These snacks are easy to take with on the run and help improve the quality of your diet. Not only can they help with your fat loss journey but they are also nutrient dense which help you meet the recommended intake levels of nutrients and food group servings. After you eat a meal, your blood sugar levels surge then go back down. These small snacks can help keep them from dropping too low and cause you to get tired inbetween meals. Due to their slower digestion, they will stabilize blood sugar levels instead of causing energy crashes.

These snacks are also beneficial in replacing energy stores from exercise and can speed up recovery. A good post-workout snack includes some carbs and protein within 30 minutes, such as a banana with peanut butter, apple with nut butter, or berries with greek yogurt. They will help reduce the chances of you choosing a calorie dense snack which might not give you any nutrients for your body.

Keep in mind, you can still gain weight from healthy snacks if you aren't watching your overall caloric intake. Pay close attention to your other meals as well and you will be winning at your goals daily!
