2. Morning Snacks

Are you someone who gets that mid-morning craving for a pick-me-up? Be prepared with healthy snacks, so you can avoid grabbing something of conveniences like a sugary muffin or potato chips.

– Berries

You should keep the amount of sugar in your diet to a minimum if you are concerned about mental health, certain fruits high in sugar like grapes and pineapple are best saved for a special treat. Berries, on the other hand, are low in sugar and high in vitamin C, great for boosting mood, energy, and immunity as they are packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.

You can also stock up on frozen berries so you always have some on hand, either for snacking, adding into smoothies, or spooned on top of a healthy dessert as they go all mushy when warmed up in the microwave.

– Nuts

Nuts are the perfect foods for snacking because not only are they easy to stock up and store, they’re also full of healthy fats! Almonds, and especially walnuts, contain the highest concentration of omega 3, which is important for your overall health – body, and mind.

What’s more is that you can snack on nuts by themselves, or mix them up with some dark chocolate, dried fruits, or even roast them with herbs and spice for a savory treat.
