13 Tips To Make Snacking Healthier Right Now

Make Interesting And Creative Snacks That Keep You Full Longer

Rather than reaching for those simple carb treats that offer little nutritional value and cause the blood sugar to crash, select and make healthier snacks that are balanced nutritionally and include complex carbs, protein, fiber, and healthy fats (weeding out the junk food that causes spikes in blood sugar will gradually create less craving for them). Some examples of healthy balanced snacks include fruits, nuts, low-fat cheese, yogurt, pea pods, vegetables. Combine some of these ingredients for a healthy and creative snack. For example, try adding some fruits and nuts to yogurt, or vegetables to a trail mix. Aim for approximately two hundred calories and only eat to the point of feeling pleasantly satisfied, never to the point of being uncomfortably full.
