Bite Size Foods are Fun & Easy!

Bite Size is the Right Size!

When I was a kid, I loved bite size foods. Naturally, they were the same size as my hands and my appetite. Now that I’m an adult, my hands are larger but I still love bite size. Watch for trendy food options these days that are bite size, and take it from a nutritionist — the small portion is a big plus!

Bite Size Options!

Muffins: To make bite size, spoon out your extra batter in a mini muffin pan like I did and just fill the empty spaces with some water so the pan won’t burn. Or, up your output and use a recipe for 12 regular size muffins but get 18-24 out of the mini muffin pan. Here’s my awesome Pumpkin Muffin Recipe to try it out.

Meatloaf: Here’s a cool way to portion-out dinner meatloaf.  The recipe for Meatloaf Muffins with Barbecue Sauce is written in a family-friendly way to get kids cooking with mom, dad or an older sibling. It freezes and reheats great as well.

Breakfast Eggs: This can be a huge time saver in the morning. Think of it – make several days of breakfast at once and then dine on a nutritious and filling morning meal by simply re-warming. This recipe for Egg Muffins has sausage, spinach and cheese in it so make it per the recipe, adjust to a vegetarian style or change up the green veggie.

Other Bite Size!

There are so many bite size foods that just come that way or require a tiny bit of preparation. Enjoy tasty and healthy snacks, desserts, bag lunches and picnic fixings you can create from these: grape tomatoes; grapes; baby carrots; nuts; Edamame aka soybeans; cheese cubes; pretzel ‘fish’; dark chocolate kisses; watermelon balls; hard boiled eggs; radishes; olives. The list goes on and on!

Make Bite Size the Right Size!

Measuring out portions of your foods can be boring and too much work. So, try adopting a bite size strategy. Learn from my tips above, make a recipe and get a grip on what it means to eat moderately for great enjoyment and great energy! My nutritional counseling services may be the spark you need to improve your personal nutrition and my menu planning/recipe ebooks may launch you to a healthier you!
