Did you know 94% of Americans eat at least one snack daily? Snacking can be a great way to curb hunger pangs, maintain energy levels and help you hit your fruit and vegetable goals! However, unhealthy traditional snack foods can contribute excess fat and sodium intake and lead to energy crashes.
This October, The Little Clinic Dietitians are celebrating bright, bold and delicious snack foods that are appropriate for the whole family. Instead of opting for bland, unhealthy foods, keep snack time fun by trying one or all five of these delicious combinations from your Little Clinic Dietitians and our October partner, Lantana!
Black Bean Hummus with Mini Bell Peppers - Lantana?s Black Bean Hummus is deliciously spicy with a kick of fiber, healthy fats and complete proteins. Paired with 100% edible mini bell peppers for a healthy dose of Vitamin C!
Low Sodium Beef Jerky with Dried Cherries - This is a perfect combination of bioavailable protein from jerky and fiber and antioxidant firepower from dried cherries. Plus it?s completely portable and desk-friendly!
Beet Hummus with Baby Carrots - Nothing ?beets? the bright, sweet flavor of Lantana?s Beet Hummus! Beets contain phytochemicals, manganese, potassium and copper and contribute the bright purple color to this hummus. Pair this with carotene-rich baby carrots for an antioxidant-loaded snack that is enjoyable any time of day!
Sriracha Carrot Hummus with Baked Whole Grain Pita Chips - For our Sriracha-loving customers out there, you must try Sriracha Carrot Hummus from Lantana. Slightly sweet and deliciously spicy, this hummus breaks away from the traditional, beige hummus and provides a perfect kick of flavor! We pair this with baked whole grain pita chips for a satisfying crunch and the goodness of whole grains.
Apple Slices with Almond Butter - Enjoy this crisp and easy snack any time you want by pre-packing your apple slices with individual serving packets of almond butter in the same clear plastic snack bag. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over apple slices after cutting to prevent browning!
