🍫 Smart Snacking: What to Eat and What to Skip

LIP #259
Nov 06, 2025

Here's a simple guide to smart snacking.

Skip these:

  • Refined sugar and energy drinks
  • Processed fried foods and chicken nuggets
  • Store-bought protein bars (loaded with corn syrup)

Fried food isn't always bad - frying sardines in good olive oil is actually healthy. The problem is cheap oil with harmful trans fats.

Best foods for focus and energy:

  • Complex carbs and high-fiber vegetables
  • Healthy fats and protein
  • Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
  • Green tea or matcha

Make your own protein bars with dates, peanut butter, and chopped nuts - much better than store versions.

Great pantry staples: hummus, green apples, nuts, avocado, and seeds.

Bonus tip: 10 squats every 45 minutes can lower your blood sugar by 25% and keep energy steady all day.
