healthy-snacks

How often do you crave to eat something between meals or after meals and do not have anything on your desk? According to me, one should include healthy mid-meals in to their daily routine in order to boost the metabolism and getting constant supply of energy, nutrients etc. Having said this, the next question is what to eat? What are the healthy options that are easy to carry or make at home quickly as most always crib that time to eat, I am between long meetings etc …

You will be surprised that there are several snack options that are easy to carry and also make quickly

Here are the some easy to make and carrying options ;

Mini Pancake (one in number)

Boiled eggs (2-3 in numbers)

Black bean salsa with tortilla chips

Spiced up hummus with pita bread

These snacks are easy to carry, and when it is with us we will be reminded to eat them and ultimately it is a healthy swap over unhealthy eating.

Avoiding meals may lead to over indulgence in your next meal, decreases metabolism and does not meet up with the daily requirement of nutrients.

About Neha Morche

A post graduate in Nutrition and Dietetics, Neha Morche believes in inculcating good habits, lifestyle modifications and being active. According to her these will always take precedence over medicines like it did in ancient days. As a nutritionist, Neha counsels people for therapeutic diets and helps them understand the benefits of these diets for their physical and psychological well-being. In her previous avatar as a dietician her job was to only make diet plans according to the individuals’ daily routine. In most cases she realised people could never maintain their diet regime. Also, people would seldom acknowledge their weak points or improve habits and implement them in their daily routines. GOQii, in that sense is different as we will work towards changing people’s habits in a positive manner and motivate them to lead a healthy lifestyle. In her free time she loves to listen to music. When she wants to get into her meditative mood she likes to go trekking. She has done treks in the Sahayadri ranges of Maharashtra and Himalayas and aims to do Mount Everest. She says that treating food as a medicine will help us to maintain overall health and help enjoy life to the fullest. Finally, Neha’s fitness regime is to stay positive and respect your body and make life simpler.
