It’s always breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner! But what about the in-between snacks? By having healthy snacks throughout the day, you are not only full from tasty foods but also overall more healthy from the nutritious snacks. 

Nuts-

Nuts are a great choice to choose from while snacking. From peanuts to almonds to walnuts, nuts are a great source of protein and vitamins. Protein is vital for cellular repairs and is a good source of energy for the body. Vitamins from these nuts (Vitamin E and Vitamin B6) help prevent the body from tissue damage while strengthening the immune system.

Fruits-

Fruits and berries are packed with antioxidants and water. From strawberries and apples to avocados and oranges, these fruits are not only nutritious but are also very tasty! Antioxidants from these fruits help reduce the risk of many diseases like cancer or heart diseases. Fruits are packed with water so they help keep you hydrated. With the water from these fruits, your body is able to function correctly with digestion and cellular functions.

Popcorn-

Popcorn is one of the best sources of fiber. Not only is it tasty and very easy to prepare, popcorn can also help with your overall body health. Fiber from these nuts may not only help in weight loss but may also contribute to a boost in your metabolism.

Dark Chocolate-

When looking for an easy snack, many tend to lean towards a granola bar or a chocolate bar- something sweet. Next time instead of picking up a Snickers bar, pick up a chocolate piece. Dark chocolate with 70% or more cocoa content has been proven healthy under moderation. These sweets provide your body healthy fats that help with heart diseases. Not only that, it allows for you to have a healthier alternative when snacking.
