It has been pretty busy over here at the Lopez residence the past few days. First, we finally received our professional wedding photographs shipped from St. Lucia- more on that in a minute! Next, my roommate from college, Nicole, flew in from NYC and stayed with us over the past weekend. She was visiting New Orleans because we had a couple bridal parties to attend for our friend Lori (we are both bridesmaids in her October wedding).
The above picture is of Nicole and I with the bride-to-be at her bridal shower. Of course, I had a wonderful time with everyone and we are counting down the days until the next bridal party event- the bachelorette party is in NYC over Labor Day!
After living together for four years during college, my passion for nutrition definitely rubbed off on Nicole. Can you believe she did not know what fiber was until she moved in with me?! After almost a full day spent at the airport due to flight delays, Nicole showed up to my house with a couple healthy snacks she picked up at the airport. I was impressed with what she choose for snacks considering it can be a challenge to find healthy snacks at the airport.
First, she grabbed a bag of Popchips in place of regular potato chips. Have you tried Popchips yet?
It was my first time trying Popchips and I thought they were delicious. They contain >50% less fat than regular, fried potato chips and about a quarter less calories!
The other nutritional impressive snack she pulled out was dried mango. You definitely have to be careful with dried fruits because some products contain lots of added sugar. This particularly brand’s only ingredient was organic mangos!
The dried mango was delicious but very chewy. My only gripe is that it got stuck in my teeth while eating! While I’m flying, I usually pack a couple snacks like a handful of nuts or a Larabar to hold me over until the next meal. What is your “go-to” snack while traveling?
Before I go, here are some of my favorite wedding pictures…
Hope everyone is having a great week! Till next time 
Kasey
I LOVE your wedding photos!!!
OMG -SUCH AMAZING photos. I don’t even remember what this post was about after seeing your pics. I hope you’ll share more!!
Wow! You look gorgeous! It looked like such a beautiful wedding!
I have seen that dried fruit, I want to say, at Starbucks. My favorite snacks to pack on vacation are usually Larabars or KIND bars. They are super portable!
thanks for sharing your wedding pics, I love the black and white ones and the very last one too! beautiful Kasey, and how fun!
Love the pics!! Thanks for some new ideas for on the go snacks. I am always looking for new things. I usually have a kind bar in my purse as a snack!!! I am ready to go back to St. Lucia!!!!!!!
Oh WOW. I have such massive goosebumps right now. These pictures are beautiful. You look amazing and the photography is outstanding!!! Thanks for sharing these with us!
So yeah, hearing that someone doesn’t know what fiber is really doesn’t surprise me anymore! People tell me the craziest things, and I swear they all live by Dr. Oz.
I have never tried those peeled fruits but we sell them at Giant Eagle. I bet they are the perfect snack! I like to travel with the Kashi TLC bars, or MOJO bars, or prunes. haha I love them!
I am glad that i found your site, there are a couple of interesting articles
