Healthy snacking

Snacking with intention

4 min read

Most advice about snacking starts with guilt. That approach fails because it argues with a habit that exists for good reasons — long days, long commutes, meals that arrive late.

A better question is what the snack is doing. Is it bridging a gap to dinner? Is it a small pleasure at the end of a hard morning? Both are valid, and each suggests a different choice.

Look for something with fibre, protein or fat in it. Those are the things that make a snack feel like a stop rather than a start.

And keep the pleasure. A snack you don't enjoy is a decision you won't repeat.
