The world is so big, I want to see it. For a foodie, nothing is more important than travel and delicious food! A spontaneous trip must be accompanied by delicious snacks to be considered a true love! In every journey, "snacks" play a key role. But eating too many snacks can lead to weight gain. Let me recommend some "slimming snacks" for you, and see which one is best for travel.
Apple
As the saying goes: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." During a trip, due to a lot of exercise, the body is prone to produce free radicals, which can cause damage to the body. However, apples are rich in high-quality antioxidants that can effectively repair this damage. Besides apples, natural sugar-free nut butters can provide a balanced ratio of protein and fat, making them its "best partner."
Recommended to carry: One apple + two tablespoons of peanut butter (or almond butter) is about 150 calories.
Mixed Nuts
Chew on mixed nuts for an energy boost. In the past, people used to carry sugared nuts and other snacks when traveling, but these nuts were both expensive and unhealthy. For today's travelers, a bag of their own mixed nuts is the best choice, with walnuts and raisins being the top picks. Walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties, while raisins are a "portable energy bank" that can provide a concentrated source of energy.
Recommended to carry: 8 walnuts + a small box of raisins, about 150 calories.
Chocolate
Be selective when choosing chocolate. People are used to carrying chocolate for spring outings, but what kind is the healthiest? Research suggests that the ideal chocolate for travel should have a 2:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein, and contain about 5 grams of fat and 3 grams of dietary fiber. Of course, the chocolate you eat while traveling should also be delicious.
Recommended to carry: Toffee nut chocolate, about 190 calories.
Yogurt
Choose unsweetened yogurt. Drinking yogurt has become synonymous with "pursuing health" because most yogurts are an ideal combination of protein and carbohydrates. However, when buying yogurt for travel, be sure to choose an unsweetened type. Because fruit-flavored yogurts with too much sugar not only add unnecessary calories but also lack the beneficial fruit fiber for the body. Drinking yogurt while traveling can increase the calcium needed for bones and make our muscles stronger, making it very suitable for hikers.
Recommended to carry: One cup of low-fat plain yogurt + half a cup of sliced fruit, about 175 calories.
Snacks Not Recommended
Snacks like egg yolk cakes are too sweet and can easily cause bloating. Carbonated and fruit drinks can also cause bloating, so plain water, light tea, and mineral water are the best choices. If you keep eating peanuts and melon seeds, your stomach will feel uncomfortable. In addition, eating too many dried fruits and nuts can easily lead to excessive internal heat.
