Sounds yummy and nutritious ! Hippo's take on some snacks.......


Do you know a bad snack from a good snack.?
It can be very misleading!

Here are some healthy snacks as long as moderation overrules your temptations.

1.Bean good.
2.Edayummy-Soybeans packed with protein ( the soybean trounces all other beans for protein) excellent for sprinkles on salad and munching.
3.Holy Kale- contains calories plus and sodium+ but it's kale - so go for it!

Then there are a few not so upfront about nutrition values that they list on label.
1.Hippie snacks-Coconot? not quite true to the label- good source of saturated fat though twice as much as on label.
2.Blue Monkey Coconut chips gets it right..... Numbers on label are right at least ! Don't forget to checkout fats on label.
3.Sweet potato tortilla chips contain more corn and oil than sweet potatoe.

I think that almonds, peanuts, seeds, and other nuts have more nutrients /vitamins, protein, and zinc and magnesium and unsaturated fats( lower risk of heart disease) without added salt or sugar.
Can be used for munchies.... Nuts make a excellent snack.


Happy Spring! 
Hippo.....
