Do you put snacks, for YOU, on your menu plan or shop list??
Snacks are a non-negotiable part of my days. They help;
✅ fuel my body and brain
✅ aid recovery
✅ provide little pockets of joy
Hence why I include them in our meal plan and put them on our shopping list — because when snack options are easy to grab, I’m a much happier and a significantly less (h)angry human
What guides my snack choices:
✅ aim for two food groups
✅ aim to satisfy, not tease
✅ keep it simple - convenience is important
✅ consider which food groups or nutrients I need more of (protein, fibre, dairy, fruit, veggies) and build from there
10 snack ideas:
🔹 fruit + nut/seed bar
🔹 Vita-Weat crackers + tuna + sliced cheese
🔹 Vita-Weat crackers + cottage cheese + avocado + tomato + Mingle Seasoning
🔹 veggie sticks + hummus
🔹 quick oats + banana
🔹 chickpeas + pretzels + fruit
🔹 popcorn + veggie sticks
🔹 Weetbix + milk + fruit + honey
🔹 wholegrain bread + peanut butter + banana
🔹 Yopro
✨ Special mention to my fav chocolate and my fav biscuits that also make the shopping list and are included in any/all of the above combos when I feel like them
