Nutrition Tip: Up Your Snacking to a New Level

Ever snack and still feel hungry 30 minutes later? The problem? Your snacks might not be as balanced or filling as they could be.

Let's fix that with 5 simple steps to create the ultimate snack plate! 

1.  Choose a Protein
Protein keeps you full helping you avoid that mid-afternoon hunger crash. Examples:

  • Hard-boiled eggs 
  • Turkey slices 
  • Cheese 

 

2.  Add Veggies
Veggies are naturally low in calories, so they fill you up without overloading on empty calories. Examples:

  • Cucumbers
  • Carrot sticks
  • Snap peas

3.  Fresh Fruit
Fruits contain fiber, vitamins, and hydration. Examples:

  • Grapes
  • Sliced apples 
  • Kiwi

4.  Healthy Fats
Fats add creaminess and a satisfying texture to your snack, making it feel more indulgent. Examples:

  • Avocado slices 
  • Almonds
  • Olives 

5.  Something Fun!  

  • Fun treats avoid overindulging later plus they make you happy! Examples:
  • Dark chocolate
  • Pretzels
  • Mini cookies
