Smart Snacking

Snacking can be a great tool to help curb hunger, restore energy levels and keep you going until your next meal.  The key to snacking is to have an evenly balanced snack that includes a mixture of macronutrients.  Adding in some fat and protein will help keep blood sugar stable and satiety levels high!  We've got some great options to snack smart to share with you today.

Smart Snack Ideas

Protein Balls - These guys are super transportable and easy to just throw in a ziplock and hit the road.  They are fine at room temperature so they can be taken out on a hike or bike trip.  They're also full of all the good stuff like flax, chia and added protein.  The flax and chia are high in omega 3's so you also get the benefit of some extra good fats.  

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins  -  These guys have that extra bit of protein added in so they do a the perfect job curbing hunger.  No added sugar either so you won't get any blood sugar spikes and crashes.  They're great on their own or even with a little bit of grass fed butter or peanut butter on top.  They're nut free too so they can easily be sent to school as a snack or late breakfast.

Keto Cups - Right out of the freezer these cute little guys are the perfect craving crusher.  They come in a few different flavours too to suit all your needs.  Chocolate Peanut Butter, Blueberry, Raspberry, Strawberry Cheesecake and Orange Creamsicle!  Very low in carbohydrates, they will satisfy your sweet craving without overloading you with sugar.  Eat them right out of the freezer!

Protein Cheesecakes/Cakes & Keto Cakes - We make a wide assortment of cakes and cheesecakes.  These are the best for those late night cravings.  You know when you're sitting down finally after a long day and realize you want a little treat!  Our cheesecakes pack in a passive protein punch with anywhere from 14-22 grams of protein per slice and our Keto Cakes ring in at only 4-5 grams of carbohydrates per slice.  You'll sleep through the night with a full stomach and solid, stable blood sugar levels.

Snacking can be a great tool to keep you feeling your best.  The key is to manage snacking and make it intentional.  Mindlessly eating crackers out of the box or constantly going back for a scoop of ice cream out of the tub is unsatisfying and probably has you eating more than you think.  Pick a snack that is balanced and will satisfy your need. We have a great menu online full of great options to suit many dietary needs and wants.  Check it out at www.buffbakery.ca and get to smart snacking!
