Healthy Snacking
Healthy eating has always been a big topic of conversation. Eating healthy is especially a struggle for those who travel. As a food lover, who constantly noshes, it is a topic that is near and dear to my heart.
In my experience, though it is important to eat healthy for the main meals of every day, it is even more important to have snacks that are healthy in between. The word ‘snacking’ has been a sore subject in general. Snacking is usually associated with poor eating, but this is due to a person’s choice to not eat healthy. ‘Snacking’ simply means eating a smaller portion.
Regular healthy snacking keeps the blood sugar levels constant, therefore, significantly reducing the temptation to overeat during mealtime.
Eating healthy is a choice. This is another great thing about ‘snacking’. There are numerous choices, and an infinite combination that will suit everyone’s tastes, needs, moods, and preferences.
A healthy combination would consist of protein, carbohydrates, and even fiber. A good rule of thumb would be ‘keep it simple and tasty’. There are endless combinations that are available, so here are some sample pairings to get you started:
Protein Carbohydrates
Milk Cereal
Yogurt Fruits
Hazelnut Spread Pretzels
Peanut Butter Crackers
Brie Toast
Roast Beef Pita
These are easy to prepare and pack, and more importantly are tasty and nutritious. Also, snacking is something to give you a lift in the middle of the day, and carry you until the next meal.
Include healthy snacking in your weekly grocery shopping, and let your creativity take flight with food. Remember to keep it simple and in small portions.
Happy Snacking!
