Nutrition | 3 Snacks to Keep You Energised Throughout the Day

Do you struggle to stay energised throughout the day? In this article, we discuss three types of snacks that can help keep you energised, whether at work, home, or even on the go!

First Snack: Something Savoury

For a balanced and nourishing snack option, grainy crackers, such as Ryvita, are great. Some crackers come packaged in portions; if individually wrapped crackers do not suit you, your serving size will be about four. Pair these grainy crackers with a little protein and healthy fat, such as a good quality hummus or tzatziki dip, or whatever your favourite dip might be. This savoury snack is an excellent choice because you can keep all these ingredients at work. If there’s a fridge available, you can keep the hummus or other dip in the fridge, and you can store your crackers in your desk or in the kitchen cupboard at work.

Second Snack: Something Sweet

The second snack is a sweet option with some yoghurt and fruit. The yoghurt is an essential component of this snack because it provides protein and some healthy fat, as well as some calcium, whereas the fruit provides slow-burning carbohydrates and some extra fibre. All of these nutrients combined will help to keep you feeling full, satisfied, and energised throughout the day. The bonus point with this sweet snack is that you have the ability to customise it to your liking as you can choose different flavours of yoghurt or different types of fruit, all depending on whatever you prefer.

Third Snack: Something on the go

The third snack, which is a great option to keep at your desk while at work or in the cupboard if you’re working from home, is some roasted chickpeas or fava beans. There are various flavours to choose from such as lime and cracked pepper, lightly salted, or red pepper and chilli, to name a few! Roasted chickpeas or fava beans are perfect for craving a salty, crunchy snack. This snack also has some extra nutrients, including protein and fibre.
