With January behind us, it’s inevitable. Those trips to the gym start to dwindle, the fruit and veggie bins in our refrigerators aren’t quite as bountifully stalked and those sneaky sugary sweets start creeping back into our cupboards. But, just because we start backsliding doesn’t mean we have to stay there!

Try and find a way to make every month’s first day feel like the first day of January when it comes to your eating. Remember that ambition to skip the sweets and snack healthier?

To get you motivated for February, here are five incredibly easy snacks that you should keep in mind for whenever that afternoon starvation hits you and the only thing you can think of is a doughnut. These are some of my favorites, and as such are primarily all low calorie, low fat, and of course: organic!

1) My newest obsession is Oikos Greek yogurt by Stonyfield. This stuff is amazing! It’s the perfect texture for Greek yogurt. It doesn’t have that super-thick/grainy consistency that some do, but it’s definitely not runny. It’s simply exceptionally creamy and exquisitely smooooth.  I’m partial to the vanilla (with fresh blueberries), but it’s also available in honey and fruit flavors. I recommend one of the single 5.3 servings with a ¼ cup of your favorite fresh fruit tossed in. With 13 grams of protein in a serving, this will definitely fill you up. Only 110 calories and zero fat.

2) Hummus & Carrots. This is another combination that I think is to die for! Hummus is an excellent way to spice up your favorite veggie of choice (you won’t miss ranch, I promise) and provides you with fiber and protein to get you through the dreaded 3 p.m. hour. Tribe Organic Hummus is an excellent choice. Only 40 calories per 2 tablespoons; low cholesterol, low fat/saturated fat, and low sodium too!

3) Cottage Cheese Smoothies. I made these all the time when I was in college. They double as a meal or snack, depending on how much you make or how hungry you are. In a blender, combine crushed ice, low fat or fat free organic cottage cheese, a generous portion of your favorite fresh or frozen fruit(s), Stevia to taste, and a tsp. of organic vanilla extract. I really liked using oranges for an orange-julius style option (also very good with some banana thrown in), and my second favorite would be an assortment of berries: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc. Smoothies are very filling simply because of the quantity they take up, but the addition of cottage cheese really ups your protein intake and helps satisfy you for even longer.

4) LÄRABAR. These are absolutely my favorite go-to snack for carrying around in my purse. They are made entirely with fruits and nuts; there are no added sweeteners or fillers. And, they’re delicious. My favorite is the Apple Pie version. Omegas 3 and 6, 190 calories, 4 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.

5) If you’re really craving something more desert style, than I highly recommend Annie’s Bunny Grahams. They’re sweet and satisfying and completely erase the desire to go running for a chocolate bar or a piece of cheesecake. But they’re completely organic, have 0 grams of trans fat and are made with 100% whole grain wheat flour. They also have gluten free varieties available. My favorite part is that they’re small enough that you can eat them slowly and enjoy as many as 30 “bunnies” per serving and not have damaged your calorie count for the day. 130 calories for 27 cookies, includes 2 grams protein and 20% of your calcium!
