A Quick Crunch
If you’re looking for a quick pick me up, these healthy snacks are easy & healthy.
• Almonds are packed with nutrients like magnesium & B vitamins, which help with fatigue, irritability & poor concentration. Grab 1 serving (about 23 nuts) for a quick boost of energy & a great crunch.
• Pistachios are a powerhouse snack packed with flavor, protein, and fiber. 25 pistachios have just 100 calories, so grab some to go when you need a quick snack that provides energy.
• Popcorn is a great substitute for chip lovers who want to avoid empty/high calorie snacks. It’s a whole grain, which means it has plenty of fiber to help keep you full & satisfied. Just make sure to ditch flavored popcorn or popcorn that’s salt & butter heavy. Ideally, you’d pop your own & season with herbs & spices, but you can also opt for an unsalted microwave brand.
Light & Substantial
