Diet Plan Mediterranean
There are many snacks that fit within the Mediterranean diet plan, meaning that you can switch up your snacking routine from day to day. In general, a healthy snack should be around 150 to 200 calories (Everyday Health, 2014).
The purpose of a snack is to keep your blood sugar levels stable and to fend off major food cravings. Thus, your snack should contain some carbohydrates -- preferably from whole-grain sources -- as well as protein to promote satiety. Consider some of the following foods to enjoy when the urge to snack strikes. But as with most diet plans, it is important to regulate not just the food consumed at mealtime, but also the foods eaten as snacks.
The Mediterranean diet does not prescribe set
meal plans, so when it comes to snacking while following the
Mediterranean diet, there are no set rules. But Farm Fresh Nuts Mediterranean Nuts Rock!
Fruit Slices with Nut Butter
Apples or
pears are great snacks when your sweet tooth hits. Add a protein punch by dipping fruit slices into your favorite nut butter. Almond butter or cashew butter are great options that contain heart-healthy fats. Learning to make your own almond butter by roasting and blending raw almonds allows you to harness the heart-healthy fats, protein, and fiber in this snack food.
