Описание: 10 Energy-boosting snacks for busy work and school days

Mid-afternoon is a common time of day to experience an energy drop given we’ve been on the go for many hours thinking and executing a variety of tasks. Regardless of if you have an office job, work from home, are a student, or are a busy parent shuttling kids to after-school activities, a healthy snack can help boost your energy for the remainder of the day.

What are the components of a healthy mid-afternoon snack?

Aim to have a combination of both carbohydrates AND protein.

Carbohydrate-rich foods help to pick up your blood sugars so your brain can problem-solve and concentrate. Healthy carbohydrates are found in grains/starches, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. While all food can fit, aim to eat more whole foods as these are highest in vitamins, minerals, and fibre, and choose to eat less sugary and refined packaged foods that have been heavily processed.

Protein-rich foods assist with sustaining energy, increasing satiety, and stabilizing blood sugar control. Foods that contain protein include nuts, seeds, yogurt, milk, hemp hearts, meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs.
