“I eat clean because I truly believe that my body requires real, whole foods and not chemicals. Sure, I slip up from time to time _ it’s hard not to in this day and age. However, whenever I eat clean it makes me feel energetic, healthy and proud of myself. I wanted an easy-to-make snack that I could go to in a pinch. I love crunchy food, but I wanted something healthier than a bag of chips.”
