A hearty snack does more than quell hunger - it can also improve your mood.
The secret is to eat something with carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats.
Carbs in foods like whole grains, fruits, and veggies reduce stress, the protein in eggs, dairy and beans keeps you alert and energetic, and omega - 3 fats in flaxseed, walnuts, salmon and sardines may ease depression.
Fish Fix - one slice of wholegrain bread, 1 1/2 ounces of smoked salmon and 1 slice of hard -boiled egg
Dairy Dose - one cup of plain yogurt and 1/2 cup of blueberries and 1 tbsp of walnuts
Protein Power- 2 tbsps of hummus, 1/2 cup carrots and 5 flaxseed crackers
