Snacking for Energy

Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a busy professional, finding the perfect snack to keep your energy levels up is crucial. That’s where healthy snacks come in! These tasty treats not only satisfy your cravings but also provide the nutrients your body needs to power through any activity.

Whether you prefer sweet or savory, there are endless options when it comes to healthy snacks. From nutrient-packed energy bars to crunchy veggie chips, you’ll never run out of delicious choices.

Not all snacks are created equal, though. I try to avoid snacks with refined sugars, refined flour, and/or any ingredients that I don’t recognize. Sometimes, the easiest things are apples and bananas. I always keep Gogo Squeeze applesauce on hand. I like these because they don’t have added sugar. They are easy to grab on the way out the door. And, when I’m racing mountain bikes, they work better than expensive goo packets.

Some other snacks I keep on hand;

– roasted and salted almonds

– fresh fruit

– whole grain crackers

– homemade granola with berries and unsweetened yogurt (link to recipe)

– frozen veggies

– honey sticks

– 100% fruit leather

– fresh veggies

– Babybel plant based cheese

– homemade popcorn with olive oil (or popped amaranth, or sorghum)

So whether you’re hitting the trails or sitting at your desk, make sure to choose wholesome and nutritious snacks that will keep you going strong. With the right fuel in hand, there’s no limit to what you can achieve!
