Healthy Snacks for Nutrition

Healthy Snacks for Nutrition
Here are some healthy snacks for nutrition listed below:

Fruit Salads

Rely on seasonal fruits, natural sweeteners or spices, and maybe some skimmed yogurt to add that refreshing feel.

Nuts

Grabbing a handful of nuts from the little bag in your handbag saves you the inevitable regret later on when you realize that you have binged on something unhealthy and fattening. Nuts are packed with proteins. While most other snacks are packed with carbs and other empty calories, nuts are one of the few snack items that have proteins and fill you up for a very long time.

Soy Rolls

Soy chapatti rolls can be cooked in 10 minutes flat, if you have all the ingredients handy. Soak soya granules in a cup of water for an hour or so. Now take the prepared chapatti and dip it into the beaten egg mixture. Add one teaspoon oil to a non-stick pan (on each chapatti) and roast it. Once the chapatti is ready, put a thin layer of pudina chutney, soya stuffing, cucumber, radish and garam masala. Roll the chapatti in the shape of a roll and your soya chapatti rolls are ready.

Instant Oatmeal

A plain instant oatmeal packet is a great way to indulge in something comforting, yet healthy. You can add your own flavourings and keep a tab on the calorie and sugar content. Top it with raisins or add cinnamon and nutmeg to it and your powerful healthy office snack is ready. Oatmeal is low in cholesterol and is known to reduce the risk of heart diseases.

Stir Fried Veggies

Pack a foil tray of healthy stir-fried fresh veggies like baby tomatoes, celery, carrots, beans and whatever veggie you like. Stir fried vegetables are a great way to add the much needed doze of vitamins, minerals and fiber to your diet.

Pan-grilled Fish Fillet Sandwiches

Wash and prepare the fish for cooking by rubbing the boneless fillets with some salt and turmeric. After 15 minutes, add the marinate of your choice – you could go with some dried herbs mixed with pepper, paprika and five spice powder. Keep aside for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the bread for the fillets. Spread some mustard or butter, layer with onion rings, tomatoes and washed and dried lettuce leaves. Now take a grilling pan, and add 1tbs olive oil. Add the fillets to it and pan-grill for 5 minutes on each side.

Brown Bread

Toast 4 slices of brown bread and then cut them into wedges – 4 per slice. Now layer them with a little mustard, add a tomato slice on top and top with some breakfast meat like strips of ham or salami. You can even add one slice of a boiled egg and sprinkle with some salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil. An excellent and healthy snack with crunch and nutrients. This snack will be a great portion for two.
