We’ve all experienced it. Somewhere in the 3 o’clock hour, something weird happens. We suddenly want food. And quickly. Why 3 o’clock? Studies show that, for most people, the blood sugar drops, causing us to feel sleepy, unable to concentrate and ravenous.
When the slump comes, don’t go for coffee or a sugary snack.
Here are some energizing snacks to have handy when the craving hits.
Nuts: A mixture of your favorite nuts combined with dried fruit like raisins or blueberries are a delicious afternoon snack that is easy to prepare and store ahead of time.
Yogurt: Get your fill of protein with a cup of yogurt. Top with granola or berries for a little something extra.
Smoothies: Blend your favorite milk, berries, bananas or other fruit, protein powder or supplement, pour and enjoy!
