4 Healthy Snacks to Whip Up

3. Protein boosters
Protein keeps you full for longer. If your day is busy and you have no time to waste, we recommend you should give preference to snacks that include protein. Make a couple of sandwiches with lean meat. You can use tinned fish instead. If you are a vegetarian, then let your snack include avocado or various seeds, such as sesame, pumpkin or sunflower seeds. Some might like low-fat cheese sticks or a small amount of almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts.

4. Guilt-free carbs
Those of us who follow diets know that we should avoid carbs. Some exclude potatoes, pasta and rice from their menus. However, carbs are necessary for energy and we will never feel good enough if we stay on a low-carb diet for too long. Actually, sweet potatoes will never ruin your diet, especially if eaten baked. They will only provide you with energy, potassium, iron, calcium and other nutrients. Do not forget to eat starchy vegetables in moderation and enjoy veggies that can be eaten raw. Have a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetable in the fridge just in case you feel it’s time for a snack!
