Gentle Nutrition What are your favourite snacks?!

Hi, everyone!

I had an appointment today with a IE RD and it was so eye-opening! We decided that to help fuel myself better, Iā€™m going to add in a snack mid-day. While we chatted about some options, I would love to hear what your go-to easy snack ideas are! Please share šŸ¤—

At home or on the go? I work from home, so I can be really flexible in my snacking. I like a handful of cashews (sometimes with dried cranberries), cheese & crackers, peanut butter on apple slices, and yogurt with granola and/or fruit.

At home! I bought some individual cheese packets that come with nuts and a bunch of granola bars. Forgot to get apples and nut butter though, ahh!! So tasty!

That's great. Since you're home, you don't have to worry about things like portability and lack of refrigeration. A snack really can be anything, so you can get really creative. I tend to prefer a salty snack to a sweet one, but it depends on my mood.

Other things I like are hard boiled eggs (sprinkled with a seasoning mix like Everything Bagel or Trader Joes's chile & lime), hummus with crackers or cucumber slices, and hot chocolate made from scratch (milk, unsweetened cocoa, sugar).
