3 healthy alternatives to an unhealthy snack

Do you fancy an unhealthy snack? We give you 3 healthy alternatives. Bet you still like them too?

Tosti with white bread and cheese

Sounds good, but is a real calorie bomb. So it will not give you anything except extra fat storage.

Healthy alternative:whole-wheat-tosti with goat's cheese and tomato

The fibers in tomato keep your blood sugar level up and goat cheese is easier to digest than cow's milk cheese.

Coffee

If you try to get rid of your fatigue by drinking coffee, your energy will be in the red. The maximum is five small cups of coffee per day

Healthy alternative:natural-boosters

Ginger tea, ten minutes outside for a breath of fresh air and giving someone a personal compliment are natural boosters. Various studies have shown that giving a genuine compliment gives an energy kick, joy and appreciation. That's because the reward system in your brain is activated.

Alcohol

Well, one snack can give you a nice trance, but everything after that becomes more taxing than relaxing for your body. Digesting one alcoholic drink will take you about an hour and a half.

Healthy alternative:tonic, spa or tea

And if you still want to turn it into something festive, you can of course also opt for an alcohol-free beer or a cocktail without alcohol.
