GP’s Favorite Snack Foods
Snack time—otherwise known as those moments in space when you’re so ravenous you can put down a whole bag of pretzels—is challenging. Beyond wanting something healthy, it’s tough to find things that are satisfying without being overly filling. Here are four of GP’s favorites for any time of day and any hunger level, whether you just need a refreshing drink as an afternoon pick-me-up or a hearty kale salad to keep you going from an early lunch to a late dinner.
GP's Favorite Chicken Salad
GP is obsessed with the chicken salad from Round Swamp Farm in the Hamptons, so we had to figure out how to recreate it. After a couple attempts, we finally nailed an organic, slightly lightened-up take on it. Perfect with crackers, crudité, or as a sandwich, this protein- and zinc-packed salad hits the spot any time of day.
Beauty Seed Bars
Granola bars are a perfect morning or afternoon snack, but so many of the ones on the market are full of sugar and not much else. These seed bars are gluten-free, packed full of antioxidants thanks to all of the seeds, and just sweet enough.
Spicy Cilantro Lemonade
The perfect afternoon pick-me-up, this spicy agua fresca is a great way to get a beauty-boosting dose of Vitamin C and alkalizing lemon juice. It also makes a really good base for a tequila cocktail, if you’re so inclined…
Crunchy Kale Salad with Blood Orange Vinaigrette
The combo of raw kale and crunchy kale chips in this salad is a revelation. Plus it’s full of iron, good fats, and antioxidants, which means its great for your body both inside and out—an all-around winner.
