Snack Smart with Protein & Fiber

A snack of only carbohydrates (like a plain piece of fruit or crackers) can cause a quick spike and crash in blood sugar, leaving you hungry soon after. Pairing a protein or healthy fat with fiber creates a slower, more stable energy release. Examples include: apple slices with almond butter, Greek yogurt with berries, carrot sticks with hummus, or a handful of nuts with an orange. This combo keeps you satisfied until your next meal, prevents overeating, and provides steady fuel for your body and brain.
