Keep healthy snacks on hand

When the munchies strike, it's simple to grab a quick fix of junk food, especially if it's a habit and there aren't many healthy options in your cupboards. Fortunately, there are many simple and smarter snacks available that will satisfy your hunger.

Making healthy choices may be made much easier by having your kitchen well-stocked with a variety of portable, nutrient-dense snacks. Fresh fruit, mixed nuts, edamame, and vegetables with hummus are some healthy snacks you can try. You can also prepare some simple snacks in advance if you have additional time. Some delicious snacks you can quickly prepare and save for later are hard-boiled eggs, turkey roll-ups, homemade kale chips, and overnight oats. A little dark chocolate is a nice treat, and a higher cacao content means fewer sugars and more antioxidants. Look for at least 70% cacao!
