DealDash Cooks: Yummy Snacks for All

DealDash

Why snack on the same old chips and pretzels day after day? Change it up! Here are some ideas from DealDash to get you started.

Most people love to have a yummy snack in the afternoon, or perhaps before bed. There are many snacks available – some that are unhealthy like chips, and others like pretzels that can just get boring. Why not branch out and try some new snacks to shake things up? Read on for more information from DealDash.

Include Protein for Satiety

Firstly, one big reason that you should choose to eat snacks that have protein is for satiety’s purpose. As in, if you add protein to your snack you will feel full and satisfied for longer. This is especially important if this is an afternoon snack to last until a late dinner. This is significantly better than choosing a snack like chips or candy which is lot of empty calories that will leave you hungry after an hour or so. Try eating a snack such as some beef or turkey jerky that is packed with protein. If you don’t eat meat, no problem! Try a hard-boiled egg or some peanut butter (or sunflower butter!) on an apple. 

Try a “Snack Plate”

Next, another suggestion to ramp up your snack enjoyment is to make a snack plate! Instead of having a bigger amount of just one or two snack options, make a plate that includes a few bites of a bigger variety of snacks. For example, you could make a plate that has a few grapes, a couple of crackers with cheese, half a celery stalk with cream cheese, and a few almonds. By having just a bite or two of many different choices you feel much fuller and more satisfied with the variety.

Snack to Keep Your Weight in Check

Finally, you might think that snacking is detrimental to your diet, but that isn’t the case. As long as you are choosing healthy and nutritious items, it can actually help you manage your weight. This is because if you are hungry and don’t have a snack, then you are going to feel absolutely ravenous during your next meal and eat much faster. This can lead to you eating more than you really need to because when you eat very fast you don’t realize you are full until it’s too late and you have that “stuffed” feeling. So, eating a snack like a piece of fruit, a cup of yogurt or sugar-free Jell-o, or even a 100 calorie pack of fruit snacks can help you keep your hunger (and weight) under control.
