• Top breakfast: carrot and ginger donuts

Snacking between meals is one of the main

enemies

when it comes to taking care of the diet.

In the period between one meal and another,

hunger

and

boredom

collude so that we betray our healthy diet with some

poorly nutritious snack.

This habit has also exploded with

teleworking

.

Emilia Cancer,

member of

the Management Committee of the Nutrition Area

of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) notes that "one of the problems of working from home is falling into

snacking

and doing it frequently translates into

dietary transgressions

that will have undesirable consequences".

Snack between meals: how to avoid uncontrolled temptation

One way to keep gluttony in check is

planning

.

"The organization will reduce uncontrolled snacking between meals," says Cancer, "in addition, we will not cook more food than we need and, with it, we will spend less.

It is best to have

three main meals

: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

And, when between two meals more than

four or five hours are going to pass,

have a snack, but also plan to reduce, mainly, the consumption of saturated fats, refined sugars and salt.

Mini vegetables, healthy snacks that will win you over

To maintain weight it is not strictly necessary

to give up snacking

between meals, but you do have to opt for

nutritious

snacks that provide benefits to our body and not just empty calories.

Healthy snacks usually have as essential pieces

fruits

,

natural yogurt

or, perhaps, a whole wheat toast accompanied by a topping.

Now the ones claiming their reign are

vegetables

in

a mini version

.

A way to snack on something tasty and very healthy.

A very

realfooder

appetizer , that concept that has swept through to become a lifestyle.

The so-called

baby vegetables

offer many options for all tastes.

And they gain ground in the world of

horticulture

thanks to their boom.

Cherry tomatoes

, mini cucumbers, reduced-size aubergines, small peppers, tiny

carrots

... They seem like toys, but these foods are an exquisite reality.

How to include mini vegetables to snack between meals

The easiest option is to consume

them alone

, of course.

Or resort to a classic

mix of pickles

.

But there is also room for more creative recipes where you can get the most out of them.

For example, a

cheese toast

with

tomatoes and arugula.

Carrots

and

eggplants

are

great to accompany a

hummus

.

The

cucumber

gains a lot of flavor if you spread it with cream cheese.

And the

pepper

pairs perfectly with some preserves such as anchovies or sardines in extra virgin olive oil.

In addition, thanks to their small size, they are perfect to take with you and

satisfy your appetite

anytime, anywhere.
