5 reasons to include snacks between meals

At MySnacks, we love snacks, but in fact, there are many benefits to snacking between meals, beyond just the good taste. The secret is to choose high-quality snacks that provide energy and are so delicious that they make it difficult to share with others. 

Why do we recommend including snacks between meals?

1. Snacks keep blood sugar levels balanced

After each meal, your blood sugar rises and then slowly starts to fall again. If it is a long time until your next meal, your blood sugar will also drop more and more at the same time and you will slowly start to feel tired, exhausted and hungry. In order to keep your blood sugar balanced, it is important to plan your meals so that they contain carbohydrates, good fats and protein. You can also add something from these food groups to your day as snacks. This way, your blood sugar will not fluctuate drastically up and down throughout the day. MySnack and Fitlap recommend pea snacks with salt as a good source of protein. Read more about Fitlap's recommendations HERE.

2. Snacks add nutrients to the menu

Did your last meal provide all the vital nutrients your body needs to function properly? Sometimes, instead of a home-cooked lunch, we had to grab something quick from the store that was tasty but had poor ingredients. In this case, snacks can help you add the missing nutrients to your menu. For example, try this crunchy fruit mix that contains iron, calcium, and vitamin C:

3. Snacks help keep your mind clear

Have you ever felt your thoughts getting foggier as your stomach empties? Are you sitting at a desk or in a meeting and you really want to contribute, offer exciting solutions, but your head is completely empty? Eating a snack helps you stay focused on important things, be more creative, and be energetic. Try these really crunchy freeze-dried mango snacks:

4. They help prevent overeating

You had planned a nice dinner at home, but another obligation came up today, causing you to arrive home so late that you can't cook dinner - the only solution seems to be ordering takeout from your favorite restaurant again, where you're tempted to order everything on the menu.

Always keep a snack pack in your bag, because unexpected situations like this always happen. Snacks help you make better choices when planning your meals, even postponing your planned dinner won't make you blindingly hungry and you can make better choices with a clear head.

5. Snacks bring excitement and good taste to your day

When you think of a snack that's a little healthier than a regular potato chip or gummy, do you imagine that this snack could taste even better? People often have a premonition that a healthier snack doesn't taste good. But let us convince you otherwise! Everyone can find a delicious, quick and special snack in the MySnack selection.
