What Kind Of Snacks Should I Eat?

You can have tasty but healthy snacks to eat. However, snacking shouldn't replace eating a good breakfast and dinner. The best time to snack is in the afternoon because it is after breakfast and before dinner.

There are so many things one can snack on, but lots of it is just junk food which keeps you hungry all the time and wanting to eat more. So, what kind of snacks should you eat?

Nuts are a very good source of protein and they are extremely filling. Almonds, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, peanuts, pistachios, cashews, and brazil nuts are just some of the nuts that you can eat for snacks. Try to eat the nuts raw because there is more nutrients in them when you eat them that way. If you can't eat them raw right away that's okay. Pick a couple of them to eat raw and see how you like them. It may take a while to get used to because we are so used to eating them roasted. I, myself have yet to be able to eat peanuts raw. I prefer them roasted. Also, try the nut mixes.

Eat fresh and dried fruit. Fresh fruit such as - strawberries, apples, oranges, pears, grapes, cantaloupe, bananas, plums, dates, watermelon, pineapples, mangos, blue berries, cherries, and grapefruit. You could even make a fruit salad.

Dried fruit such as - raisins, prunes, cranberries, and bananas. You can mix the dried fruit with nuts if you like.

Sesame seed sticks are a great snack too. It is one of my favorites. Popcorn is easy to make and it lasts long. You can eat it anytime. Yogurt and peanut butter ( not together) is good too.

Sometimes you just want to eat a bag of chips. Here are the ones to eat: plain potatoe chips and plain corn chips. The reason I say to eat them plain is because they don't have the artificial ingredients in them that the non-plain one's do. Remember simpler is better.
