Simple Healthy Snack Options in 5 Minutes: Life Hacks from a Chef
In the modern world, there is often not even an extra minute to prepare a full snack.
However, there are some great snack options that won't cost you any money or time.
Culinary expert of HERE NEWS, chef and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will suggest several simple options for everyone.
Snacks from available products
Each meal should contain proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
An excellent source of protein is cottage cheese or yogurt (it is preferable to choose a product without additives), cheese, fish or meat, eggs, hummus and peanut butter.
If you are wary of store-bought products, salt the fish yourself or bake a piece of meat in the oven that can be cut like ham.
Sources of healthy fats include nuts and avocados, and the necessary portion of carbohydrates can be obtained from bran bread, baked potatoes, fruits and berries, and vegetables.
Since most of these foods are already available at home, you can prepare the following healthy and balanced snack options for yourself:
- sandwich with cream cheese and avocado;
- red fish sandwich with herbs;
- peanut butter and banana sandwich;
- low-fat yogurt with added berries or fruits;
- baked potatoes with added cheese and tomatoes.
