10 practical snacks of up to 150 calories –

You already know that snacks between meals can help when it comes to maintaining weight and keeping our body balanced. Weating every three hours can help control appetite at main meals, which can contribute to more conscious and healthy choices when assembling the dish.

To help innovate in the kitchen and not fall into the trap of nutrient-poor snacks, Herbalife Nutrition Nutritionist and Global Director of Nutrition Training, Susan Bowermanindicates suggestions that are healthy, easy to make and practical to carry that do not exceed 150 calories per serving.

Protein bar

The professional explains that the secret is to choose a bar that offers about 10 grams of protein. “You can also opt for one that has a chocolate coating, to kill the desire to eat sweets,” she says.

yogurt + fruits

“In a bowl, place 1 pot of vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt with 5 small sliced ​​strawberries and sprinkle with a little cinnamon powder or grated nutmeg. It’s delicious!”

cottage + vegetables

Another tip is to mix 3⁄4 cup of cottage cheese with a little pepper and 1⁄2 cup of chopped vegetables. Carrots and cucumbers are good choices.

Pate + vegetable stick

“In a pot, place 1/3 of a cup of chickpea pate (hummus) and eat it with carrot, cucumber or celery sticks”.

Tuna + Avocado

How about a combination of vegetable sticks with a different paste? Mix 1⁄2 can of tuna in water, 1⁄4 medium mashed avocado, pepper and a few cubes of tomato.

Egg + Tomato

“To get out of the basics, cut 1 hard-boiled egg and 1 tomato into thin slices, then assemble canapés by placing the egg on top of the tomato. Season with salt, pepper and basil” teaches Susan.

Soup + Cheese

Prepare a serving of low-sodium soup, such as Herbalife Instant Soup, and add 1 chopped slice of light mozzarella.

Spinach + Egg

Place 1 cup chopped frozen spinach in the microwave for 30 seconds. Pour a beaten egg seasoned with salt and pepper over the vegetable and heat for another 90 seconds (when halfway through, take a break to stir the preparation).

Sweet Potato + Yogurt

Cut 1 medium boiled sweet potato in half and top it with 1 pot plain nonfat Greek yogurt and grated nutmeg to taste. It is a healthy and light version of the traditional stuffed potato.

Salmon + whole cream cracker

Mix 1 portion 50 g of salmon with 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard and spread on 4 biscuits. Can’t go wrong!
