Snacking smart will help you lose weight!
It may seem counterintuitive, but snacking can actually help you lose weight! If you’re hungry in between meals, grab a healthy snack. It will stop you from overeating at your next meal and from craving a quick, sugary energy boost. Your body needs fuel, so eating too little can be as bad for your health as eating too much. Choose snacks that are high in protein, fiber, and/or healthy fats. Protein is necessary for building muscle (which speeds up your metabolism), fiber keeps you full, and healthy fats help you burn fat. Here are 13 snacks to help you burn fat naturally. You’ll feel and see the benefits!
1. Sunflower Lentil Dip

Why do you NEVER publish the recipes of your lead photo. The snack balls look amazing….no recipe????
Tonni, We always publish the recipe of the main image at the top. It’s typically the last recipe, in this case #13. We do this so that the same photo isn’t on the same page as the main image.
Tonni- Just do a search for chocolate coconut almond balls. I did a search for chocolate balls and found some good recipes. Enjoy.
