“I've just been running, running, running today!” No, that's not a marathoner, telling you about their latest race, it's your overworked friend telling you about her schedule. There really is no rest for the weary, and some people just seem to be on the go constantly. How do they get it all done? What they definitely don't do, is feed themselves junk or rely strictly on coffee for their energy. Although we're not judging your fourth cup. No sir. But if you feel like you're always on the go, and you want to get it all done without being completely beat down at the end of the day, then you may want to take a second look at what you're eating. It will come back to bite you if you aren't getting the proper nutrition, so check out some of these great snacks for busy people.
Homemade or DIY Trail Mix
Trail mix is practically the king of healthy snacking options. That's probably because making it yourself gives you an almost unlimited array of ingredients that can be thrown together. Cashews, almonds, peanuts, raisins, cranberries, pretzels, and yes, even a few chocolate chips, can all go into your homemade trail mix. It'll provide you with tons of energy throughout the day, and making it yourself is usually cheaper than buying a bunch of bags from the grocery store.
Hummus and Veggies
A container of hummus and some celery or carrot sticks is a great tasting snack that will give you the energy you need to make it through your day. There are a ton of different flavored hummus options out there, or you can easily make it yourself.
Ants on a Log
There are a few variations of this one, but the most popular is celery sticks topped with peanut butter, topped with raisins. Feel free to use a different kind of nut butter if you want, and we've also heard of people swapping out the celery for carrots.
Kale Chips
Kale is in right now, no doubt about it. Some people aren't too fond of the taste, but homemade kale chips let you spice things up a little without losing all the nutritional benefits. Wash your kale, tear it into pieces and set it on a baking tray. Drizzle it with olive oil, and add sea salt and spices. Then bake at 325 degrees for about 12 minutes or until crisp.
Hardboiled Eggs
Hardboiled eggs are incredibly easy to make, they travel well, and they're full of nutrients to help you get through that busy day. They'll help satisfy your hunger, and keep you from heading to the vending machine later on. And of course, don't forget about Promax protein bars - perfect for people on the go.
