6 Snacks To Fight An Afternoon Slump
James McQuillan
Scarfing down sugar-filled candy and over-salted snacks will leave you feeling sluggish--not to mention guilty. To beat an afternoon crash the healthy way, try these six foods.
Grab a spoonful of satisfying peanut butter. The combo of protein, healthy fat and fiber will provide slow-burning fuel that will keep you energized until dinner.
Creamy, flavorful and full of heart-healthy fat! Enjoy the hunger-fighting snack with veggies or whole-grain crackers or pretzels for dunking.
With more protein than traditional yogurt, Greek-style will boost energy without spiking your blood sugar.
