During this pandemic some of us might have veered from our normal healthy dietary and exercise lifestyle. Some of us used this time to eat better and exercise in different ways than going to the gym.
Snacking on chips, cookies, soda and ‘ sugar’ not only leads to weight gain but contributes to chronic health conditions. There are healthier snacks during this pandemic
Some of these include is a protein bar. There are many on the market. You must be ‘picky’ You must watch out for hidden carbs and low protein I like the Perfect Almond Butter Bar which has 13 grams of protein. I do think the sugar content is a bit high but most of the bars on the market have high sugar. You must find a bar with adequate protein and low net carbs. The Atkins Advantage Bar had the right combination
I LOVE healthy trail mix with few dried fruit and chock full of nuts ( not the coffee). I love it to contain almonds, walnuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds and few cashews. Trader Joe’s has the right one for me called Omega Trek Mix It is crunchy and a great way to satisfy my sugar craving.
The last healthy snack is low glycemic fruits. These are all kinds of berries. These have high antioxidant and low sugar content. I sometimes melt 3 squares of dark chocolate over the blueberries
Until tomorrow…
