5. Steamed Edamame
“This is a great option for a filling snack since it has both protein and fiber,” Zhu says. “It’s also a complete source of plant-based protein, which provides all the essential amino acids our bodies only obtain through food.” One cup of shelled edamame only contains 188 calories. Plus, the de-shelling can help serve as a fun distraction while you munch.
Try topping a cup with a pinch of cayenne pepper and sea salt for a tasty snack. Better yet, sprinkle on a bit of coconut aminos and toasted sesame seeds for even more flavor.
6. Raspberry Chia Jam with Yogurt
Chia seeds are good sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of plant-based omega-3 fatty acid that has been linked with a lowered risk of cardiovascular disease. This incredible source of healthy fats can be easily incorporated into your diet by adding them to salads, smoothies and yogurt.
This fruity chia seed jam only has four ingredients. Per tablespoon, it only has 20 calories but packs in two grams of fiber. Spoon a tablespoon or two on your favorite low-sugar yogurt for an irresistible snack packed with fiber and protein.
