10 healthy snack alternatives, from protein bars to chips, that are easily accessible, suitable for functional nutrition, and do not contain refined sugar or gluten.

The sunny weather called to me this weekend. I wanted to feel the sunlight on my face and store energy. After a delicious breakfast with lots of salad accompanying my omelet, I brewed my fragrant coffee, filled my thermos and hit the road. My goal was to find a shaded place and enjoy my coffee after a nice walk. I walked slowly, listening to myself, my own body. With the effect of walking and the sun, my whole body became warm, and my mood improved; before I knew it, I arrived at Maçka Park. I went to the section where the benches were, it was early, and I was able to find a shaded place since the park was not very crowded. But I had walked more than I thought, and I felt a slight hunger that coffee couldn’t cut. At that moment I got angry at myself because I didn’t bring anything to snack with. I drank my coffee, sat down for a while and said, “What should we eat in such situations?” Thinking of my clients who said, I realized that this issue is a problem for all of us, and I rushed to write healthy snack options that we can carry with us or buy from markets.

Here are 10 healthy snack alternatives, from protein bars to chips, that are easily accessible, suitable for functional nutrition, and do not contain refined sugar or gluten:

ZĂĽber Vegan Hi-Protein Bite with Peanut Butter

The date flavor is so dominant in packaged bars and bites that I always felt like I was eating dates. That’s why I never liked any of them. But one day, when I read on the package that it was gluten-free, sugar-free and vegan, I wanted to give Züber Vegan Lokma a chance. I’m glad I did because the peanut butter taste is so good that you don’t even taste the date. The best feature of protein bars is that they are low in carbohydrates. By eating a bar, you can consume carbohydrates, protein and fat, so your sugar does not rise rapidly and you feel full. Vegan Hi-Protein Biscuit is one of the guaranteed satiety alternatives that you can always carry with you.

Fellas Mixed Nuts Bar

I must admit that the first reason why I love this bar of Fellas and what distinguishes it from others is that it tastes like a brownie. It has a very balanced sweetness, pieces of nuts, delicious cocoa and brownie consistency. When you have a sweet tooth, you can satisfy your cravings by eating a Fellas bar. Of course, it contains no additives, preservatives, gluten, refined sugar and is vegan. It can also be a dessert alternative for elimination. I can’t help but say that it goes very well with coffee. This would be the option I would take with me on my walk in the park. It would keep me full with the fat from the nuts and the carbohydrates from the dates and accompany my sun with the taste of brownie.
