It's Nola Snacks’ Post

This one's a must watch if you are on the lookout for answers to many common dietary questions! 😀 Here's an overview of the tips that I shared with the amazing hosts Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor & toya singh and the audience of #TheBreakfastClub show on CNN-News18. - Regular Meals: Eat meals throughout the day to avoid getting too hungry and overindulging later. Aim for no more than 4 hours between meals. - Healthy Snacking: If you feel peckish, choose healthy options like coconut water, fruits, or salads. Having these readily available helps with portion control. - Party-Friendly Snacks: Opt for vegetable fingers, dips like hummus and red lentil dip, or light dishes like dhokla or steamed veggies with spices. - Wedding Buffet Strategy: Prioritize filling up on soups, protein-rich starters like paneer, and then move on to carbohydrates. - Hydration and Hunger Cues: Stay hydrated with water and green tea. If you're still hungry after drinking, listen to your body and have a healthy snack. - Curbing Cravings: Bananas are a great way to satisfy sugar cravings while providing potassium.

I know from years of working with clients privately and within workplace consults, that lunch is often the forgotten child when it comes to eating healthy. This can be due to a lack of time, frazzled mornings trying to get everyone out the door or a lack of inspiration. But you know the saying, fail to plan, plan to fail. Here are three simple and tasty lunch options that take less than 30 minutes to prepare and will keep you fuelled throughout the afternoon: (1) Buddha bowl with quinoa, veggies, and chickpeas; (2) Protein-packed wrap with turkey, hummus, and greens; (3) Classic salad with mixed greens, avocado, and a boiled egg. Tip - check out my post on how to create the perfect salad for taste and texture that’s sure to keep you full. See link in comments 👇 !

Meal prep can help you save time and money, improve your eating habits, and reduce stress. When you don’t have any meals planned or prepared, you’ll find yourself scrambling to find food to eat, skipping meals, and relying on less nutritious convenience foods. Spending just an hour or two on the weekends prepping meals or ingredients for the week will save you so much time and help you maintain healthy eating habits. You can: 🔹 Cook individual ingredients like a source of protein, carbs, and veggies to mix and match during the week. 🔹 Batch a recipe or two to take into work for lunch. 🔹 Have breakfast prepped so you can start your day energized. 🔹 Cut up from fruits and veggies so they are easy to grab during the week When employees make healthy food choices, their productivity increases and medical costs decrease. B.Komplete can help your employees feel more confident in the kitchen by teaching them how to meal prep and cook delicious and nutritious recipes.
