How To Satisfy Your 9 Types Of Food Cravings

The main function of snacking is to satisfy natural cravings between meals and help keep your metabolism going strong. But you shouldn’t grab just any food and start munching. Instead, your first step should be to identify exactly what you have a craving for, which will prevent you from wasting calories on things your body doesn’t really want. Your second step? Figure out what healthy food will satisfy that craving. Use the below guide to help you make every snack healthier and more delicious. Do you crave something…CRUNCHY? Then try: 1. Raw almonds. Today you can find them in so many different varieties, including plain, fresh almonds. Each is about seven calories, so eat about 15 for a healthy snack. Savor them, one at a time. 2. Kashi TLC Crunchy Granola Bars. These bars have joined Nature Valley as the go-to granola bar for health and flavor. They contain two bars (per package) totaling about 180 calories and are available in different flavors, including Honey Toasted 7-Grain, Pumpkin Spice Flax, or Roasted Almond Crunch. 3. Cut vegetables. To make things more interesting, try red peppers, green peppers, carrots, celery, cauliflower, radishes, jicama, green beans, cucumbers, and/or asparagus. Still not tempted?...
