Healthy Snacking
Snacks can (and often should) be a part of a healthy meal plan. Organized snacks can help prevent overeating at the next meal and/or picking on food in between meals.
Here are some tips to add snacks to your day in a healthy way:
๐ Plan your snacks ahead of time. Put together the snacks for the day in the morning or evening when you arenโt hungry so you can make a mindful decision. ๐ Have scheduled snack times to prevent grazing all day and keeping mindfulness. ๐ Combine a complex carbohydrate along with a protein or fat to promote satiety.
Some easy to prepare snack examples:
๐ฅ Apple with peanut butter ๐ฅ Greek yogurt with fruit and sunflower seeds ๐ฅ Carrots with Hummus ๐ฅ Whole grain crackers with cheese ๐ฅ Handful of nuts and fruit ๐ฅ ยฝ Almond butter sandwich on whole grain bread ๐ฅ Hard boiled egg and fruit ๐ฅ 1/2 an avocado with salt/pepper
