Normally, I would reach for chips or cookies but I have been trying to watch what I eat so I’ve switched to fruit and vegetables. I love peaches, pineapple, and mandarin fruit cups!
Trail mix I would imagine is like having a bag of nuts very moreish so constantly grazing fom the bag, hence snacking more. I would opt for something more substantial to snack on I pick apples, bananas or strawberries, it makes me fuller so I wouldn’t want to snack on anything else.
My go to is a rice cracker with peanut or almond butter and an apple. I like to combine fats, carbs and proteins to feel satiated for longer. If I am on the go I will take a sachet of protein powder that I can mix with water and drink to feel fuller. If I have more time during the week I will make some protein flapjacks with low sugar as a treat!
I always prepare a small container with yogurt in the fridge, when I know I will have a busy day, and when I need to go, I grab the yogurt and add some musli on top and I am ready! Another alternative is a mix of dried fruit and nuts! Hope it helps! Cheers!
When I get busy I am more likely to forget altogether. I bought an assortment of protein bars as my buffer for that. Otherwise it’s definitely a small handful of cashews. I absolutely love them and I tend to think of drinking water if I’m nibbling on them.
A protein bar or protein drink. When I’m super busy I’m also usually stressed so I’m grateful for the flavor of the bar or drink and how they are portable and I can keep moving. 🙂
If I am being honest during quarantine I have never been super busy so I have had time to plan out and make my own meals for every single one! Before quarantine however, I was always tight on time. This is because I was a full time student, full time competitive athlete, school athlete on four teams, in band, going to physical therapy 5 times a week, and going to the speech pathologist due to my breathing problem! During this time I usually would have to eat after my school team practice but before soccer, so I would just have a handful of almonds and a banana!
Snacks for sure. Anything that is quick and easy and probably not that healthy. Trying to be mindful in what I fuel my body with.
Water first! Then a small pack of snacks or cookies would help. Sometimes I prefer a little apple to eat on the go. I know it’s not good for stomach, but passion is bigger than hunger.
My grocer does this amazing combination of cranberries, almonds and almonds! If not, carrot, celery sticks with hummus! I also carry a delicious pink lady apple as well – which is a staple in my bag
