🍫 Smart Snacking: What to Eat and What to Skip
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.
