca powder etc) vs more easily available fruits/foods (at least here in the US). Sometimes you tubers can make it seem like you are missing out if you don't eat them, and I wonder if they are overhyped! It would be cool to do a comparison of some sort :). Especially since I feel like a lot of people feel like they can't afford to be healthy! Love your videos! Must go to bed I think I've watched like 40% of your channel in one night.
Sheri Vance She definitely eats dairy - you can see her talking about/eating Greek yogurt in a few of her "what I eat in a day" videos :) she also has a video dedicated to them and the healthier options. It's in her "the skinny on" series.
I eat dairy! The main source of dairy in my diet is definitely greek yogurt. Are you lactose intolerant? Or just choosing to avoid it? Out of all the dairy products, yogurt is the most beneficial in my opinion (especially greek) since it's high in protein & has probiotics. Just watch the sugar content! But you don't have to eat yogurt haha it's totally up to you!
hello becca I have been watching your video since last year. Hope you can do a video about being a vegan but with balanced meal plans to balnace cravings and sugar spikes especially before midnight I binge on fruits. My problem is i overeat at evey meals. I eat vegan and sometimes fish twice a week. Im counting calories at 1450 for a 5 ft woman and do light pilates only at home.
I know you are not vegan as I have watched tons of your videos and I do watch your videos every single day to help me remember that I need to eat balanced meals. thats why Iam not a full vegan anymore. I am somewhat a nutritarian who eats, grains, fruits, vegetables, fish and greek yogurt coz here in the Philippines we don't have coconut yogurt and I love greek yogurt even before when I went vegan. hope you can help me to know whats really my daily calorie count. I have went to 2 dieticians here in my country and they advice me that 1450 cal 41-43 kilos is just normal on my height who does 30 mins or 20 mins light pilates to intermediate everyday.
Holy crap $5?? Haha I would never pay that either, that's crazy! The whole foods near me always carries them, but one of my local stores has started carrying now too and they're the same price!
its hard to find yougurt that is low on sugar. i buy different organic brands and there like 12 grams of sugar. the zero sugar tastes like stevia and stevia is nasty.
This is the best series bc you actually know what you're talking about and not just winging it. Thank you Becca!
Hell yeah!! Haha thanks for watching and for your continuous support Brie! It means so much!! xx
thank you so much for all the details in every snack! it made me understand what each snack does for my body!!
You should do one of these for breakfast options! I have to be to work fairly early in the morning and never want to get up even earlier to make myself breakfast lol. So I always just end up eating a protein bar or something along those lines and I'm getting kind of bored with that! I love all your videos!
You seem so calm in this video as if filming is so natural for you! Thanks for another great idea.
That's good to hear haha thanks Emily! And thanks so much for watching! :)
Such great info! Excited to try the bars as well as Siggis! Thanks Becca! xo
Hi Becca! I recently discovered your channel and now I am obsessed! You're such a joy to watch and so inspiring! Thank You
I'm so happy to hear it!! Thank you so much Katie! :)
my favorite on the go snack/quick and easy snack is a mini bagel with peanut butter and sliced banana on top. it gives me energy and keeps me full through a whole class in college! i love your videos. they give me inspiration and help to keep me on track with my healthy eating
Sounds yummy! Has a great macronutrient mix too so definitely filling, great job! :) And I am so happy to hear that!! xx
Loved these ideas! I leave a container of almond butter at my desk at work -- so convenient!!
That's totally what I would do haha can't go a day without it pretty much!
I would love to see a video like this, but for those with nut allergies :) Loved this video!
Can you do another "random health facts" video? I loved the videos you did in the past with them.
Can you do "The Skinny on for Greek yogurts?" Love all your videos! So informative!
Stephanie Caywood ditto!
+Stephanie Caywood I've already done one 😉 You can find it under the Skinny Series playlist! It's an old video haha but the info is still solid!
Thank you!!
So welcome! :)
Can you please do more of these? I'm a personal trainer and I'm on the go alllll the time. I meal prep of course but I'm always looking for new on the go finds for the middle of my days 😊 love your channel girl!
Thanks so much for watching Britany! I will def try & make more in the future :)
My favorite on the go snacks are Cucumber slices, with the Trader Joe's yogurt and chive dip and A green smoothie, blend and take it on the go. Enjoyed this video!
Yum those sound so good!! I have to check out the TJ's dip!
New subscriber. Great ideas to help start my change in diet and weight loss journey!!!
Eating almonds & blueberries right now & yummmmm! Thanks for the recommendation!
So good right??!
Such a good video!! I am going on a roar trip so I needed this!
Oh perfect!! These would definitely be good for a road trip as well! Especially the bars :)
I have recently stumbled across your channel, I already subscribed, and I am obsessed! Your info is so wonderful and very appreciated. Thank you so much for what you do ❤
Thanks for these ideas -- been looking for some! Love your vids.
You're so welcome Sarah! Thanks for watching!! xx
Great Video! My go to snack is Apple slices with cinnamon and honey drizzled on to it! Yum, maybe not the best but it's good lol
Yumm it certainly does sounds good! Drizzling them with a nut butter instead of honey could help to make it a more well-balanced snack!
I love your videos!!! Would you be able to do some lunch ideas for those of us who can't digest raw veggies ? I wish I could eat a salad without bloating and getting pain so it's a struggle to be healthy :(
the lara bars are good to but high in sugar becuase the base is made of dates.
Love your videos - I have gotten some really great ideas from a lot of them!
One of my favorite snacks is some celery sticks with peanut butter...so delicious!!
I am so happy to hear that Kristy!! And that's a great snack..such a yummy classic! :)
I'm loving all your content recently! Keep up the hard work! :)
So glad to hear it! Thanks girl! xx
My favorite on the go snack is either roasted chickpeas, roast edamame, or Square Bars. All 3 are high in protein which make them filling when I am in a pinch for time! I definitely recommend Square Bars to anyone who is looking a good bar, they are vegan as well.
Yum they all sound so good, I love square bars!
Hi Becca, love your videos! I was just wondering what your take on intermittent fasting is. I'd definitely enjoy watching a video about a dietitian's point of view on intermittent fasting!
I think I'm going to try the yogurt. Also, my go to snack is salt free rice cakes with almond butter and polaner fruit spread. The fruit spread is good and has no high fructose corn syrup!
You should definitely check it out! And that sounds yummy!

The Siggi's vanilla is my favorite! I always add a little stevia to it to take away the tang, so good 😬
The vanilla is my fav too!!
Veggies and hummus. Ezekiel roast with nut nutter and sliced banana. Greek yogurt with berries. Larabars. Love almonds and blueberries; now I'm excited to try them together!
All of those sound SO good! You definitely have to give it a try..let me know how you like it! :)
Love Siggi's!! Such great tips. I actually took notes haha. Do you recommend unsalted nuts?
im so happy i discovered you!
I tried Siggis, but I just couldn't do it. Everything else is really good! Love this video!
Stephanie Roddy what? Omg siggis is too good. Everyone is different I guess. I'm just very curious as to what it was about the yogurt that didn't do it for you?
Fiorella Marisol: The taste was very bland. I put honey and fruit as an add in, but a no go!
Thanks for watching Stephanie! xx
What is a good fat/protein to sugar ration for a bar? Also, Idk why healthy snacks are so much harder to think of than meals. Thanks for the ideas!
Alyssa, you want to look at protein and carbs. 7 grams of protein to every 15 grams of carbs is the ratio.
:)
Yeah looking at carbs overall to protein is good, but I also like to take into consideration how much of those carbs are sugar as well! I always try and shoot for as balanced as possible, but the more protein the better for the most part
sweet potato + greek yogurt...life changing
Oh myyy that sounds good. Maybe with a little almond butter too?! Probably going to try that today haha thanks Grace!!
Loved the the snack ideas!!!!
Love your videos, Becca!! Keep it up :)
Thank you so much!! I definitely will! :)
Oh my gosh girl, I am so, so happy I found your videos. I've been watching for about 3 hours now hahaha. I've been struggling with trying to find someone to explain HOW and WHY foods work together. All your videos do such an excellent job of that. Thank you for sharing. I think you're wonderful.

Have a super weekend! Thanks!
This was so informative!
Yay I'm so glad to hear it! Thanks for watching Britt!
Awesome as always!
Aw thank you Hannah!! xx
This was my favorite video!!
So glad to hear it! :)
I do the Justin's almond butter (or any other type of nut butter) packets! They sell them at most grocery stores & I believe they are 2 Tbsp!
Those are great packets! So convenient!
Love this video! I would like to see a video on how to get more protein in, specifically protein rich snacks. I love your grocery haul videos too.. Haven't seen one of those in awhile :)
That's a good idea, thanks! And yes to grocery hauls I will try and film one soon! :)
Trader Joe's has a similar bar to the That's It bars, btw.
No way, good to know!

So we are doing no eating out this year except birthdays or celebrations. One area that always gets us is being in the car and we are hungry so we stop in a drive thru. I would love a video on car snacks! Hot and cold season ones. We are in Texas and so we get random temperatures.
Good for you!! You will save SO much money and it's healthier to cook at home! :) And car snacks is a great idea thank you!
I don't really eat bars for snacks. They are so expensive! For on the go snacks I usually eat nuts and fruit, but if I have some more time I love to mix plain Greek yogurt with salsa and eat it with blue corn chips! Thanks for the ideas Becca :)

I love Siggis!!
It's so good!! Thanks for watching Jessica :)
Thanks for this! I LOVED how these were vegetarian as well : )
Yay I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
hi there
can you get the bars and yogurt in Canada that you mentioned?
I'm honestly not sure!
My favorite snacks are siggas yogurt w/ blueberries, flax seed , pumpkin seeds, mama chia granola, and a type of nut butter!
Also like fruit and cheesesticks
That sounds SO good! I love adding nut butter to yogurt! Almond butter is my fav one to add :)
I love these videos!
Thanks Carol! So glad to hear it!
more videos about snacks please! :)
Good to know thanks Josiane! Love your name by the way!! So pretty :)
i love these videos!! 😘
Yay I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks for watching! :)
Love this!!!! Thanks B💗
So welcome Tanya! Thanks for watching!! xx
I love Siggi's...I also love Fage....I love to eat nuts and cheese together for a snack!
I love Fage too! And that sounds yummy!
Hi Becca! Love the video, as always. Could you possibly do a video depicting "healthy" ice cream (halo top, arctic zero, etc)? They still seem too good to be true to me!
YES that it such a good idea. It's on my "Skinny" video list! :)
Where can you buy the perfect bars and that's it Barr's
I know Whole Foods always carries perfect bars, but some of my local grocery stores has started carrying them too! They are kept in the refrigerated section, not with all the other bars on the shelf! And as far as that's it bars, I know Target has started to carry them! And you can always get them on Amazon or off their website :)
Becca please do snacks that are great for a diabetic person 😉
Or maybe like a breakfast lunch and dinner please 😉
I love seaweed snacks.. they are in the international food isle
Ooh thanks Mary I'm definitely going to pick some of those up!
Hi Becca, fantastic tips/ info.. thank you. New to your channel .. lots of videos to enjoy. 🙂 You have great camera presence, your beautiful with a pleasant voice and lovely energy.. I found the background music a bit of a distraction during your presentation.
+Linda McAndrew thank you so much Linda!! Glad you're enjoying. And thanks for the feedback on the music! :)
I love love Perfect Bars! I usually split them into two pieces and save the other half for later.

Would it be possible to link the nutrition value of each recommendation?
I can link the bars & the yogurt, but the blueberries/almonds and apple/almond butter would depend on how much you eat!
Becca Bristow Yay - thank you! Would 1/2 cup of blueberries and almonds be around 150 calories?
1/2 cup of each? Or mixed together..1/4 cup of each would be around 200-250 probably
Unflavored siggis is so good, but I think I just trained myself to eat very low sugar or plain haha
They don't carry the plain near me!! I would totally get that along with the vanilla if they did. The only plain flavor they have is the drinkable version which I am curious to try..have you ever tried that one?
Can you do a "The Skinny On NiceCreams" video?
Or, on regular yogurts, or protein powders, or fruit!
+Abigayle Smith I've done Greek yogurt & protein powder!
Hi Becca, can you please do a video on all the different "super" supplements out there, like Moringa, Chlorella, Tumeric and any other "magical" natural supplements that are popular right now. Thank you.
That's a good idea, thanks Liz!
Becca Bristow another video I'd love to see is you talking about Fad Superfoods (acai, cacao nibs, maca powder etc) vs more easily available fruits/foods (at least here in the US).

Especially since I feel like a lot of people feel like they can't afford to be healthy! Love your videos! Must go to bed I think I've watched like 40% of your channel in one night.
Do you stay away from dairy? Either way, with that thought....what do you think of yogurt and a person wanting to stay away from dairy...?
Sheri Vance She definitely eats dairy - you can see her talking about/eating Greek yogurt in a few of her "what I eat in a day" videos :) she also has a video dedicated to them and the healthier options. It's in her "the skinny on" series.

But you don't have to eat yogurt haha it's totally up to you!
Can you do a "How to Read Labels" video?
I actually already have one! It's an older video haha but the info is still solid! :)
hello becca I have been watching your video since last year. Hope you can do a video about being a vegan but with balanced meal plans to balnace cravings and sugar spikes especially before midnight I binge on fruits. My problem is i overeat at evey meals. I eat vegan and sometimes fish twice a week. Im counting calories at 1450 for a 5 ft woman and do light pilates only at home.
Hi Barbie! I am personally not vegan, and like to promote a more balanced lifestyle, so I will probably not be doing any vegan-focused videos :)
I know you are not vegan as I have watched tons of your videos and I do watch your videos every single day to help me remember that I need to eat balanced meals. thats why Iam not a full vegan anymore. I am somewhat a nutritarian who eats, grains, fruits, vegetables, fish and greek yogurt coz here in the Philippines we don't have coconut yogurt and I love greek yogurt even before when I went vegan. hope you can help me to know whats really my daily calorie count. I have went to 2 dieticians here in my country and they advice me that 1450 cal 41-43 kilos is just normal on my height who does 30 mins or 20 mins light pilates to intermediate everyday.
Where do you find your perfect bars?! My grocery sells them to close to $5! So yummy but can't justify the price, haha!
Holy crap $5?? Haha I would never pay that either, that's crazy! The whole foods near me always carries them, but one of my local stores has started carrying now too and they're the same price!
its hard to find yougurt that is low on sugar. i buy different organic brands and there like 12 grams of sugar. the zero sugar tastes like stevia and stevia is nasty.
Try some pure date sugar
this is so fustrating only because I'm from Canada so alot of products I can not find in Canada :(
how many nuts and berries do you eat in a snack?
I don't count..but probably a handful of blueberries and a palmful of almonds if I had to guess!
You know is better to feel full on fiber than fat and protein
You should do a "how to eat healthy when you're on your period" video 😂😤
I wouldn't call perfect bars healthy more like marketing hype
