The work and school year has started again (can you believe it’s already April!). One of the largest barriers to eating healthy and one of the many causes of the obesity epidemic in Australia is our lives are so much busier than ever! Finding the time to prepare nutritious meals and snacks is often difficult and people tend to buy ready-made snacks (think packets of chips and biscuits) and take-away meals, mostly for the convenience.
Below are 5 ideas for healthy, nutrient rich snacks to sustain energy throughout you and your family’s busy day, all of which can be found at a supermarket. If grocery shopping on a weekly basis is time-consuming in your busy schedule, Lifestyle Elements offers a grocery shopping service specifically tailored to your usual weekly purchases at your own supermarket. Simply tick the items you want for that week and we will shop, deliver and put away your groceries. Email Tim for more information.
Basically healthy snacks are about simple staple foods in small serving sizes (think carrot sticks and dip, not highly processed junk food) to keep you full and nutrient rich!
