🧠 Expert Tips: How to Snack Smarter (and Happier)

🎯 1. Plan your snack attack.
Keep your fridge stocked with ready-to-go options—cut fruits, dips, hard-boiled eggs.

Even healthy snacks can turn into a buffet if you’re not mindful (we see you, trail mix).

🎯 3. Pair carbs with protein or fat.
This keeps blood sugar stable and cravings at bay.

🎯 4. Savor every bite.
Turn off TikTok. Taste your snack. Be present. You’ll feel way more satisfied.
