4. Afternoon Snacks

Put that sugary candy bar away, and pick up one of these healthy mind-friendly treats instead!

– Low-Carb Treats

It’s often these afternoon cravings that bring our healthy diets to a crashing stop. That’s why preparation is key! Having pre-made treats that are low in carb and sugar will help you avoid running to the vending machine for that candy bar.

To be clear, a healthy snack doesn’t have to be boring either. You can browse hundreds of recipes for low-sugar, high-protein snacks online. And it’s easy to customize them and add things like nuts and cacao as well. If you have a sweet tooth, you can also look for recipes that use stevia.

– Smoothies

Smoothies are like soup – but the quicker and sweeter version! If you’re at home, or your office has a blender, you can whip one up in mere minutes. And the best part is you can experiment with the ingredients and comes up with new delicious concoctions every day. Try adding nuts, fruit, yogurt, and even vegetables into your afternoon smoothie. Superfoods like cacao, peanut butter, and chia also work really well.
