If you are on a diet you might find yourself hungry between meals and wanting to snack or, perhaps you are just looking to live a healthier life and you have heard of organic foods. Whatever your reasons for organic snacks, there are plenty of them available and knowing which ones are good for you is a good way to choose which organic snacks to fill your cupboards with.
Organic snacks are popular because not only are they packed full of vitamins and nutrients, they are also grown naturally without any chemicals making them environmentally friendly and much healthier for you than normal snacks. When you are looking at packaging of snacks be sure to look for the packaging that says organic on it – this way you can be sure that you are getting the organic snacks your body craves.
Here are a couple of organic snacks that are easy to find and that won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
- Raw fruits and vegetables.
It’s common knowledge that you should eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day but when is the right time to have one of these organic snacks?
The best time to snack on fruit and veg is about an hour before your meal – choose whatever fruit you like to eat and have one of these organic snacks (make sure they say organic) before your meal. This helps because it will reduce your appetite and when you have your meal you will actually eat less because you will feel fuller quicker.
- Mixed seeds and nuts
These are perfect organic snacks for carrying around with you wherever you are, especially if you lead a hectic life style. Carry seeds and nuts with you in your handbag and when you feel the hunger pains are starting to creep up, snack on a couple of them. Whether you like almonds or cashews – make sure you buy them raw and unsalted or whether you want seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds, these organic snacks are a great way to subdue your hunger until it is time to sit down and have a meal.
Raw pine nuts are also great organic snacks because they have less fat in them than most other nuts they are also rich in protein and very good for you.
- Smoothies
This is a great organic snack to get plenty of nutrients and anti oxidants. Buy some organic fruit or veg and put it all together in a blender with some yoghurt and honey and you have a great organic snack for any time of the day.
Banana, honey and vanilla makes a great combo.
- Rye bread and cottage cheese
Organic snacks don’t always have to be a small portion of food. If you feel like a sandwich you can have some rye bread, toasted or not, with some cottage cheese.
- Olives
Olives are also very healthy organic snacks and the green and black ones are both equally as good for you – just don’t eat too many. Olives have lots of essential fatty acids in them which are great for your body.
So if you are hungry, reach for some organic snacks and keep your body and the environment happy!
