healthy snack idea

healthy snack idea

If you're trying to eat healthier snacks are an important part.

They can help keep blood sugar, keeping energy levels up, and help to prevent mood swings.

Here are some ideas for healthy snacks for all occasions:

# 1 When you get hungry
Even when you're trying to lose weight, it is not necessary to suffer hours of feeling hungry. Try a filling, healthy snack such as:

  • Small bowl of oatmeal topped with cinnamon and raisins
  • Small bowl of whole grain cereals with milk semi
  • Half integral filling sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and lean meat
  • Small bowl of plain yogurt topped with raspberries and a sprinkling of muesli

# 2 When your energy is flagging
These snacks will help you to animate, and carry you through until dinner:

  • Small bowl of fresh fruit with a spoonful of natural yogurt
  • Raw vegetables with reduced fat hummus sauce
  • A small handful of raw mixed nuts
  • Small handful mixed seed
  • Frozen berries with plain yogurt and 1 teaspoon honey
  • Rice cakes with 1-2 tablespoons of low fat cottage cheese

# 3 When you feel like a treat
Eat something you really enjoy from time to time may actually help continue a healthy eating plan for life. But instead of choosing the largest chocolate bar that you can find, to find something satisfactory, but much more nutritious:

  • A few squares of good quality black chocolate
  • Plain popcorn flavoring, seasoned with herbs instead of salt or candy
  • A small handful of dried fruit such as papaya, banana, peach, apricot, pineapple or
  • 1 / 2 cup 100% whole orange juice, frozen and eaten as sorbet
