About the Recipe
A collection of quick, no-fuss snack ideas to keep energy levels steady throughout the day - all nourishing, portable and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Any juice or smoothie to your liking — add a scoop of protein powder for extra energy
Hummus: 2 x tins organic chickpeas, juice of 2 lemons, 1 tbsp tahini paste, salt, cumin and garlic — blend with a little water for a creamy consistency, top with paprika. Freezes well.
Nuts, seeds, coconut flakes/chips and fruit — always keep to hand
Fresh apple with a few nuts or seeds
Oatcakes topped with mashed avocado, turkey, smoked salmon or mackerel
Rye bread and almond butter
Gluten-free oatcakes spread with coconut butter or cashew butter
Fresh chopped vegetables — peppers, carrots, cucumber, sugar snaps with avocado or hummus dip
Coconut water — add 1 tsp Himalayan salt and juice of half a lime or lemon for variety
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare your chosen snack combinations in advance where possible, or assemble quickly as needed. Keep nuts, seeds and oatcakes stocked at home and in your bag for easy access.
Keeping healthy snacks to hand is one of the most effective strategies for maintaining stable blood sugar and avoiding energy dips. Protein, healthy fats and fibre — found in nuts, seeds, hummus and avocado — slow the release of sugar into the bloodstream and keep you feeling fuller for longer.
