Did you know that heart disease is the #1 killer of women? But there are snack ideas to help you alleviate that!
Eighty percent of women between the ages of 40 to 60 have one or more risk factors of heart disease! Whoah! That’s me! I am 47 years old and need to be aware of those risk factors and want to make sure all other women are aware too.

I love all of the fruits and veggies ideas! I could seriously munch on those all day! Thanks for sharing your heart-healthy snack ideas with us at Merry Monday!
I’m under 40, but it’s never too early to start thinking about healthy habits. I have a desk job, so I’m pretty inactive. I love salty snacks, so this is a great list of alternatives!
I love having a list of all the heart healthy snacks I do enjoy making my own chips and am trying to eat more fruits and veggies.
Thanks for stopping by!
I absolutely love banana chips, so good. If you ever have a chance to try Plantain Chips — you should try them too. Especially if they’re a little spicy. So good! 🙂
Oh, plantain chips sound like a must try. Thanks!
