A bite-sized blog of snack hacks

Back-to-back meetings, busy evenings, weekend plans and gym dates, sound familiar?

We know you’re always on the go, so this will only take a minute – if your work and social life has you out of the house a lot, it can be good to have a game plan when it comes to your snacks to make sure you have healthy options available.

Some things to chew on

Snacks shouldn’t replace a meal, but are part of a balanced diet.
It’s good to have 2 to 3 small snacks a day.
Snacks should be healthy and nutritious like fruit, unsalted nuts or a bag of popcorn – anything else is considered a treat, not a snack.
You should know when you might need one (at work, in the gym, between meetings) and plan to have healthy options on hand.
Bring portable snacks with you on long days to be prepared.
If you’re buying pre-packaged snacks, always read the labels and choose the option lower in fat, sugar and salt.
If taking from a large packet, serve a single portion in a dish, or pre-portion into lunchboxes ahead of time.

Now, we know you have places to be! So without further ado, here’s our recommended list of healthy snack options – screenshot it, print it or save this page for later:
