6. Delicious Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate has to make the list!
It’s delicious and loaded with minerals such as iron magnesium, copper and much more. This type of healthy chocolate also contains small amounts of stimulants like caffeine as well as theobromine, which won’t keep you awake at night. Consume in moderation as it still contains sugar.
7. Hunger kicking Hummus
Hummus is delicious and easy to make, plus affordable. This dip is high in protein and goes great with veggie sticks, crackers or as a spread on wraps and sandwiches. It’s quite versatile and has a long storage life in the fridge.
8. Snack-sized sushi
Sushi has become so popular and is sold everywhere! It’s a delicious healthy alternative to most take away foods and is a great balanced source of taste and nutrients. Be careful not to overdo the soy sauce – it’s high in salt.
9. Exciting Energy balls
Energy balls are easy to transport and packed full of nutrients. Try including other healthy ingredients such as cacao, macca powders and chia seeds for an all-round super healthy snack, otherwise a variety of fruits, nuts, and grains as fine!
10. Wonderful water
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and alert. If you don’t like plain water try adding some lemons, berries, cucumber or other fresh fruit to the bottle. The recommended amount for men is approximately 2.6L (10 cups) per day and for women is 2. 1L (8 cups) per day depending on your requirements. Remember to recycle or reuse your water bottles.
