Check out these ideas for quick and easy guilt-free snacks for busy moms.

Working from home is an interesting thing. When I first started blogging full-time, I had two little ones at home with me. In retrospect, I’m really not certain how I managed to get so much work done while still balancing play dates, meal prep, early educational activities, nap times, tantrums, etc. With both kids in school full-time, it’s different. On most days, the house is silent, and I sit at my desk typing away for hours. One thing I sometimes forget to do as I’m busy writing blog posts, taking and editing photographs, sending emails — is eat! And when I do eat, sometimes I make poor choices out of convenience and saving time. Grab a granola bar and a handful of chips, a bite of the kids’ birthday cake or some other random dessert, restaurant leftovers that I throw in the microwave. These are not good choices, so it’s time I start making better choices, with some guilt-free snacks!

Here are five awesome guilt-free snacks for busy moms:

1/2 cup sliced berries + 1 ounce of nuts {cashews are my favorite, but almonds are a great option}
Raisins or dried cranberries + 2 slices of turkey breast
1 ounce of whole grain crackers + 1 individual cup of Pearls Olives to Go!®
1 ounce of cheese + 1 apple
1 cup of yogurt + 1 ounce granola

Each of these snacking combinations requires minimal prep {just as fast as grabbing that handful of chips or bite of leftover cake} and is a good-for-you snacking option. I enjoy doing delicious salty and sweet combinations, so you can mix them up to make the perfect snack! Looking to try something new? Pearls Olives to Go!® are now available in three new flavors – Italian Herb, Sriracha, and Taco. I grabbed a package of the Italian Herb and Sriracha to try. Each 1.2-ounce cup is just 30 calories, so this is definitely a guilt-free snack option. They are also keto-friendly, plant-based, gluten-free, and vegan – Perfect for so many different diets! Pearl Olives to Go!® are available on Amazon, so you can get them shipped directly to your home.
