]]> Nuts are hailed as one of the healthiest snacks on the market, and they can be a great replacement for Pringles, Doritos, and other unhealthy snacks. That doesn’t mean you should eat them in unlimited quantities because they also have their downsides. Here are three things you should take into consideration before making them your go-to snack.

Right Choice

Not all nuts are created equal, and there’s a slight difference between their fat and calorie content, but they’re all good in their own right. If you want to reap the benefits of healthy nutrients that they all provide, try to add a wide variety of nuts to your diet instead of focusing on a single one.

Portion Control

Nuts may be very healthy, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat them in moderation. They have a pretty high fat and calorie content, and portion control plays a crucial role in consuming them within healthy limits.

Extra Add-Ins

Nuts come in many shapes and sizes, but consuming dry-roasted, salted, flavored, or honey-roasted nuts is best avoided. You should stick to eating plain nuts or roast them on your own because commercially-produced varieties tend to be packed with salt and sugar.

]]> Walnuts are an amazing source of nutrients that’s often forgotten thanks to so many other snack options that seem more convenient—but there many reasons why you should never forget about them again. Walnuts can be eaten as a stand-alone snack, but they can also be added to salads, pasta, and other dishes. Here are three reasons why they’re so good for you.

Great for Immunity

A single serving of walnuts (one ounce) contains four grams of protein, two grams of fiber, and 45 milligrams of magnesium. This makes it great for boosting immunity and improving your overall health. If eating donuts can help you get sick less often, we’re definitely here for it!

Healthy Source of Fat

If you’re watching where your fats come from, know that walnuts are one of the best sources of healthy fats. Walnuts contain high amounts of omega-3 alpha-linolenic, which makes them a perfect choice for improving heart health, brain health, and fighting inflammation.

Improving Brain Functions

Some studies (like this one) suggest that walnuts have an important role in improving cognitive function and your speed of processing information. Could eating walnuts daily make you smarter? We can’t tell you for sure, but there’s absolutely no downside to just try.

]]> Exercising on a full stomach is not a good idea, but you shouldn’t hit the gym hungry either. A nice and healthy pre-workout snack can help you stay energized at the gym and improve your performance, so take a look at these healthy snacks you can eat before a workout.

Pineapple Spinach Smoothie

A smoothie is always a good and safe choice for a pre-workout snack. To boost your energy without overloading your stomach we suggest mixing pineapple and spinach.

Mediterranean Toast

A Mediterranean diet is healthy and loaded with fresh veggies and that’s why we suggest this tasty Mediterranean toast as your next pre-workout meal. Use fresh veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers with hummus, feta cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil to make this snack in just a few minutes.

Pecan Granola

Homemade granola is nutritious, tasty, and easy to adjust to your taste with your favorite ingredients. We suggest granola with pecans, nuts, or berries because it’ll keep you full and give you enough energy for the workout.

Plain Greek Yogurt with Berries

Eating Greek yogurt with some berries is a light pre-workout snack that’s easy to digest and it’ll provide you with enough protein, which is particularly important if you’re planning on doing weight-lifting.

]]> If you’re among those people who get irrationally angry when hungry (a.k.a. hangry), especially between two meals, you can use our healthy snack ideas.

Energy Balls

Use your favorite nuts, seeds, nut butters, and other healthy ingredients to make your own energy balls. There are many recipes available online and what they all have in common is that you can’t go wrong. They will be a success every time and you can simply use the ingredients you have at the moment.

Smoothie

When making healthy smoothies, make sure you don’t go overboard with sugary fruits and milk and instead focus on ingredients like yogurt, leafy greens, nut butters, etc. Add some fruit for color and flavor and enjoy!

Homemade Iced Tea

In the mood for a beverage as a snack? Instead of having a sugary store-bought iced tea, opt for a homemade version that you can make better with fruits and herbs.

Breakfast Popsicles

Yogurt, fruit, and granola are all the ingredients you need to make a batch of fun popsicles you can eat for breakfast all week long.

Apple and Pumpkin Seed Butter

Instead of having an apple with peanut butter, try apple with pumpkin seed butter. Apples contain antioxidants and pumpkin seed butter has zinc and magnesium, which will keep you healthy all season long.

Bell Peppers and Hummus

For a more savory snack, try red bell peppers and hummus. Red bell peppers have tons of vitamin C and hummus is loaded with zinc—making this a nutritious, satisfying treat!

Butternut Squash Fries

Next time you have a craving for chips, reach for butternut squash fries instead. They’re so easy to make and all you have to do is slice the squash and brush it with olive oil before baking in the oven at 425 F for 40 minutes. Butternut squash is packed with carotenoids that the body converts to vitamin A.

View this post on Instagram

Did you know that just 1 cup of butternut squash meets 297% of your daily vitamin A needs and and 48% of your vitamin C needs? Butternut squash is in its peak season early fall through winter! Try out these air fryer butternut squash fries as a fun way to make traditional French fries more nutrient dense – they’re equally as crispy and delicious! To make: Ingredients: 1 baby butternut squash 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp rosemary 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg Salt and pepper, to taste Avocado oil spray Instructions: Peel baby butternut squash and cut in half. Slice evenly into long, thin pieces. Toss squash with dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and spray with avocado oil. Add to air fryer and cook at 400 for 15 minutes. Serve with your favorite condiments! I used Trader Joe’s truffle ketchup 😍

Popcorn

As long as you don’t make it with plenty of oil and salt, popcorn can be a great snack choice for any time of day. Corn is a whole grain that will digest slowly and keep you full longer than simple carbs like white bread and cookies.

3 quick snack ideas for when you’re not in the mood to cook:  * Homemade Popcorn:
Making your own popcorn is not only healthier but way more economical, and with you in control of the ingredients, the flavor combinations are endless. Pop up a big batch, break it down into smaller bowls and season each as you like.

Store your popcorn in an air tight storage bag or container to keep it fresh.
  * Veggies and Hummus or PB:
Cut some carrots, celery, bell peppers and cucumbers into sticks and dip into a bowl of hummus or peanut butter. Try different flavors of hummus and mix up your veggies often.
  * Fresh Fruit and Dip:
Whip together some cream cheese with equal amounts of yogurt or marshmallow fluff. Get a lil fancy and drizzle in some honey. Cut up some of your favorite fruits and enjoy it with your dip. Use different flavors of yogurt if you’d like.
  Each of these snacks can be made on the spot or ahead of time in under 5 minutes.  .  .  .  .  .  #momhustle #femaleentrepreneur #bossmom #millennialmom #bossbabemindset #womeninbusiness #mom2mogul #girlceo #smallbizowner #blacksahm #mommyblogger #wellnessblogger #girlpreneur #femaleceo #blackmomskillingit #wahm #momtribe #mommination #mealplanningmom #blackmomsblog #blackmomswhoblog #blackmomblogger

Milk

Try drinking your snack—there’s a reason why a glass of warm milk is a popular drink to have before bed. Warm milk can help you fall asleep faster and rest better during the night. If you don’t like milk, you can also try greek yogurt, because the effect comes from calcium.

Peanut Butter

Some peanut spread on a piece of whole wheat bread or eaten with a banana will get you sleepy in no time, plus, it will provide some protein, which is definitely much better than eating carbs at night.

I’ve been listening to @offmenuofficial podcast for a while now, and I always think about what I would choose.

]]> We all have stressful days at home or at work. Not only is this unpleasant to experience, but it can damage our health too. During periods of anxiety and stress, reaching for healthy foods rather than comforting junk food can improve your mood and help reduce stress levels. Here are five foods that have been shown to reduce susceptibility to stress.

Blueberries

Blueberries are high in antioxidants and Vitamin C and they’re good for the immune system and combating stress.

Green Leafy Vegetables

Green leafy vegetables like spinach that you might find in a salad contain plenty of folic acids. This B vitamin is needed to produce dopamine, which is the hormone that can relieve the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal contains high fiber, which is good for the digestive system and can help your body to feel healthy and relaxed. It’s also a slow-release food that will give you steady energy throughout the day rather than causing your blood sugar levels to spike and then drop significantly which can have a big effect on your mood.

Walnuts

Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower the risk of depression. They also contain amino acids that help help your body secrete the feel-good hormone serotonin.

Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa) contains phytochemicals that reduce the presence of stress hormones in your blood.

The literal translation is ham butter and over 3 million of these are sold every day in France, that’s pretty good going for what’s essentially a ham sandwich. But it’s the quality of the ingredients that make the difference here.

When’s the last time you went outside? There have been two (extreme) types of people in the last 5 months — the ones who really don’t care to be cautious with social distancing, masks & hygiene, and then the ones who are almost paranoid to the point of paralysis. As for me, I would say emotionally I’ve been chilling in the middle but physically, I’ve been getting too comfortable staying cooped up at home. If you’re like me, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR HOUSE every once in a while. Take a walk, enjoy nature, see a few friends. Get in touch with reality because the longer you stay isolated, the more you’re going to feel detached from everything and I can’t imagine that being good for your mental health. Go, go, get up!!! P.S. remember to wear your mask, keep your distance & don’t be a 💩 . . . . #mentalwellness #quarantine #mentalhealth #mindbodysoul #mindfulness #healthyliving #positivity #goodvibes

High in Fiber

The high levels of fiber aid digestion by keeping your system working. This enhances your body’s ability to absorb nutrients and distribute resources around the body.

Reduced Risk of Heart Disease

Nuts and seeds are high in good fats such as monosaturates, low in saturated fat, and free of dietary cholesterol. Combined with the effects of antioxidants, this make them a good way to reduce the risk of developing heart disease.

Reduced Risk of Diabetes

By distributing good fats around the body and providing protein to monitor hormone secretion, nuts and seeds have been shown to reduce the risk of diabetes.

]]> Nuts are hailed as one of the healthiest snacks on the market, and they can be a great replacement for Pringles, Doritos, and other unhealthy snacks. That doesn’t mean you should eat them in unlimited quantities because they also have their downsides. Here are three things you should take into consideration before making them your go-to snack.

Right Choice

Not all nuts are created equal, and there’s a slight difference between their fat and calorie content, but they’re all good in their own right. If you want to reap the benefits of healthy nutrients that they all provide, try to add a wide variety of nuts to your diet instead of focusing on a single one.

Portion Control

Nuts may be very healthy, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat them in moderation. They have a pretty high fat and calorie content, and portion control plays a crucial role in consuming them within healthy limits.

Extra Add-Ins

Nuts come in many shapes and sizes, but consuming dry-roasted, salted, flavored, or honey-roasted nuts is best avoided. You should stick to eating plain nuts or roast them on your own because commercially-produced varieties tend to be packed with salt and sugar.

]]> Walnuts are an amazing source of nutrients that’s often forgotten thanks to so many other snack options that seem more convenient—but there many reasons why you should never forget about them again. Walnuts can be eaten as a stand-alone snack, but they can also be added to salads, pasta, and other dishes. Here are three reasons why they’re so good for you.

Great for Immunity

A single serving of walnuts (one ounce) contains four grams of protein, two grams of fiber, and 45 milligrams of magnesium. This makes it great for boosting immunity and improving your overall health. If eating donuts can help you get sick less often, we’re definitely here for it!

Healthy Source of Fat

If you’re watching where your fats come from, know that walnuts are one of the best sources of healthy fats. Walnuts contain high amounts of omega-3 alpha-linolenic, which makes them a perfect choice for improving heart health, brain health, and fighting inflammation.

Improving Brain Functions

Some studies (like this one) suggest that walnuts have an important role in improving cognitive function and your speed of processing information. Could eating walnuts daily make you smarter? We can’t tell you for sure, but there’s absolutely no downside to just try.

]]> Exercising on a full stomach is not a good idea, but you shouldn’t hit the gym hungry either. A nice and healthy pre-workout snack can help you stay energized at the gym and improve your performance, so take a look at these healthy snacks you can eat before a workout.

Pineapple Spinach Smoothie

A smoothie is always a good and safe choice for a pre-workout snack. To boost your energy without overloading your stomach we suggest mixing pineapple and spinach.

Mediterranean Toast

A Mediterranean diet is healthy and loaded with fresh veggies and that’s why we suggest this tasty Mediterranean toast as your next pre-workout meal. Use fresh veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers with hummus, feta cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil to make this snack in just a few minutes.

Pecan Granola

Homemade granola is nutritious, tasty, and easy to adjust to your taste with your favorite ingredients. We suggest granola with pecans, nuts, or berries because it’ll keep you full and give you enough energy for the workout.

Plain Greek Yogurt with Berries

Eating Greek yogurt with some berries is a light pre-workout snack that’s easy to digest and it’ll provide you with enough protein, which is particularly important if you’re planning on doing weight-lifting.

]]> If you’re among those people who get irrationally angry when hungry (a.k.a. hangry), especially between two meals, you can use our healthy snack ideas.

Energy Balls

Use your favorite nuts, seeds, nut butters, and other healthy ingredients to make your own energy balls. There are many recipes available online and what they all have in common is that you can’t go wrong. They will be a success every time and you can simply use the ingredients you have at the moment.

Smoothie

When making healthy smoothies, make sure you don’t go overboard with sugary fruits and milk and instead focus on ingredients like yogurt, leafy greens, nut butters, etc. Add some fruit for color and flavor and enjoy!

Homemade Iced Tea

In the mood for a beverage as a snack? Instead of having a sugary store-bought iced tea, opt for a homemade version that you can make better with fruits and herbs.

Breakfast Popsicles

Yogurt, fruit, and granola are all the ingredients you need to make a batch of fun popsicles you can eat for breakfast all week long.

Apple and Pumpkin Seed Butter

Instead of having an apple with peanut butter, try apple with pumpkin seed butter. Apples contain antioxidants and pumpkin seed butter has zinc and magnesium, which will keep you healthy all season long.

Bell Peppers and Hummus

For a more savory snack, try red bell peppers and hummus. Red bell peppers have tons of vitamin C and hummus is loaded with zinc—making this a nutritious, satisfying treat!

Butternut Squash Fries

Next time you have a craving for chips, reach for butternut squash fries instead. They’re so easy to make and all you have to do is slice the squash and brush it with olive oil before baking in the oven at 425 F for 40 minutes. Butternut squash is packed with carotenoids that the body converts to vitamin A.

View this post on Instagram

Did you know that just 1 cup of butternut squash meets 297% of your daily vitamin A needs and and 48% of your vitamin C needs? Butternut squash is in its peak season early fall through winter! Try out these air fryer butternut squash fries as a fun way to make traditional French fries more nutrient dense – they’re equally as crispy and delicious! To make: Ingredients: 1 baby butternut squash 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp rosemary 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg Salt and pepper, to taste Avocado oil spray Instructions: Peel baby butternut squash and cut in half. Slice evenly into long, thin pieces. Toss squash with dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and spray with avocado oil. Add to air fryer and cook at 400 for 15 minutes. Serve with your favorite condiments! I used Trader Joe’s truffle ketchup 😍

Popcorn

As long as you don’t make it with plenty of oil and salt, popcorn can be a great snack choice for any time of day. Corn is a whole grain that will digest slowly and keep you full longer than simple carbs like white bread and cookies.

3 quick snack ideas for when you’re not in the mood to cook:  * Homemade Popcorn:
Making your own popcorn is not only healthier but way more economical, and with you in control of the ingredients, the flavor combinations are endless. Pop up a big batch, break it down into smaller bowls and season each as you like.

Store your popcorn in an air tight storage bag or container to keep it fresh.
  * Veggies and Hummus or PB:
Cut some carrots, celery, bell peppers and cucumbers into sticks and dip into a bowl of hummus or peanut butter. Try different flavors of hummus and mix up your veggies often.
  * Fresh Fruit and Dip:
Whip together some cream cheese with equal amounts of yogurt or marshmallow fluff. Get a lil fancy and drizzle in some honey. Cut up some of your favorite fruits and enjoy it with your dip. Use different flavors of yogurt if you’d like.
  Each of these snacks can be made on the spot or ahead of time in under 5 minutes.  .  .  .  .  .  #momhustle #femaleentrepreneur #bossmom #millennialmom #bossbabemindset #womeninbusiness #mom2mogul #girlceo #smallbizowner #blacksahm #mommyblogger #wellnessblogger #girlpreneur #femaleceo #blackmomskillingit #wahm #momtribe #mommination #mealplanningmom #blackmomsblog #blackmomswhoblog #blackmomblogger

Milk

Try drinking your snack—there’s a reason why a glass of warm milk is a popular drink to have before bed. Warm milk can help you fall asleep faster and rest better during the night. If you don’t like milk, you can also try greek yogurt, because the effect comes from calcium.

Peanut Butter

Some peanut spread on a piece of whole wheat bread or eaten with a banana will get you sleepy in no time, plus, it will provide some protein, which is definitely much better than eating carbs at night.

]]> We all have stressful days at home or at work. Not only is this unpleasant to experience, but it can damage our health too. During periods of anxiety and stress, reaching for healthy foods rather than comforting junk food can improve your mood and help reduce stress levels. Here are five foods that have been shown to reduce susceptibility to stress.

Blueberries

Blueberries are high in antioxidants and Vitamin C and they’re good for the immune system and combating stress.

Green Leafy Vegetables

Green leafy vegetables like spinach that you might find in a salad contain plenty of folic acids. This B vitamin is needed to produce dopamine, which is the hormone that can relieve the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal contains high fiber, which is good for the digestive system and can help your body to feel healthy and relaxed. It’s also a slow-release food that will give you steady energy throughout the day rather than causing your blood sugar levels to spike and then drop significantly which can have a big effect on your mood.

Walnuts

Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower the risk of depression. They also contain amino acids that help help your body secrete the feel-good hormone serotonin.

Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa) contains phytochemicals that reduce the presence of stress hormones in your blood.

When’s the last time you went outside? There have been two (extreme) types of people in the last 5 months — the ones who really don’t care to be cautious with social distancing, masks & hygiene, and then the ones who are almost paranoid to the point of paralysis. As for me, I would say emotionally I’ve been chilling in the middle but physically, I’ve been getting too comfortable staying cooped up at home. If you’re like me, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR HOUSE every once in a while. Take a walk, enjoy nature, see a few friends. Get in touch with reality because the longer you stay isolated, the more you’re going to feel detached from everything and I can’t imagine that being good for your mental health. Go, go, get up!!! P.S. remember to wear your mask, keep your distance & don’t be a 💩 . . . . #mentalwellness #quarantine #mentalhealth #mindbodysoul #mindfulness #healthyliving #positivity #goodvibes

High in Fiber

The high levels of fiber aid digestion by keeping your system working. This enhances your body’s ability to absorb nutrients and distribute resources around the body.

Reduced Risk of Heart Disease

Nuts and seeds are high in good fats such as monosaturates, low in saturated fat, and free of dietary cholesterol. Combined with the effects of antioxidants, this make them a good way to reduce the risk of developing heart disease.

Reduced Risk of Diabetes

By distributing good fats around the body and providing protein to monitor hormone secretion, nuts and seeds have been shown to reduce the risk of diabetes.
