How to Choose Healthy Midnight Snacks
Choosing the right healthy midnight snacks is easier than it sounds, you just need to resist the temptation to raid your cabinets and grab the first thing you find.
To ensure your snacking is always healthy, there are a few basic rules you should follow:
- It is more likely you will snack on healthy food if that’s the only option available in your fridge or storage – don’t buy junk and you won’t be eating it either
- Don’t go shopping hungry – it leads to emotional decisions and a shopping basket full of sugary and salty snacks. That is the last thing you want to stock up in your home
- If you have time at weekends, prepare some snack options to use during the week. You can batch prepare these same way as you would batch prepare other meals
- Lead by example – if your kids see you eating lots of fruits and veggies, they are likely to follow your lead
- Have something easy to snack on always on the table – that way you don’t get yourself too hungry to eat a lot in the evening
- Think of filling healthy things you can easily make at home or store without then going bad
- When choosing your healthy midnight snacks, take into account how easy it is to digest the food. Something with eggs for example or pasta will take longer to digest and it might disrupt your sleep regime
- The same goes for chocolate – even though dark chocolate is relatively healthy, it also contains caffeine so it can keep you up at night.
