5 Foods For A Super Healthy Snack
Snacks play an important role in our diets and health, but when they’re filled with things like sugar and fat, the role they play can be an unsavory one. The purpose of snacking is to take the edge off of hunger until the next mealtime. It isn’t to fill up on empty calories that make us eat less of the healthier foods we’d normally have for meals.
Rice Cakes
Long gone are the days of rice cakes that were reminiscent of tiny, little cardboard disks. Today there are numerous flavors to choose from with something for just about anyone’s taste.
Yogurt
There are hundreds of types and flavors of yogurt available. The trick is to find the one that’s best for you based on factors like taste and nutritional content such as fat and calories.
Popcorn
Popcorn, without the salt and movie theater butter, of course, is a great healthy snack that’s easy to make and simple to spruce up. An air-popper or microwave should be used rather than oil.
Veggies
Raw vegetables served with a delicious low-fat dip are a great treat. The simplest way to incorporate vegetables into your diet is to clean and slice them as soon as you buy them, or even better, as soon as they’re harvested from your garden.
Junk Food
Yes, even certain “junk foods” can be healthy, especially when you choose the right kind and the right portion. Permanently depriving yourself of something you enjoy may cause you to sabotage healthy eating habits and possibly eat more. Pretzels are an excellent snack since they’re low in calories and most have no fat.
