Snacking could make all the difference between a hectic day and a slow one for working professionals.
Certified nutritionist Stella Brooks understands the need of feeding the body with the correct snacks, particularly during extended working hours. Her preferred snacks are all high-protein choices that keep you full and energised without the sugar crash.
“I’ve always loved protein-heavy snacks since they maintain my energy levels all through the day,” Stella explains. “I also enjoy easily packed snacks that call for little preparation.”
Greek yoghurt with nuts ranks among Stella’s best choices. “Greek yoghurt is an outstanding source of protein, and when you add a handful of almonds, you get some healthy fats too,” she says. “This snack tastes terrific and keeps me full for hours.”
Stella also swears by hard-boiled eggs and sliced cucumbers. “An underappreciated snack are hard-boiled eggs,” she notes. “Because they’re portable, they’re great for office days and loaded in protein. Combining them with cucumbers gives a crispness and additional hydration.
Stella also enjoys whole ingredient protein bars. “I search for bars having minimum added sugars and at least 10 grammes of protein. This is a quick and easy approach to keep on target with your dietary goals.”
Edamame is another among Stella’s preferred plant-based munchies. Packed in protein and fibre, edamame keeps you full and is simple to munch on all through the day.
Stella notes, “having a protein-rich snack on hand can make all the difference in staying focused and avoiding the mid-afternoon slump.” These high-protein snacks will enable you to push through your workday without the crash whether you’re on the road or at your desk.
