Whip it good!

I'm sitting in class, when I whip one out.

No, not that.  Or that.

It's my perfect portable protein!  When I have class at night, I need snackage.  Typically it's a PB&J, which my classmate commented as a " brilliant" idea, but other times it's guacamole or a veggie patty on a whole wheat English muffin.  Either way, it's a balanced snack or mini meal.  The English muffin provides fiber, whole grains as well as a bit of protein. Nut butters provide fat and protein, and guacamole provides heart healthy fat too, and avocado.  (Avocados are awesome because they are rich in vitamin E and monounsaturated fat.). Either way, it's a pretty foolproof healthy eating idea.  It requires minimal planning and prep, just add items to this weeks grocery list and make your perfect portable the morning of or the night before.   It's also a money and waist saver, so you're not buying something last minute or something unhealthy that you didn't want.

Also, how often can you whip one out and someone thinks you're brilliant for doing so??
