How to Make the Perfect Snack

June 1, 2021/in Podcast, Snacks

How to Make the Perfect Snack

Coach Chris joins her fellow Performance Dietitian Sarah Heckler to talk about how to make the perfect snack.

protein bite healthy snacks

First, we talk about the components of a healthy snack.

Pro tip: have at least two foods in a snack, combining protein, fat and/or carbohydrate. Ideally, it’s great to have a fruit or veggie, but the purpose of a good snack is to keep your blood sugar balanced and energy steady. While fruits and veggies are certainly healthy, when paired with a protein or fat, like nuts or cheese, then you’ll avoid being “hangry” later on.

We also talk about:

  • why eating like a kid isn’t a bag thing
  • what “weird” snacks work for us
  • what our favorite store-bought snacks are
  • great road-trip snacks
  • why snacks don’t have to be complicated
  • Sarah’s super simple snack rubric (great for families!)
  • how to teach your kids about healthy snacking
  • our go-to-protein-rich snacks
  • what’s always in our pantries and fridges

As Sarah says, “Snacks can be as high end as prosciutto and melon, or it could be as simple as a piece of string cheese and a hard boiled egg. There’s really no rules beyond something that tastes good to you.”
