Here’s a few of my favourite snacks, instead of chocolate and biscuits.
Cherry tomatoes are a fantastic snack alternative because they are small, tasty and offer important nutrients. You can pick cherry tomatoes almost anywhere. Tomatoes are low in Sodium, and very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. They’re also an interesting source of Vitamin E Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of Dietary Fibre, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Potassium and Manganese. Easy to buy easy to store and easy to eat.
Fruit smoothies are an interesting alternative for anyone who wishes a
quick, nutrient packed snack. You can combine all kinds of fruits like strawberries, blueberries and bananas for a delicious fruit smoothie. You can do a selection to make your own fruit smoothies at home or buy of your local smoothie store. There are loads of brands of smoothies on the market some cheap and some not so cheap.
The benefit of making your own smoothies is that you know exactly the content, and you can save yourself a small fortune too!
Sliced chicken breast is a beneficial snack to include in your dietary regimen. Get a few pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts, grill or BBQ them and slice them up. You can place some spices to the chicken breasts and maintain a plate of them in the fridge for a quick snack. Cold sliced chicken breast tastes delicious and is high in protein, low in fat and has virtually no carbs. Chicken breast can be eaten hot or cold.
Sliced apples are an interesting snack to eat anytime. Blend a little natural peanut butter and you obtain a sweet protein packed snack to fuel your body through the day. This fantastic fruit with fibre, flavonoids, and fructose is the apple; the apple has the skill of keep us healthy. Apples are a good source of dietary fibre and vitamin C.
Almost all the apple’s fibre is contained in its skin so you should select organically grown apples whenever possible. This is to avoid the pesticides that can harm the apple.
Tuna fish is an agile and easy high protein snack to eat anytime. Just blend a can of water-packed Albacore tuna with a tablespoon of mayonnaise and you have a snack that contains over 30 grams of protein!
Tuna fish is a fantastic source of lean protein, vitamins and minerals. It can also help lower blood pressure and cholesterol. The investigations demonstrated that omega-3 fatty acids can help lower the risk of heart disease, ease the pain of arthritis, reduce asthma complications, and is important in the growth and development of young children. Protein is very important to build lean muscle mass and giving the body with energy. The protein in tuna provides all basic amino acids required by the body for growth and maintenance of lean muscle tissue. The protein in tuna and all other fish protein are considered to be a complete protein sources.
The protein in tuna is of high quality and it can be used to keep an active metabolism, after, it will work to lose weight. Low quality protein contains low amounts of the important amino acids required for use in protein synthesis and means the protein must either be used for energy or converted to fat.
