"4 suggestions for fast food snacks"

„When we aim for a healthy diet, we often lack ideas for quick lunch or dinner options. It's best to organize our nutritional plans ahead of time, so we can purchase the appropriate ingredients. In situations where we have no plan and lack the right ingredients in the fridge, our menu may include unbalanced meals, as hunger is a poor advisor. It's also worth planning healthy snacks for work breaks or social gatherings. Here are a few suggestions.”

1. Salad compositions

Salads can be prepared from everything – but if we want it to be a dietary version, we have to be careful about the ingredients. When composing a vegetable salad, you can choose any vegetable, regardless of its caloric content. If you exclude legume seeds, you can add many vegetables to a vegetable salad, according to your taste. When composing the salad, remember not to add calorie-rich sauces. A good addition can be balsamic vinegar mixed with a small amount of olive oil. Frequent ingredients in salads are also olives, avocado, nuts or seeds. You can enrich the taste with them, but you should be careful with their quantity, as they are very calorific. The second type of salads are fruit salads. In this case, it is worth looking at calorie tables and choosing less calorie-rich fruits such as kiwi or apples.

3. Kefir, cottage cheese, yogurt

Kefir, cottage cheese, yogurt in the natural version are products that can serve as a quick and healthy snack available at any time. You can serve them with fruits, vegetables, flakes or bran, depending on your preference. It is important to note that the fruity versions of these products, which are sweeter, are no longer as dietary as their natural versions. In the fruity versions of the cottage cheese or yogurt, there is sugar that provides unnecessary calories.

4. Vegetables in strips

Vegetables cut into strips make for an excellent option for a gathering where snacks like thumbs, nuts, etc. are often served. Such snacks can be consumed without limits, which can only have a positive impact on one's health. Vegetables such as bell peppers, celery, pickled cucumbers, fresh cucumbers, or tomatoes are an excellent alternative to other snacks, thereby ensuring that one does not have to spend the entire evening with an empty plate.
