Soccer Sunday

Today is my last double header Sunday this spring with both a co-rec and a women’s league game on the schedule.

I’ve had a blast playing on two leagues this season, but at times it’s been hard to find the energy for two games in one day! Sometimes at the end of our team’s game I get asked to guest play in the game right after mine, and there is only time for a quick snack before getting back out on the field. If the team is asking for players, that means they probably don’t have subs either! Energy boost required.

I took the Sargento Balanced Breaks snacks to my games a few weeks ago to have as a snack in between matches. I didn’t want anything sloshy or too filling in my stomach but I needed some protein to help tide me over to lunch. The Balanced Breaks snacks have natural cheese, crunchy roasted nuts and sweet dried fruits for a perfect combination of taste and nutrition. Plus they have 7 grams of protein for less than 200 calories in each cute little snack tray. No need for a plate! Thus, these were the perfect wholesome sideline snack. {Photo credit goes to Rachel!

The natural white cheddar cheese with almonds and cranberries is my fav (love the salted almonds!), but the pepper jack flavor comes in as a close second : ) You can find Balanced Breaks snacks in the dairy aisle – each package includes three snack trays for $3.69.

Steve said “tasty!!”

Here’s to hoping for two wins today and a great transition into the summer season!
