Apple Slices and Peanut Butter
An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but pair it with some peanut butter to make this snack more satiating. You’ll not only benefit from the apple’s fiber content but also from the protein and healthy fats in the peanut butter—keeping you full for longer.
To prepare, simply core and slice a medium-sized apple. Spread a tablespoon of natural peanut butter on each apple slice. Don’t fancy peanut butter? No problem. You can swap it with almond butter, which is equally nutritious.
Packed with essential nutrients, this quick fix can easily substitute unhealthy snacks between meals. Plus, the crunch of the apple and the creaminess of the peanut butter strike a great balance.
Remember to consume this in moderation as peanut butter can be high in calories. As long as you stick to natural variants without added sugar or oil, it’ll make a perfect healthy snack.
