Eating healthy seems like an easy thing to do, but when it comes to snacks, it can actually be pretty hard. It's especially difficult if you don't particularly like the taste of quinoa, or if the idea of lentils totally scares you. If any of this sounds familiar, have no fear! With the help of my excessively picky little sisters, I put together a list of healthy snacks that are surprisingly easy to make and don't taste like they're made exclusively from hemp seeds. Enjoy!

1. Microwave Popcorn

Popcorn is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated foods hiding in your pantry these days. Most people reserve popcorn for the movies, but it is incredibly easy to make at home. And the best part is, you can eat A LOT of it without feeling like you've completely abandoned your diet. Pro tip: buy a brand of popcorn with less butter/salt and season it yourself at home! Sprinkle on light soy sauce or a little bit of parmesan for a satisfyingly guilt-free snack.

2. Rice Cakes with Peanut Butter

My little sister who doesn't give a flying f**k about eating healthy willingly makes this for breakfast all the time. Rice cakes are delicious and low-cal, and peanut butter contains essential healthy fats. When put together, this duo is pure magic. If you don't believe me, try it out for yourself!

3. Sushi

It's really easy to grab takeout sushi on your way home from work, but it's even easier to make it yourself! To make a homemade avocado roll, all you need is seaweed, rice, and an avocado. There are tutorials online that show you exactly how to craft the roll, but it only takes a few minutes and is a perfect little snack or meal for when you don't have time to cook.

4. Hummus and Assorted Vegetables

Hummus is another super underrated food in my opinion. It's also super easy to pick up from the supermarket and have in your fridge all the time. Another plus, literally anything tastes good when you dip it in hummus. This makes for a great way to trick yourself into eating a lot of vegetables- and feel good about it.

5. Acai Bowl

If you aren't lucky enough to have an acai bowl shop near you, never fear! These can be surprisingly easy to make on your own. Acai smoothie mix is sold in bulk in most groceries stores, so all you need to do is mix that up, add your favorite combo of fruit, granola, and honey on top, and enjoy!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
