EATING HEALTHY AS A PICKY EATER

Life as a picky eater has not been easy, especially when it comes to eating healthy. Would I rather a bag of cheetos over apples and peanut butter? ABSOLUTELY. However, this isn't always the best choice to fuel your body. Your body runs better and keeps you going longer when you fuel it with good things for you. Here are a few of my favorite snacks and recipes:
