Eating healthy is easy. Eat fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grains. The rest is on demand. The number of meals is any comfortable. It has not been proven that 5 meals a day are healthier than 3 meals, and vice versa. Children and active adults who expend a lot of energy need 1-2 snacks to replenish energy reserves. And here’s the question: what snack to choose for yourself and your child, if it’s far away before lunch or dinner, and you are already hungry?
Snack – good or bad?
There is no definite answer in any study. Some people believe that additional meals can help prevent overeating. Others believe that it is because of snacks that people often exceed their calorie intake.
Therefore, you need to listen, first of all, to yourself. And eat as many times a day as you need, so as not to starve and overeat. Pay attention to the composition of the product and eat enough to feel light and comfortable.
Since snacking is not your main meal, it should be light. Nutrition experts advise not to exceed 200-250 kcal. And add at least 10 grams of protein. Ideally, these are eggs or cottage cheese, which can saturate for several hours.
You can supplement proteins with fiber. For example, cottage cheese goes well with berries and flax or chia seeds. You can add cheese or a piece of red fish, an egg or thick yogurt with pieces of vegetables or berries to the bread. Suitable for both children and adults.
The right snack if there is no time
It is best to prepare snacks ahead of time, in your kitchen, and throughout the day if you and / or your child are going to be taking them out. But, given the current pace, sometimes there is absolutely no time for that. Then you can just buy a ready-made snack.
For example, a small package of oatmeal cookies will do. Why oatmeal? Because it’s healthier. Oatmeal cookies have many advantages over sugar, nut or shortbread cookies:
- It has fewer calories. On average, 300 kcal in oatmeal versus 450 kcal on average in shortbread.
- It contains less fat and more protein, fiber and calcium than other types of biscuits.
- Oats help build healthy muscles, reduce asthma in children, improve digestion, increase insulin sensitivity, reduce the risk of diabetes, and more.
That is, oats in cookies are an easy and enjoyable way to include healthy grains in your diet. It is only desirable to choose the most correct oatmeal cookies. One that can quickly saturate with a small portion, recharge with energy and at the same time will not disturb the balance of KBZHU.
And remember that oatmeal cookies, even with healthy additives, remain cookies. Therefore, you need to use it in moderation and from trusted, reliable manufacturers.
An excellent option is oatmeal cookies from the Khlebny Spas factory. It is a well-known manufacturer of regular oatmeal cookies, one of the leaders on the Russian market.
Khlebny Spas does not use artificial preservatives, dyes, GMOs and other artificial additives in its products. This is emphasized on the packaging. You don’t need to look for this information in small print.
The composition of the oatmeal cookies from this factory is also in favor. And although in the first place we see wheat flour of the highest grade, let it not bother anyone. Today it is impossible to prepare baked goods on an industrial scale without such flour. In addition, further in the list of ingredients are oat and rye flour, barley flakes, dietary fiber – that is, the necessary fiber in the digestive tract. Flax and sesame seeds in cookies indicate that they are fortified with healthy omega-3 fatty acids. This means that the product satisfies hunger for a long time and gives a feeling of satiety.
KF “Khlebny Spas” has a wide range of products. Only one “Oatmeal collection” includes several types of oatmeal cookies – “Assorted cereal”, “Multigrain” stuffed “Apple and cinnamon”, “With chocolate pieces”, “With sesame and ginger”, etc. And everyone has a simple and understandable structure:
- Oat flour;
- Premium quality high oleic oil that is significantly better and healthier than usual;
- Hypoallergenic sunflower lecithin instead of allergic soy lecithin;
- Sprinkles from natural seeds and cereals.
Due to the sprinkling of cereals, sesame seeds, flax, etc. the liver gives special flavoring tones. On the new packaging of the Oat Collection, the main composition is clearly marked in the form of icons. Therefore, finding the right taste will be easy and simpler to make a choice.
Cookies from KF “Khlebny Spas” are not only tasty and healthy, but also safe
The products of the Khlebny Spas confectionery factory are chosen not only for the bright taste and high-quality composition of the products. The company stands for safety and environmental friendliness in production processes and in packaging material.
Cookies are produced in recyclable types of plastic: polypropylene, polystyrene.
The updated design of the Oat Collection range features large highlighted labeling icons to guide shoppers on how to properly handle packaging after use. For Khlebny Spas, the idea of separate waste collection and proper disposal of packaging is important. And the company broadcasts it to consumers: “Proper waste disposal minimizes harm to humans and nature.”
At the same time, the Khlebny Spas CF has been actively carrying out systematic work to reduce the use of plastic for several years. It has already been possible to reduce the weight of the plastic corrector by more than 20% – the substrate on which the cookies are laid inside the package so that they do not break or dry out. At the same time, the assortment of oat biscuits in the Family Packing format (up to 500 grams) with double correction was expanded. The weight of the double correction is 5% lower than in two 250 gram packs of oatmeal cookies. This means that less plastic is needed for its production.
The company is confident that the future of enterprises depends on their current attitude to environmental issues in general and to the environmental friendliness of their production. The cleaner the products, the more popular and demanded they will become in the world market. The eco-policy of Khlebny Spas has resulted in a high level of customer confidence and a stable demand for the factory’s products.
