Hey there!
Daisy here, do you ever find yourself reaching for a snack when that 2 p.m. slump hits? I get it, it’s all about finding something that keeps you feeling great and fueled for the rest of the day. Imagine having a stash of balanced, delicious snacks right at your fingertips, supporting your wellbeing and helping you power through anything the day brings. Sounds like a game-changer, doesn’t it?
With just a little planning, you can build a snack stash that works for you no matter what’s on your schedule. Here’s how to create an easy, enjoyable snack stash that keeps your wellbeing in check.
Plan ahead - don't overthink itEver end up reaching for anything nearby because you're really hungry? We’ve all been there! Planning snacks ahead of time gives you a variety of choices you’ll actually look forward to. I find that pre-prepping and portioning snacks can make all the difference—no need to wait until you’re really hungry to decide. Just grab and go!
Tip: I love keeping snacks everywhere—at my desk, in the car, and even in my bag. Crackers, mixed nuts, single-serve nut butters, and fresh fruit are my go-to. And of course, there’s always a Sneaky Wholefoods Protein Bar or Nourish Bite stashed away for those on-the-go moments!
Pack protein
Protein is like the superhero of snacks—keeping hunger at bay and fueling you for whatever the day throws at you. Think of it as the foundation of your snack stash! I love things like Greek yoghurt with berries, boiled eggs, nuts, and seeds. And when I need something portable, our protein bars fit right in as an easy, balanced option.
Don’t Forget Fibre!
Fibre is the ultimate trick for feeling full and keeping your digestion happy. Fibre-rich snacks like veggie sticks with hummus, wholegrain crackers, and fresh fruit are perfect for that! They’re filling, nutritious, and totally satisfying. At Sneaky Wholefoods, we make sure to pack natural, fibre-rich ingredients like dates, nuts, and psyllium husk into all our snacks, so you can enjoy a snack that not only tastes great but also supports your body.
Add little sweetness
When you're in the mood for something sweet, chocolate is always my go-to! Before I officially started Sneaky Wholefoods, I used to make bulk batches of chocolate bliss balls every week. They were made with a blend of almonds, dates, walnuts, cacao, and dark chocolate chips. But now, I'm all about minimal clean-up (mum life, right?). So, I turn to our Protein Ball Mixes, which let me have protein balls ready for the week in just 5 minutes; just add syrup, mix, and roll! And the best part? You'll find chocolate in all our Protein Ball Mixes, which means you can indulge and stay satisfied with no food processor in sight!
Add some healthy fats
Healthy fats are amazing for keeping you full and supporting brain and heart health. I love things like avocado, nuts, and nut butters in my snack stash. A handful of almonds or an apple with nut butter can really hit the spot!
Water
Water and fibre are a dynamic duo! Drinking enough water helps fibre expand in your stomach, keeping you feeling fuller longer while aiding in digestion. Plus, water helps soften stools and keeps everything moving smoothly—so make sure to drink plenty of water with your snacks to get the full benefits!
Building a balanced snack stash is all about creating variety, finding what makes you feel your best and what feels right for you
At Sneaky Wholefoods, our snacks are crafted with these principles in mind, making it easy to enjoy nutritious, satisfying snack wherever you are while supporting your wellbeing
