Sprint to Summer Challenge with Mr Shut Up and Train

Recently due some unforeseen circumstances, I had taken a detour from really focusing on losing weight. Now that things have changed, I’m able to get back on track with weight loss and continuing to live a healthy lifestyle. I came across a Facebook post for a FREE 21 day fitness challenge by Rahman Grayson, Mr Shut Up and Train, and I thought this would be a great way to get back in the groove and learn some new tips and tricks along the way. With a name like that, I figured this was what I needed to get serious again.

Healthy Snack: Celery Sticks with Almond Butter

If you are looking for a twist on a classic healthy snack, you might want to try my new favorite late night snack – celery sticks with almond butter. Since I try to limit my fruit intake after lunch time, I decided to try celery with almond butter instead of peanut butter to break the monotony. I had never tried almond butter before, and was pleasantly surprised to find it on the shelf of my local Walmart during a recent food shopping trip. Now I will forewarn you that almond butter does have a slightly grainy texture as opposed to creamy peanut butter, but it didn’t bother me especially with the crunch of the celery.

I was surprised that just three celery sticks and spoonful of almond would be that tasty and filling! All in all, this will be a staple snack for me. Next up is to try it with carrots :)
