Dedicated dietitian and clean food advocate Holly Ward is aware of the difficulties keeping energy over a long day. For her, the best answer is definitely high-fiber snacks.
“Fibre not only keeps you full but also fuels your body with consistent energy,” she notes. Holly offers her best suggestions for clean eating snacks here to keep you going strong.
1. Chia Seed Pudding with Fresh Fruit
“I usually snack on this,” Holly says. Combining chia seeds, almond milk, and a little of honey, this basic but healthy snack is For a fiber-dense treat, sprinkle the mixture with sliced banana or fresh berries after it has sat overnight.
2. Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas are a portable and fulfilling crispy, savoury choice. For a further spice, Holly advises flavouring them with smoky paprika or garlic powder. She says, “You’ll feel full for hours since they’re high in fibre and protein.”
3. Veggie Sticks with Hummus
“Staples in my refrigerator are bell peppers, celery, and carrots,” Holly says. This snack is cool and filling when combined with a hummus high in fibres derived from chickpeas.
4. Energy Balls
Made from oats, almond butter, flaxseeds, and a sloshful of dark chocolate chips, Holly’s handmade energy balls “They’re ideal for a pick-me-up in mid-afternoon,” she says.
5. Apple Slices with Almond Butter
Holly comments, “This one’s classic for a reason.” Apples are heavy in fibre and go wonderfully with the good fats in almond butter. For a nice variation, top with cinnamon.
While following clean eating guidelines, including these snacks into your regimen will enable you to stay faithful and push through even the busiest of days. As Holly says, “You’re less likely to grab processed foods when you’re ready with healthy alternatives.”
