5 body friendly snacks
It is official, snacks are good for us. By eating often and at regular intervals, we keep our energy levels up, our metabolism revved and our blood sugar level consistent.
By steering off processed snacks that are high in fat, sugar and salt and opting for more body-friendly options, you will stay healthy and trim. Try out our 10 pick for the season.
- for something savory ….take pop corn air-popped popcorn is low in fat and surprisingly high in fibre.
- For something greasy……try sweet potatoes fries. sweet potatoes also contain fibre which stabilizes blood sugar and stops you from craving more junk food later on
- For something healthy but filling…..apple slices with peanut butter. Spread no-added-sugar peanut butter on apple slices for a combination loaded with protein.
- for something milky….a skimmed –milk hot chocolate. This tasty treat ticks the chocolate box but its also an excellent source of calcium and protein which makes it a nutrient- rich choice.
- for something easy…..Greek yoghurt…it is high in protein and low in sugar and a study has found that those who eat three servings a day have a healthier body weight than those who don’t eat greek yoghurt
