When working with clients the topic of snacking comes up often. I get asked “is snacking bad” and “what are the best snacks”?! Today we are going to address all of these questions and share an anti-inflammatory snack I love.

I believe snacking can be a great tool to help boost energy, manage blood sugar, stabilize hunger and decrease inflammation in the body. This is important because chronic inflammation (which is influenced by food choices) is a trigger for other long-term health complications like diabetes, heart disease and depression.

However, mindless snacking can be problematic and a lot of typical snacks (like candy, chips, cookies) that people gravitate towards don’t provide stable energy and may contribute to inflammation. 

I also understand how important it is for snacks to be convenient, so today I’m going to share with you a snack I’ve been loving that’s portable, nutritious AND has anti-inflammatory ingredients. Zing Bars are a plant-based protein bar filled with healthy fats and low-glycemic carbs. They have a few extra special ingredients that support a healthy gut too! These bars were created by fellow registered dietitians who are passionate about showing how good nutrition can taste.
