8 Quick, Easy & Healthy Snacks
Below are 8 easy and yummy snacks to help you reach your health and weight loss goals.
When you go too long without eating, you can become so hungry that you end up eating many more calories than you need... and you can become so hungry that you want to eat anything in sight, regardless of how unhealthy it is!
It might seem counterintuitive, but snacking is a good way to control your weight. Snacking in between meals is a good way to keep your appetite under control. And keeping your appetite under control helps you make healthy choices at meal times. The trick is to make sure your snacks are healthy!
Mixed Nuts
Nuts are rich in vitamins and minerals and are ideal for helping you maintain a healthy diet — which is an important part of losing weight.
Nuts are high in protein which helps you stay fuller between meals.
Sweet Tooth?
Choose fresh fruit or dried fruit.
Smoothies are are a great way to satisfy your sweet cravings and get a ton of nutrients in the one sitting.
Yoghurt
Be sure to look at the label and choose a yoghurt without any sugar or preservatives as they do not help weight loss.
