Total Nutrition Technology
Healthy snacks, especially on the go, are an essential part of a healthy eating plan. Selecting the right snacks can not only keep your blood sugar stable but can help prevent you from overeating later in the day. So instead of grabbing that muffin at the coffee shop between meetings or the bag of chips you picked up from the vending machine we have a better idea. Keep choices nutritionally balanced picking snacks between 100-200 calories with a combination of healthy carbs, healthy fat and protein. These smart snack choices will satisfy your hunger and more importantly keep you feeling full longer. Your body will thank you and give you the energy you need to finish out your day strong and with a clear mind.
