Need A Tea Break? Treat Yourself To These Tasty, Healthier Snacks

And yes, you can still have your favourite snacks like popcorn, chips and ice cream albeit just in a healthier form

June 9, 2021

HerWorld

If you find yourself thinking about snacks during a long day at work, you’re definitely not alone. Taking short breaks throughout your work day can do wonders to relieve stress and improve productivity.

Snacking often gets a bad rap as it’s associated with emotional/uncontrolled eating, overeating, and weight gain. However, it doesn’t have to be that way if you stay mindful about your daily calorie intake and portion sizes, and also, your motivation for snacking.

Whether you need to meet nutritional needs or are looking for a pick-me-up, consider these healthier options the next time you reach for a snack. They include popcorn, chips, cookies and even ice cream. And yes, they have been taste-tested. Satisfaction guaranteed.
