KNOW ALL ABOUT HEALTHY SNACKING
Healthy snacking helps to limit your cravings and keeps you full throughout the day. Some of the options that you can choose are:
• Trail mix: It is a combination of nuts and dried fruits along with grains or dark chocolate. Although it is high on calories, one should be aware of the serving size but it makes for a very nutrient-dense snack.
• Apple slice with peanut butter: Apples are a good source of fibre and antioxidants that help reduce heart disease risk and improve gut health. Peanut butter helps to reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels also help increase the HDL cholesterol that has added benefits for our heart health.
• Greek yoghurt parfait: Greek yoghurt is a great source of protein and calcium. It is a filling and delicious snack with berries and granola on top for that added flavour and texture.
• Yoghurt dip and veggies: Veggies are great for snacking, but they lack protein so to increase your protein intake try to pair veggies with herbed yoghurt.
• Hard-boiled eggs: They make up for a great snack option as they are packed with protein and B vitamins along with some trace minerals and provide great satiety.
• Chia pudding: It has a high antioxidant value, improves heart health, reduces inflammation and is amazingly a very low-calorie snack.
• Whey protein shake: Being high on protein and low on calories makes for a good snack option that helps you lose your body fat percentage and gain muscle along with improving your overall body composition.
• Dried coconut: The tasty medium-chain fats that help increase your metabolism and improve brain functioning along with promoting weight loss.
You can choose from these options to fulfil your cravings, and avoid unnecessary unhealthy and fattening options to satisfy your taste buds.
