💥Energy Boosting Snacks💥

Looking for something for an on the go boost or just a healthy snack option during the day❓

Well here are some of the best options you should be adding to your shopping list💚

💪Hummus & Veggies

Chickpeas are a great source of complex carbs & fibre which can offer a steady source of energy to your body. Shop bought hummus can contain artificial ingredients though so check that you are buying one which is made from good quality, natural ingredients or why not try making your own at home by blitzing up a can of chickpeas with spices, herbs & seasoning👍

💪Nuts

Almonds, Walnuts & Cashews are three of the best nuts to include as a snack option as they are high in protein. healthy fats & carbs as well as being a great source of omega 3 and omega 6 which can help boost your energy levels. Opt for raw, unsalted options

💪Plain Greek Yoghurt

Due to it's high protein content, it can keep you feeling fuller for longer as well as being low in sugar & containing healthy fats. Well that's a bit boring I hear you say! Why not throw in a handful of nuts & chopped fruit 👍

Which leads me onto.....

💪Bananas

An energy boosting power house 🍌containing potassium & vitamin B. Not a fan of a plain old banana, why not chop it up and mix it into your porridge, make a banana bread (yummy!) or top chunks with a little bit of peanut butter!

💪Popcorn

Providing slow release energy, popcorn is a great snack choice & a little portion can go a long way to helping keep you satisfied until your next meal as well as being a good source of fibre. Look for ones which haven't been covered in loads of artificial flavourings & syrups. Why not buy some plain popcorn and add your own flavourings such as honey & natural sweeteners/syrups or maybe a dusting of good quality cocoa powder!

💪Peanut Butter

A source of healthy fats, protein, magnesium, iron & zinc as well as B vitamins & vitamin E, this is a good option when looking for something to fill you up for longer. Try adding it to porridge, smoothies, spreading on your banana or why not chop an apple into slices and use it as a dip 🍎🍎
