There’s nothing worse than when the midday hunger pops up and it’s not quite time for dinner yet. You can lead a healthy lifestyle and snack long as you don’t overdo it and make good choices. Snacks should have protein, fiber, calcium, and antioxidants, helping you feel full and satisfied. If you’re looking to be healthy, here are five snacks to eat next time you’re feeling hungry.
Nuts
A handful of nuts is one of the best snacks when you’re feeling hungry. Nuts are a healthy fat and they contain lots of fiber and vitamins. If you like sweet and salty, pair nuts with dried fruit.
Yogurt
Yogurt is another satisfying snack that has calcium and will help keep you feeling full. Pair Greek yogurt with chopped nuts and honey or some fresh fruit and honey.
Veggies and Hummus
Veggies are super low in calories, so you can eat a ton of them while sticking to a healthy diet. Cut some peppers, cherry tomatoes, celery, cucumbers, and carrots and dip them into hummus for a nutritious snack.
Fruit and Nut Butter
Apples and bananas pair so nicely with nut butter, and the higher fat content in nut butter will keep you feeling full.
Hard-Boiled Egg
Get your omega-3s, protein, vitamins, and healthy fats with hard-boiled eggs. You’ll feel like you’re eating a proper meal and you’ll be satisfied for hours.
