But what snacks to turn to, to take care of your health? Here is the response of our dietitian-nutritionist.
The ideal snack to which to turn is …
“”As a dietician, I reassure you right away: having fun is also part of a balanced diet, especially on vacation!“Confirms Julie Boët.
“So there is no point in counting each calorie by the water. The idea is not to choose the best snack nutrition perfectly perfect, but to find a balance between gluttony and satiety, to avoid fatigue or tickling uncontrolled later in the day”, she continues.
Thus, the classic sorbet, light, refreshing and adapted to the scorching period, turns out “poor in nutrients and little satisfaction“, Prevents the nutritionist.
“A pancake or a waffle, conversely, brings rapid carbohydrates and a little fat, which can be enough for an occasional snack, especially if you move a lot. For a more balanced snack, the trick is to add a source of protein: a drinking yogurt without added sugar or natural yogurt, some dried fruits, a handful of almonds, a slice of rolled ham In a cooler. underlines the dietician.
Another, easy and economical option: homemade snack, to be prepared before leaving. “A small salad of fresh fruit with a few nuts, a tart of whole wholemeal bread with almond puree, or a fresh cheese wrap. The ideal combo: carbohydrates for energy, quality lipids and protein for satiety”, says the expert.
“”In summary, on the beach, the best snack is the one you enjoy fully, without guilt, listening to your hunger. The balance is not played on a single snack, but on all of your meals. And remember: summer is also made to enjoy! “, concludes Julie Boët.
