For many of us who love to stay up late to complete a task we could not complete during the daytime.

Here are four (4) healthy snacks that could keep you going for the night until the next day.

Even though we are not against resting your body or taking a nap.

I am not a food expect, but from research conducted these snacks are healthy and when eaten carefully could go a long way.

You may have worked the hold evening and need a thing to eat, consider finding yourself in the kitchen.

Four foods that can help you out excluding rice (Smile).

1. Cereal and Milk:

If you’re trying to balance your calorie intake to help lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, replacing your usual dinner with a bowl of cereal and milk may help.

However, like any good diet plan, it only works if your daily calorie intake should balance or reduced to produce the results you desire.

You can add a little flavor to it by adding fresh or frozen blueberries, make nutritious additions to your dish of cold cereal.

If you like hot cereal at night, dried fruit and nuts add both texture and flavor.

Eating cereal as an evening snack may also help with weight control, according to a 2012 study published in the “International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition,”. Why not try it?

 2. Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich:

Study has shown that Peanut butter contains monounsaturated fat and has many powerful vitamins, protein, fibre and (at least seven grams of it).

Protein makes you feel fuller for longer and is also essential for repairing and building muscles.

There are two grams of fibre in two tablespoons of peanut butter. Fibre helps keep our digestive systems healthy.

Basics, A sandwich made from 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of any flavor of jelly and two slices of white bread has 376 calories, 13 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of dietary fiber.

Healthy Fats, Vitamins, Minerals, to take into considerations: Get yourself a fix of this yummy snacks. Use the best bread you can.

  • Use organic, natural peanut butter.
  • Use organic, low sugar jam.
  • Make your own chia seed jam.
  • You can use raw honey instead of jelly or jam.
  • Use fresh fruit instead of jelly or jam.
  • Use a different nut or seed butter.
  • Add ground flaxseed meal.

Why not try it out?

   3. Yogurt and Fruit:

Considering the benefits of eating yogurt, from regulating bowel movements and promoting a healthy gut to fighting infections, incorporate this super food into your diet each day,

People who regularly eat yogurt help their body to produce vitamin B studies says.

It is a dairy product made by fermenting milk with a yogurt culture.

It provides protein and calcium, and it may enhance healthy gut bacteria.

Yogurts contain calciumvitamins B6 and B12, riboflavin, potassium, and magnesium. The amounts depend on the type.

Fruits are sources of many essential nutrients  & are under-consumed, including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and folate (folic acid).

Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure.

Some healthy fruits include; Grapefruit. Grapefruit is one of the healthiest citrus fruits.

Pineapple; Among the tropical fruits, a pineapple is a nutrition superstar.

Avocado; Avocado differs from most other fruits.

Just to name a few; Blueberries, Apples, Pomegranate, Mango and Strawberries.

They are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and disease-fighting phytochemical.

Because of this, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables every day can help reduce your risk of Heart disease.

So in a short notch joining these two gives you a chance of healthy life and days.

4. Popcorn: 

Air-popped popcorn is naturally high in dietary fiber and antioxidants, low in calories and fat, and free of sugar and sodium.

This can make it an attractive snack to people with dietary restrictions on the intake of calories, fat or sodium. For the sake of flavor, however, large amounts of fat, sugar, and sodium are often added to prepared popcorn, which can quickly convert it to a very poor choice for those on restricted diets.

A cup of plain pop only contains around 31 calories (compared to a cup of regular potato chips which holds around 139 calories not exactly great) study says.

Popcorn also contains fiber and is the only snack that’s 100% whole grain. And whole grains are superb for you because they contain those antioxidants.

Fiber promotes healthy digestion, so increasing the amount of popcorn you eat can help you deal with digestive problems, such as constipation and diarrhea. 

The University of Scranton reported a study in 2012 that found the antioxidant concentration of popcorn to be much higher than expected.

In fact, the study found the concentration of polyphenols in popcorn surpassed that of most fruit. Popcorn is only 4 percent water, compared to the 90 percent water content of most fruits and vegetables.

Don’t ditch your fruit just yet, however; popcorn doesn’t have all the vitamins and minerals offered in many fruits.

These four snacks will help you live a healthy life. If you have something to add, please comment below.
