The most consumed and exported fruit in the world has always been a good option to fight hunger pangs between meals. High in potassium with a low glycemic index, bananas help manage the blood-sugar crash that strikes late in the day. Banana sushi just adds extra fun and flash (chopsticks optional) to afternoon snack time, and helps break the 3 p.m. coffee-muffin habit.
Simply coat a peeled banana in nut butter and chia seeds, coconut, pistachios or dark chocolate, and slice it into small portions for a protein- and nutrient-rich nibble.
Here are a few options we’re adding to our snack list this fall:
Nut butter, pistachios and chia seeds.
Peanut butter, chocolate, coconut, quinoa pops and pistachios.
Cinnamon, coconut sugar and puffed rice.
