When it comes to snacking, it can sometimes be frowned upon due to the large number of unhealthy, processed snack options in grocery stores, convenience stores and vending machines. However, snacking doesn't always have to be a bad thing. If you are hungry, you should feed and nourish your body. You just have to make the right choices and choose healthier snacking options to keep in your car or desk at work.
- Seeds: pumpkin and sunflower seeds are great options
- Dried Fruit: a quick option for a sweet treat, just watch the nutrition label for no added sugar
- Nut Butter: try eating with crackers, fruit or just by the spoonful. Be cautious that the serving size for nut butters is just 2 tablespoons
- Low-Sodium Jerky: a great, high protein snack. Look for low or no-sodium options
- Air-Popped Popcorn: a great,tasty snack that is quick to make. Try adding seasonings for flavor over salt and butter
- Plain Oatmeal Packs: a great warm snack for the cold winter months. Be sure to buy the non-flavored packs as the flavored options pack a lot of extra sugar.
- Raw Nuts: a quick healthy snack option with a healthy serving of protein and fat
- Tuna Pouches: good source of protein and Omega-3s
- DIY Trailmix: try adding together those raw nuts, seeds and dry fruit for a little homemade trail mix!
