I have observed that many people are struggling to find good ideas for healthy, quick and most importantly fat melting snacks. Many people are asking me what type of snack can be brought to the office, school or what snack can be taken while driving so they can avoid the fast junk food.
I always recommend 4-5 small meals per day as a good strategy for blood glucose and hunger control.
Most people are not planning ahead healthy and balanced meals or snacks when they are out for the day or at work. These people most likely are eating the junk food like pastries, French fries with ketchup (loaded with sugar) and deep fried chicken at a fast food restaurant.
Below are snacks my clients like. These snacks help to control cravings, hunger and most importantly decrease unwanted fat. And remember your snacks should be simple, easy and healthy!
1. Sliced apple with almond butter
2. Unsweetened apple sauce and raw almonds
3. Hummus with red/yellow/orange peppers
4. Unsweetened apple sauce mixed with plain or almond yogurt with chia seeds
5. Guacamole with carrot sticks or other veggie you like
6. Greek plain yogurt mixed with cocoa powder, vanilla extract and stevia
7. Pressed organic cottage cheese (available in most stores) mixed with plain yogurt, berries, and walnuts – good source of protein, low in carbs!
8. A hard-boiled egg, sliced tomato, carrot, celery sticks or red pepper with seasoning of your choice
9. Celery sticks with almond butter (you can use peanut butter but it has to be organic)
10. Avocado slices wrapped in nitrate-free deli turkey breast
Now you have no excuses of not having a snack while on the road or at work. Now you know what I consider as a fat melting snack. This secret is in front of you, just eat them!
Eat well and stay fit!
