Super Snacks
Find yourself reaching for a mid-morning pastry (or two!) to get you through to lunch? Need a caffeine – and chocolate-boost when that afternoon slump hits? You might be hitting empty because you didn’t fill up with powerful choices at your last meal or snack.
Protein-rich snacks can give you the energy that you need to get through your busy day. And protein helps you feel satisfied – and that helps manage the munchies!
Next time you need a pick-me-up, reach for a snack with a little protein and power through your day. Some super snack suggestions:
- ½ lean roast beef sandwich on whole wheat
- Veggies with hummus
- Fresh fruit and a chunk of Cheddar cheese
- Peanut butter on whole grain crackers
- Hard boiled egg and orange juice
- Yogurt and frozen berry smoothie
- Roasted soy nuts and a glass of chocolate milk
- Beef jerky and a vegetable juice
