We all know that having healthy snacks around the house will certainly help you in your quest for that rock hard body look. And I would like to provide for some healthy choice ideas regarding snacks.

I want to present to you what I typically stock in my refrigerator. Before I do that, I want to say that it probably makes sense to not have the junk food lying around because you will obviously eat it if it is there tempting you.

By having only healthy choices around the home you will allow the temptation, over time, to diminish for those junk food cravings. Be aware that your thought process plays a key role in this process.

It’s a choice to eat better and it’s important that you pay attention to what you think. People say you are what you eat, and you certainly are what you think. It all goes together.

The following list contains my personal preferences. In time I’m sure you will find what foods you enjoy the most.

Let’s start with the obviousl Fresh vegetables. Local produce (depending on where you live) is best. Next to that, do your best to find the local grocery store that has the freshest veggies possible. When I have eggs, I mix and match from onions, mushrooms, peppers, spinach, and so on. If you can, move away from the red meat and go for the lean chicken and turkey. If you can find it, I would recommend grass fed above all else.

When it comes to eggs, I do mean the whole egg. The nutrients are in the yolk itself. I know there are people out there that want you to believe that this is not the case, but that's where the nutrients are.

Now, if you’ve never tried smoothies, then you will have fun with this one. I love coconut milk in my drink. There are all sorts of wonderful recipes online that can help you make a simple smoothie. You can use yogurt, add some oatmeal, and blend away. The coconut milk provides a wonderful creamy taste to your concoction, while giving you the healthy saturated fats that you do in fact need.

Some more everyday fridge items...

Chopped walnuts, almonds, and pecans, which are both great sources of healthy fats and delicious

Cheeses like ricotta and cottage, as well as yougurt, which can all get mixed together with berries and chopped nuts for a geat meal either in the mid-morning or even mid-afternoon

Chia seeds or even whole flax seeds: I like to add these to a salad or yogurt after grinding these in a mini coffee grinder. The key is to always grind them fresh because the omega-3 polyunsaturated fats are highly unstable and prone to oxidation, and when they do oxidize, they create high levels of free radicals, which is also why you don't want pre-ground flax

Whole eggs: Don't fear the eggs; they increase GOOD cholesterol, and they are one of nature's richest sources of nutrients

Salsa: Get creative and test out different exotic flavors

Avocados: They are fantastic, and they provide many nutrients including fiber and healthy fats. Add them to wraps, sandwiches, and salads.

Shredded carrots combined with spinach and leaf lettuce for salads with dinner

Home-made salad dressing: Take extra virgin olive oil, and mix it with balsamic vinegar, as well as Udo's Choice oil blend. By making you're own salad dressing, you avoid the highly-refined soybean oils that are in a lot of store-bought salad dressings which contain inflammation-causing free-radicals.

Whole grain bread and wraps: Find them with at least 3-4 grams of fiber for every 20 grams of carbs

Wheat germ and rice brean: Although these may sound a little too healthy for some, they will actually add a nice crunchy and nutty taste to smoothies and yogurt. They can even be added when baking breads or muffins to add both fiber and nutrients.

Some of the staples in the freezer...

Frozen berries: When it's during the local growing season, I only get fresh berries. During the other months of the year, I make sure to always keep a supply of frozen cherries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries in the freezer to add to high fiber cereal, smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese

Frozen chicken breasts: These are really convenient for quick meals by adding them to chicken sandiwches or wraps

Grass-fed burgers, steaks, and ground beef: Although it is ideal to stay away from red meat, if yo can't, go for grass-fed meats. These grass-fed meats have, according to studies, the same or higher amount of omega-3s than salmon (and there's no mercury). You also get more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) than with the typical grain-fed beef.

Alright, now the staples in my cabinets...

An assortment of antioxident-rich teas, such as rooibos, green, oolong, and white.

Whole grain spelt or whole wheat pasta: These pastas are much higher in fiber than normal pastas

Steel cut oats and oat bran: These are higher in fiber than those little packs of instant oats.

Cans of coconut milk: Just be sure to transfer these to a container in the fridge after you open them.

Higher fiber rice such as brown rice: NEVER white rice

Tomato sauces: Absolutely delicious, and they are a great source of lycopene. The only thing to avoid are the ones that are loaded with nasty high fructose corn syrup.

Stevia - a natural non-caloric sweetener, is an excellent alternative to the nasty chemical-laden artificial sweeteners like sucralose, aspartame, and saccharine

Raw honey: Raw is definitely better (much better) than processed. You get more enzymes and beneficial nutrients. In addition, honey has been shown to improve how you process carbs (glucose metabolism). I like to put a teason or so every morning in my teas. Although it is pure sugar, it has several nutritional benefits. A teaspoon of healthy raw honey is only 5 grams of carbs, which is really onthing to worry about.

Organic maple syrup: Make sure it states on the bottle that it is organic. If it's not at your local store, I'm sure you'll find it online. When I use maple syrup it's usually for my after-workout smoothies to move nutrients into my muscles from a little sugar rush.

Organic unsweetened cocoa powder: Mix it into your smoothies for an extra jolt of antioxidants or even make a low-sugar hot-cocoa beverage by mixing hot milk with cocoa powder and adding stevia and a couple of melted dark chocolate chunks.

Cans of kidney or black beans: Beans are one of the best sources of youth-promoting antioxidants, amazingly. Go ahead and add a couple scoops to yours Mexican wraps for high nutrition content and fiber.

Last but not least is having a variety of fresh fruits. Pears, apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, etc. Also remember the fruits that are strong in antioxidants like: raspberries, strawberries, cherries, and blackberries, and blueberries.
