Snack time is one of my favorite parts of the day.
I stick to the Mediterranean diet — which is regularly voted the healthiest way to eat — so my snacks aren't chock-full of sugar or processed ingredients. Instead, I try to pack them with antioxidants, healthy fats, and plant-based proteins.
And when I am snacking, I try to stay away from screens and truly savor my food without distraction — an often overlooked component of the Mediterranean lifestyle. It's a satisfying and welcome reprieve from my workday.
Since my days are usually super busy and I don't have much time to spare, my noshes are either prepackaged or simple to throw together.
Here are some of my go-to snacks as a dietitian on the Mediterranean diet.
