Snacking keeps your energy levels stable and keeps you focused, so you can go through busy days. There are certain rules of healthy snacking that can make your life easier. Of course, start with finding wholesome foods that will satisfy your appetite and provide powerful nutrients to fuel your body and mind and keep you motivated during the day.

The concept that you have to stop eating between meals does not necessarily apply to healthy living. You simply need to rethink what you snack on and how you approach your daily eating routines. Being smart with your snack choices and making little changes in what you eat count. Avoiding processed snack foods packed with sugar is the first step to a new start. 

The first secret is to aim for a balanced snack, as proteins and fiber help you feel full and will hold you over until your next big meal for the day. The second secret is to be present while you snack. Give yourself time to really enjoy the flavors. The third secret is in planning. On your weekly grocery run, replace cookies, chips, crackers, candies, etc. with fresh fruits, nuts and seeds, so you’re prepared when it’s time to snack. 

Snacks play a vital part in your daily nutrition — they help provide you with enough energy to perform at your best. Snack when you’re a little hungry, don’t do it just because it’s part of your daily routine; It’s easier to keep it simple. If you’re busy, some yummy on-the-go snacks require minimal preparation:

Here are some easy snacks to include in your busy lifestyle.

The great thing about Energy Balls is they are so versatile. You can take your pick from our four flavours. 

They’re not only delicious, but they are packed with protein, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates and fiber. 

Dried fruits contain more fiber and more of the antioxidants called phenols than fresh fruit, per ounce. One serving can provide a large percentage of the daily recommended intake of many vitamins and minerals, such as folate. Several studies have shown that people who eat dried fruit tend to weigh less and ingest more nutrients.

Try our Wellness Trios and Exotic Dried Fruits for a quick bite.

They’re a good source of fiber, healthy fats, and plant protein. Plus, they’re great on their own, paired with fruit, or added to granola bars, energy balls or smoothie bowls. Nuts are also super convenient snacks, and you should stock up on different nuts around the house and in your office to avoid reaching for sugary treats. 

Try our Wellness trios that provide for your individual snack or our Power Pads where nuts are part of a very powerful combo that boosts your energy.
