Healthy snacks for busy people: how to choose well?

Modern life leads many people to skip breakfast, rush through lunch or snack without much thought. A healthy snack helps you keep your energy steady and avoid sudden hunger pangs.

What makes a good snack?

• Good carbs: from oats, brown rice and whole grains – they release energy slowly.
• Plant protein: from beans and seeds – it keeps you full longer.
• Healthy fats: from macadamia nuts, walnuts, almonds and black sesame.
• Fiber: supports digestion.
• Little refined sugar: to avoid sudden spikes in blood sugar.

A simple suggestion

If you don’t have much time to prepare, you can choose grain powders or ready-to-mix seed milks with clear ingredients, sweetened with stevia instead of table sugar. Just mix with warm water and you have a well-rounded snack.

Note: a snack is only one part of a balanced diet. People with health conditions should ask their doctor about a suitable diet.
