A quick healthy snack is one that is light yet filling, and provides essential nutrients to keep you energized throughout your day. It should be easy to make and take with you on-the-go. Some great options for quick healthy snacks are:
• Fruit. Fresh or dried fruit is a great snack that is full of vitamins and minerals. Apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, and blueberries are all easy to transport and are filled with natural sugars and fiber to help you stay full.
• Trail mix. Combining nuts, seeds, and dried fruit is a great way to get a mix of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. Make your own trail mix with your favorite ingredients or purchase pre-made.
• Hummus and veggies. Hummus is a great source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber, and is a great dip for crunchy vegetables like carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
• Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is packed with protein and probiotics to support digestion. Top with fresh fruit or a mix of nuts and seeds for a tasty snack.
• Hard-boiled eggs. Eggs are a great source of protein and are easy to transport. Hard-boiled eggs make a great snack when you’re on the go.
• Popcorn. Air-popped popcorn is a great source of fiber and can be topped with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, sea salt, or your favorite herbs and spices for a tasty snack.
No matter which snack you choose, make sure it’s something you enjoy and that will provide the nutrients you need to stay energized and motivated throughout the day.
