Who hasn’t been spending
more time at home lately?
Many families have perfected
the balance of managing
a household in which kids may
be engaged in virtual learning while
Mom and Dad are putting in a full day’s
work from the home office. At several
points during the day, families need to
recharge. Having nutritious snacking
choices on hand can tame hunger in a
healthy way.
Plan and shop
Start with a plan and then head
to the store with a shopping list in
hand. You will be less likely to purchase
unhealthy options on impulse if you
stick to a shopping list.
Balance prepackaged and homemade
Homemade snacks are advantageous
because you can customize ingredients
to account for allergies or other needs.
But commercially produced snacks are
very convenient because they’re ready
to eat right out of the package. According
to Good Housekeeping, many food
manufacturers have been stepping up
their games and offering tasty and
healthy nonperishable foods. Just be
sure to read labels, paying attention to
sodium and sugar content and other
pertinent nutritional information.
When choosing snacks, pick a few
different options that appeal to savory,
salty and sweet cravings. Portion out
these snacks so the temptation for overindulgence
is limited.
Choose among the healthiest
options
Stock the pantry and refrigerator
with an array of healthy snacking
options.
• Nuts and their butters
• Popcorn
• Fruit
• Sliced vegetables
• Hummus
• Whole-grain chips
Healthy snacking is possible when
families think ahead and know what to
look for at the grocery store.
