healthy snack mix

healthy snack mix

In today's hectic society, many of us spend most of our days working and driving times and places. It is often difficult to eat a healthy snack or even a healthy meal. Many of us rely on fast food restaurants give us our daily nutritional needs. That is not usually the best alternative healthy. However, for those of us who are willing, here are a couple of healthy snacks on the go.

The first healthy snack on Progress is granola. This is a fun little snack because you have the opportunity to add their favorite products. Some popular mixes include: dry cereal, nuts and dried fruits. When using dry cereal in the mixture of dried fruit, make sure you choose a cereal that is high in fiber and whole grains. Consuming this snack midmorning or evening you will feel healthier and give you an energy boost. Other good snacks on the go include raw vegetables and fresh fruits. To make the process easy cutting, can simply wash a large quantity of carrot sticks, celery, red peppers, and broccoli. This way you will not have to spend time washing of vegetables each day. Wash enough veggies to last three or four days. As for fruit, apples and pears are the easiest on the road snacks. However, if you want to be creative, you can always create a fun fruit salad.

And lastly, another healthy snack for people on the road is a bar energy. When looking to buy an energy bar, make sure you buy one that is low in calories, trans fats and saturated fats. Look for a bar that is high-carbohydrate, if you want an energy boost or a bar that is high in protein if you want something more filling. Energy bars, along with other foods mentioned above are great snacks for people on the move.

FRS Healthy Energy Powered Drink Mix comes in a box of single-serve stick packs. The packs are small, lightweight and easy to add to a water bottle. With just 10 calories each, they provide 250mg of quercetin in the lowest-calorie way to get FRS sustained energy. A DIFFERENT KIND OF ENERGY FRS's revolutionary blend of nutrients extends your body's natural energy, fueling you up when you need it while supporting your health over the long haul. There's no jittery feeling or roller-coaster ride - just prolonged energy that helps keep you focused and fully charged. That energy comes from our secret weapon, quercetin, an antioxidant found in foods like blueberries, apples and grapes. Its incredible ability to enhance your body's energy system is what keeps you feeling energized longer. Add a host of essential vitamins and you're ready to tackle anything from minor workouts to a major marathon. A single 11.5-ounce serving of FRS contains a healthy amount of quercetin, but one you'd have a hard time getting on your own; that is, unless you have a tendency to eat 40 apples in a single sitting. HOW TO USE FRS HEALTHY ENERGY For best results, take 2-3 servings per day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon and whenever you need extra energy. Athletes take 30 minutes before exercise. THE SCIENCE OF QUERCETIN Endurance and VO2max Study: Davis, Carlstedt et al. 2009 An independent, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study showed that when 12 healthy, active (but not highly trained) men and women consumed 500 mg of quercetin (QU995™) in an enriched drink mix twice daily for 7 days, they experienced a 13.2 % increase in endurance and a 3.9 % increase in VO2max (a typical measure of fitness). The study has been published online in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism.   Sports Performance Study: MacRae, H. and Mefferd, K. 2006 An independent, double-blind, placebo - controlled crossover study on the effect of FRS on cycling performance in eleven elite cyclists was completed at Pepperdine University and published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. The results were dramatic: a 3.1% increase in performance--one minute and 31 seconds improvement in time to complete a 30km simulated mountainous time trial.   Immune System Study: Neiman, David, Henson, DA, et al. 2007 A clinical study, funded in part by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) showed the antioxidant quercetin significantly reduced incidence of upper respiratory tract illness during the two week period following intensified exercise. Researchers also reported enhanced alertness and reaction time in athletes taking the quercetin supplement during high stress. Forty test subjects were subjected to extreme physical stress during a five week period. Half were given 1,000 mg of quercetin daily (the approximate amount in 3 servings of FRS) and half were given a placebo. Results showed:   Work Performance Study: Durak, E. and Bell, M. May 2005 During a six-week study, university employees were asked to perform their daily jobs, which required physical exertion, lifting, repetitive movements and attention to detail. At the end of the study, subjects experienced improvements in various measures of work performance, as measured in a Work Productivity Assessment Index survey.

  • Fueled by quercetin, a powerful antioxidant found in fruits and vegetables
  • Helps the body produce real energy, helps enhance fitness and supports the immune system
  • For best results, drink 2-3 servings per day
