⚡ Why Smart Snacking Matters
Snacks that combine protein, fiber, and healthy fats help steady post‑meal glucose and protect against the afternoon crash. Balanced mini‑meals support attention, mood, and satiety.
🍽️ Nutritionist‑Approved Snack Swaps
| Instead of This | Try This | Why It Works |

| Chips or Crackers | Sliced Veggies with Hummus | Adds fiber + protein + complex carbs |
| Sweetened Yogurt | Plain Greek Yogurt + Berries | Less sugar, more protein and antioxidants |
