Nighttime Snacks

We probably all have been guilty of having a midnight snack once or twice. But what if a little snack before bed isn’t such a bad thing? What if, a snack before bed could help get us in shape?

Here are a few helpful snacks to have before you hit the sack.

Greek Yogurt – While your nutritional plan may already include some Greek yogurt, adding some right before you head to bed could provide a bonus to your metabolism. It is packed with protein and valuable to building lean muscle. Snacking on Greek yogurt before you lay down for the night can help burn fat also.

Almonds – A nice salty, crunchy snack at bedtime is more than just a tasty treat. Tossing back a handful of almonds will provide your body some additional fuel as it recharges. Almonds are a fat burning superfood that can assist in replenishing and repairing what your exercise routine does to your muscles during the day.

Protein Smoothie – A yummy smoothie has many ways to help your body on its path to becoming fit. Protein aides muscle soreness while you rest.
A few others: Pistachios, Banana with almond butter or peanut butter, or Cottage Cheese.
Your late-night snack doesn’t have to be a cookie or chips, you can help yourself to one of these ideas instead.
