Edamame
The filling combo of fiber and protein in edamame makes it an excellent choice when an afternoon craving hits. The bonus? Magnesium-packed soybeans may help with mood regulation. 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.
