1. Avocado and carrots
You have probably heard about the vital health benefits of carrots, namely that they support eye-health. What gives carrots this power is beta-carotene, a nutrient that the body readily converts into vitamin A. What you may not know is that your body needs fat to absorb beta-carotene.
Pairing carrots with avocados or even olive oil will help your body make
the most of the nutrients in carrots. An example of a simple snack is
carrots dipped in guacamole or hummus.
2. Cottage cheese and Blueberries
If you’re looking for a snack that will
keep you satiated until your next meal and prevent more unnecessary
snacking, try mixing a handful of blueberries with some cottage cheese.
The latter is rich in casein, a slow-digesting protein that contains all
the essential amino acids your body needs, whereas the fruit is high in
fiber. This combination is both nutritious and filling.
3. Walnuts and spinach
Spinach can do great things on its own
thanks to its vitamin K content, which contributes to cell growth, blood
circulation, and bone strength. When walnuts enter the scene, however,
their omega-3 fatty acids boost the vitamin’s absorption, which, in
turn, boosts all the aforementioned benefits. If you don’t do so
already, consider adding spinach to your salad and sprinkle some walnuts
on top for optimal results.
