Fueling your body with the right snacks is key to staying productive and focused throughout the work day. Dieticians suggest three balanced meals a day, with snacks in between to keep energy levels steady. In this blog post, we’ll share some healthy snack ideas that not only satisfy hunger and cravings but also help boost your performance.

1. Nuts and Seeds

Packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber, nuts and seeds keep your energy levels stable. Almonds, walnuts, chia and pumpkin seeds are great options if you are feeling slightly peckish.

2. Apples and Peanut Butter 

If you struggle to include fruit in your diet, this one's for you. Apple slices and peanut butter make a delicious snack rich in vitamins, fiber and protein, which keeps you full and alert in between meals.

3. Greek Yoghurt with Berries

A blend of probiotics, protein, and antioxidants, this snack improves digestion and boosts your cognitive function, helping you stay focused.

To make this snack more delicious, try adding some granola and honey!

4. Dark Chocolate

If you have a sweet tooth and crave chocolate, dark chocolate in moderation is great for enhancing mental clarity and reducing stress. Dark chocolate is rich in plant chemicals called flavanols and contains antioxidants which helps improve blood flow to the brain, supporting performance.

You can also try dark chocolate-covered nuts (this would be my preference).

5. Veggies and Hummus

Vegetables dipped in hummus make for a delicious treat. The fiber from vegetables like carrots, capsicum and celery paired with the protein in hummus, makes for a balanced, and brain-boosting snack.

These snacks are perfect for when you are on the go, at the office and even at home. Next time you feel your energy dipping, reach for one of these snacks to help you stay healthy and at your best!
