Most Satisying Post-Workout Snacks

It's a common situation: You'll get in from the gym, half-starved and ready to eat whatever you can find. But since you just got finished working out you don't want to blow your calories, and yet a celery stalk doesn't exactly satisfy those cravings. I'm here to tell you that there is a way to eat healthy, filling, and yummy foods — just keep on reading.

Avocado Toast


I'm starting off with my favorite healthy snack, it's so delicious I could eat it twice a day. As hard as it is for me to not turn the avocado into guacamole, it's worth it after you try this snack. The avocado/multigrain bread combo gives you just the right mixture of healthy fats and complex carbohydrates to keep you full and happy for hours after your workout. Just take your desired amount of avocado and smash it onto toast with a dash of pepper and lemon juice.


Hummus and Veggies


This is one of the best snacks for you. Hummus is an ultra tasteful and healthy dip made of chickpeas, tahini, and various spices. Not only do the veggies give a nice crunch, but the chickpeas pack in protein necessary in keeping your stomach fuller, longer.


Almond Butter Banana Nut Wrap


As you might have noticed by now, the best snacks are protein bases with a fruit or veggie pairing, and this snack is no exception. This snack is ultra portable for on the go. All you need is a multigrain tortilla, almond butter, one banana, and nuts of your choosing. The nuts and almond butter will deliver protein while the banana will help you get in your daily dosage of fruit.


Kale, Berry, and Acai Chia Power Smoothie


Smoothies with kale can get a bad rep, but just give this one a try. With the acai and berries, you can't even taste the kale but the nutrients are still a great bonus. The acai berries add beneficial antioxidants, as well as healthy omega fats, amino acids, and fiber while the chia seeds adds heart-healthy, omega-3 fatty acids.

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.
