HEALTHY SNACKS II

 

IMPORTANT TIPS

• Healthy snacks should be balanced and satisfying and include a mix of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
•  Choose snacks that are easy to prepare and portable, so you can take them with you on the go.
• Healthy snacks should be nutritious, satisfying, and easy to prepare. Choose snacks that are high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats and low in added sugars and refined carbohydrates.
• Be sure to stay hydrated throughout the day and listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues.
• Choose snacks that are balanced and nutrient-dense and include a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
• Be sure to practice portion control and listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues.

You can choose to have all or some of the snacks on this list, and you can always add your favorite vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, fish, or dairy products to them. 

Spices and salt can be added to your food at your discretion, or they can be forced upon you. For the bread, I advise wholemeal.
