With the end of the holidays and the return to school and work routines, finding healthy snacks that are both appealing to children and suitable for adults can be a challenge.

The key is to choose options that are nutritious, practical and easy to transport, and tasty, all at the same time. In this context, it will be important to choose snacks that are a source of fibre, protein, healthier fats and complex carbohydrates, to the detriment of snacks rich in saturated fat (which has a more negative impact on health) and white sugar.

To help you with this mission, the team of nutritionists at Oh! My Snacks has come up with a few suggestions from our portfolio to ensure that everyone has the energy to face the day.

 

1. Dehydrated fruit: Fruit is almost always a safe bet. It's a light, fresh snack (for a time when it's still hot) that provides vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates for general well-being throughout the day. At Oh! My Snacks we have several dehydrated fruit options, such as pineapple, banana, apple, pear or strawberry.
2. Fruit Bars and Balls: Still in the fruit field, we also have fruit bars and balls made with a date base and various variations of fruity flavours, such as apricot, strawberry, pineapple and orange, always with the inclusion of real dehydrated fruit.
3. Nuts: Walnuts, almonds and cashews are excellent snacks rich in protein, healthy fats and fibre. Whether in our natural mixes, salty fusions or nuts bars, you can find different combinations of nuts to add variety to your snacking.
4. Raw bars: Based on dates, oats and nuts, our raw bars are also a very versatile and tasty snack that will delight the whole family. Furthermore, they are a great source of fibre and vegetable protein, some of which do not contain gluten ingredients in order to cover more specific dietary needs. With various combinations, just choose the flavour you like best!
5. No added sugar cookies: In the category of cookies, one of the most popular options for break times, we also have several no-sugar-added options that are a source of fibre, to make this type of snack more balanced than the usual options on the market.
6. Protein Balls: Made with carefully selected, natural ingredients and no added white sugar, our protein balls are ideal for supporting an active and healthy lifestyle. Available in a wide variety of flavours, from chocolate to tropical fruit, we also have vegan and no gluten ingredients options to suit all tastes.
   
   

Conclusion:

Preparing healthy snacks for back-to-school and back-to-work doesn't have to be a chore. With our help, you can ensure that both adults and children have access to nutritious and tasty options that will help maintain the energy they need for a productive day at school or work. Find out now which options your family likes best!
