5 energy-boosting snacks
Having healthy meals and snacks to hand means you’re less likely to opt for high-calorie cafe or takeaway foods.
When you find yourself on an energy slump, forget coffee and chocolate! Get a natural energy hit with these nutritious snacks.
1. Nut-based snack bar
Packed with protein and healthy fats, nut bars combine a little carbohydrate with a portion-controlled serve of nutrient-rich, assorted nuts and seeds.
2. Cheese and crackers
This savoury snack offers the perfect mix of protein for fullness and carbohydrate for energy. Opt for wholegrain crackers for a fibre boost.
3. Protein bliss balls
For those who prefer a homemade snack, a blend of oats or dates and protein-rich nuts and seeds creates a tasty, energy-rich snack.
4. Peanut butter sandwich
For a satisfying snack, team a 100 per cent nut spread with wholegrain or wholemeal bread for the perfect blend of tasty protein and good-quality carbs.
5. Bananas
Packed full of carbohydrates, vitamin B and magnesium, bananas are nature’s energy source that come with their own packaging!
