Charlene and her husband got into a major argument. He stormed out of the house. She ate 6 packs of Trader Joe’s Seaweed snacks that she fortunately had in her cabinets.

We all inevitably fall off track and, during those times, many of us turn to food. If Charlene hadn’t stocked her cabinets with seaweed snacks, she would have turned to  some unhealthy, processed snack, like she did in the past. The next morning she would have woken up feeling M I S E R A B L E. In contrast, the next morning, she woke up feeling light and attended the 6AM yoga class, which is exactly what she needed.

Here are a few suggestions of snacks you should have readily available, which you can quickly turn to in an emotional jam:

• Joosbites
• Trader Joe’s Roasted Seaweed Snacks
• Sunspire grain sweetened chocolate chips
• Joellyn Cooney’s Banana Peanut Butter Treat (cut bananas into chunks, smear natural peanut butter on one end and roll that end into flax seed. Freeze)
• Jonathan Meizler’s Chocolate Sorbet (Place unsweetened chocolate almond milk with sliced bananas in Tupperware in the freezer. Can add a tsp of agave. After frozen, place in blender. Can also add other types of fruits.)
• Erehorn Cereals (with almond milk)

I’d love to hear your suggestions!
