Smart Snacking – 7 Quick and Easy Combos

Smart Snacking - 7 Quick and Easy Combos

Cheesy-Crunchy-Sweet-Salty Snacks can undermine your healthy eating plan in just a few bites. In fact, the biggest source of artery-clogging saturated fat in the American diet is cheese. Just one ounce of full-fat cheese can have as much saturated fat as a McDonald’s® Quarter-Pounder.

But snacking is actually good for your health. Several small meals throughout the day is a great way to curb hunger and provide energy and nutrients. Guests at the Pritikin Center enjoy a bountiful selection of snack items twice a day.

So how do you get your snack time fix? Consider these 7 quick and easy combos.

1. Baked Potato and Chili

Just pour vegetarian chili or your favorite soup over your baked potato for a quick, hearty meal or snack. (A good brand of canned vegetarian chili is Health Valley®.)

2. Corn and Salsa

Simply microwave frozen no-salt-added corn and mix in fresh salsa. Make it even more fiber-rich and heartier by adding canned low-sodium beans and diced red peppers.

3. Tuna and Kavli

Combine canned tuna and fresh pre-washed baby spinach. Spoon over a couple of Kavli® or Wasa® Crispbreads. The only effort involved is opening up a can of tuna.

4. Soup and Veggies

Thicken and flavor your soup by adding veggies. For example, add to a big bowl of lentil soup a box of microwaved frozen spinach. Easy!
