Five great options for a snack attack
Whether it's having a snack ready for after school or snacking in between meetings, relying on quick, processed foods can lead to binging on unhealthy alternatives later in the day. Planning ahead will help you focus on nutrient-rich snacks that manage your energy levels and assist you in following a healthy diet. Here are five great snack options that are both rich in goodness and delicious!
Plain greek yoghurt with mixed berries
Plain Greek yoghurt typically contains less sugar and artificial additives than its flavored counterparts. It also helps to keep you fuller for longer. We recommend adding some fresh berries to give it flavour and much-loved antioxidants.
Apple slices with sugar-free peanut butter
Apple slices with peanut butter can be a healthy and satisfying snack. With the apples providing sweetness and fiber and the peanut butter much needed protein, many consider this to be the perfect balance.
Hard boiled eggs
Hard boiled eggs are a great snack option. You can prepare them in advance and carry them with you making them super convenient. Plus the combination of protein and healthy fats in eggs will keep you full and satisfied, reducing the likelihood of overeating between meals.
Smoothies
Smoothies are an easy way to increase your fruit and vegetable intake. Depending on your taste you can include a mixture of green leafy vegetables and fruit. We recommend adding some plain Greek yogurt to the mix as this will keep you fuller for longer.
Roasted chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas are an easy to make, cost effective snack. You can eat them plain or zhuzh them up with your favourite spices. They are nutrient dense and assist both in sugar management and satiety. Keep in mind that they go soggy quite quickly so rather roast smaller batches and eat them immediately.
