This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Withings, part of Nokia. All opinions are 100% mine.
If you missed my first Withings Steel post, you have to check out this stylish, you’d-never-know-it’s-an-activity-tracker watch. Basically, it syncs up by Bluetooth on the Health Mate app to track your daily activity. Whether you're running, swimming, or getting your heart racing with a dance or Zumba class every morning, it is counting every calorie, step, and time. You can even sync it up to other Withings products like the Body Cardio scale and track your progress.
Go ahead and set goals for yourself on the app to see how many steps you can get in before the day ends or see how many calories that run actually burned. It's entirely up to you and how you want to use it for your lifestyle needs. I personally have been using it to track my daily steps and distance travelled, which is surprisingly a lot higher than I initially thought. Win and win.

As for snacking, I chose 7 super simple and delicious snacks that are good enough to feel like an indulgence but REALLY are actually quite helpful for your efforts to stay healthy.
- Apple Slices + Nut Butter -
Slice up some apples, spread on the nut butter of your choice and sprinkle on some crunchy extras like sunflower seeds, chocolate chips (a few high-cacao content chocolate chips is way better than a piece of cake), and/or raisins. Get creative with your additions!

-Avocado Toast-
It's probably one of the easiest snacks to make, all you need is an avocado and the toast of your choice. I highly recommend sprinkling crushed red peppers but you can basically add whatever you want to top it.
