Contribute to popular belief, snacking is actually very beneficial. It helps to refuel your body, maintain blood sugar and energy levels and control your appetite.
Healthy snacking will help your body get the nutrients it needs and help you avoid overeating at meal times.
Indulge in these guilty - free snacks. Remember we encourage an anti - inflammatory, low - glycemic, paleo - style diet for weight loss and wellness. A body must get healthy before it can lose weight.
1. Fruit and Yogurt Parfait.Organic plain yogurt is best. Instead, flavor your yogurt with fruit. Blueberries are an excellent choice as they have a lower glycemic content that will help balance balance blood glucose and insulin levels.
2. Romaine Lettuce Wrap With Organic Turkey and a Slice of Raw-Milk or Skim Mozzarella Cheese.
Romaine lettuce contains the highest nutritional and fiber content of all lettuce. Adding raw milk grass-fed cheese not only adds flavor but also adds calcium without any harmful hormones or preservatives. A great source for grass-fed wild meat, game and poultry is at US Wellness Meats.
3. Veggie Sticks with Cottage Cheese Dip. Fat-free organic cottage cheese makes an excellent low calorie snack. Non-starchy vegetables contain almost eight times the amount of fiber found in whole grains.
4. Shrimp Cocktail Shrimp is 90% protein. Try dipping it in some cocktail sauce for a low calorie, high protein snack.
5. A Handful of Nuts. Walnuts are the best choice as they they have a high dose of omega 3 fatty acids (good fats) as compared to other nuts. Healthy fats help lower your risk of disease. Omega - 3s are anti - inflammatory, meaning they help prevent inflammatory diseases such as stroke or heart disease. People who are overweight are actually suffering from an inflammatory condition.
6. Celery Sticks and Almond Butter. This is a great combination of protein, monounsaturated fat and energy. Almond butter is a healthier alternative to peanut butter as it contains no added ingredients or preservatives and better fats. (Peanuts are a legume not a nut )
7. Deviled Eggs. Eggs are very high in protein fever. My Guacamole Deviled Eggs are a great high protein healthy snack with good fats.
8. Herring Wraps. Buy a few tinned containers in a few different flavored sauces such as tomato or tangy mustard, herring fillets are high in omega 3 fish oils. Do not but if they are in soybean oil. Try wrapping them in a few leaves of romaine lettuce.
9. Banana Nut Pop. Dip a banana in plain organic yogurt and roll in walnuts or coconut. Freeze. Yummy!
They are MCFA (medium -chain triglyceride fatty acids)
10. Lemon Tuna Avocado Snack. Halve an avocado and scoop out the flesh. Mix with lemon juice and tuna. Serve in the shells. Good protein, good fat.
Avocado 's are high in monounsaturated fat and potassium. Tuna is a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acid and is very nutrient-dense. Protein builds muscle which in turn burns more calories to help you lose weight.
