Eat Smart Snacks
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to spend a lot of money on your diet to add a healthy snack. Peanuts, bananas, curd bowls, are delicious items that hold you fresh, without burning your pocket.
Who claims that in the middle of winter you can’t have berries. You have to buy and store in your freezer. Seasonal items are processed throughout the year, and cheap food substitutes are frozen later in the year.
Some processed foods that may be a healthier choice include:
- frozen fruits and vegetables.
- all varieties of low-sodium canned beans.
Go for healthy alternative of packaged foods
A bag of popcorn might cost a lot, but grab a bag of kernels for a buck. Put them in a large bowl, cover it with a plate and heat until the popping ends, or you can make it in a paper bag. Add some salt and the butter to a nutritious treat. Eaten in this manner, popcorn is a strong fibre source, low in fat and other advantages of all grains.
Instead of bagged chips and other packaged snacks, crunch an ounce of nuts. For only a slight difference in calories, you get protein, healthy fats and fiber.
