Smart Snacking During the Holidays

This post was sponsored by Optimum Nutrition as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

During the holiday season, I am always rushing around to get all of my shopping done for presents, or supplies for our holiday parties before the kids get out of school for break. With only two weeks left before Winter break, I need to start checking off items on my to-do list! 

It never fails then when I’m in a hurry and out running errands I always forget to eat and then I’m left with no other option than fast food. But this year will be different! This year I’ll be prepared with my protein snacks from Optimum Nutrition. With a wide variety of snacks to choose from, there’s something for everyone – Cake Bites, Protein Almonds, Protein Crisps. Not only did I pack my purse with these snacks, I also kept them in my gym bag and in my car.

My husband even grabbed a few! He is a construction manager and is often traveling betweent the different job sites with little time to stop and eat. He loved the Chocoalte Peanut Butter and Red Velvet Cake Bites. Each have 20 grams of protein per serving, so they were exactly what he needed to keep him going during busy work days.

Of all the snacks I tried, the Protein Almonds were my personal favorite. I’m not sure that I can choose a favorite between the Cinnamon Roll and Dark Chocolate Truffle flavors. Both of them were so good! And with 10 grams of protein per serving, they kept me full between meals. 

Whether you are out shopping, busy at work, or just need to stick to your diet during the holidays Optimum Nutrition protein snacks can help you stay on track with your health goals now and in the new year! You can purchase all of the snacks that I’ve mentioned in-store at your local Walmart.
