4 Sweet Diet-friendly Snacks
Eating healthy may
be a problem if you don’t have the time to
eat at home and cook for yourself. But here’s something you
can do - choose a healthy, diet-friendly snack that will make you feel full and
energized!
When people think
about diets, they often forget that it’s not only about
breakfast, lunch and dinner – you have to think
about your snacks, too. Snack is a very important meal, too, for it is your
energy source between lunch and dinner.
The snack you
choose should definitely be sweet and you should eat it between 5pm and 9pm
(try eating it at least 3 hours after lunch and 3 hours before dinner). This is
when your blood sugar gets really low, and you need something sweet to keep you
going.
Choosing a healthy
snack is not always an easy thing to do, but here’s something that may help you – a list of four both incredibly delicious and diet-friendly
snacks to help you stay healthy and feel energized!
1. Sweetened Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is
the perfect snack choice for all the weight-watchers out there. It’s extremely high in protein, and you
can sweeten it in so many different ways. This is amazing, since you can make
it as sweet as you want and keep your snack healthy and tasty.
You can sweeten
your Greek yogurt with raisins, honey, agave syrup or peanut butter (or even
chocolate, if you’re not that
worried about calories).
2. A Fruit Smoothie
You can make a
smoothie with either regular cow milk or soymilk. Soymilk is a great choice
since this milk is incredibly rich in protein and calcium, plus it has
absolutely no lactose!
Start with fruit.
Choose the fruit you want to use (you can use just one or make your own fruit
combination). If you want to stay on the safe side, make a strawberry-banana
smoothie – it’s a classic. Add some soymilk and blend it well. If your
smoothie isn’t sweet enough, you could add a
natural sweetener. Try adding some honey or agave syrup.
3. Sugar-free Pudding
Sugar-free pudding
is a great choice for those days when you don’t really have the time to make yourself a nice, healthy
snack. There are so many different flavors, and you will definitely find at
least one that you’ll love.
Sugar-free pudding
is really low in calories, so it’s a great snack
option for those who are looking for something sweet, diet-friendly and
delicious!
4. A Fruit Salad
Fruit salad is a
classic, and it’s a great option
for those who try to be creative in the kitchen. There are so many different
fruit salad options you could try out – from those we’re used to, such as a
strawberry-pineapple-banana salad, to those less usual, such as a mojito fruit salad that has mint in it.
What’s so awesome about these fruit
salads is that you could basically mix all the different fruits you have at
home and make a delicious, healthy snack that will keep you full and energized.
You could sweeten your fruit salad with honey, whipped cream, chocolate chips
or agave syrup.
