Have A Low Fat Muffin For A Fast, Healthy Snack
When you are on your way to the office or only have a few minutes to grab some lunch in between meetings, it can be a nightmare trying to find a healthy meal that is quick to prepare and easy to eat. Pre-packed sandwiches are often full of salt and fat, crisps are the same and sugary pop can rot your teeth as well as add hundreds of extra calories into your diet. However by heading to your local shop you can find a meal that ticks all of the boxes.
A skinny muffin and a soy milk coffee is a meal that is tasty and filling as well as being healthy for you. Well it is not as bad for you as other lunch time choices can be.
You might be asking what makes this meal so convenient, filling and nutritional.
Well, as the coffee shop makes everything for you, it is not hard to see where the convenience part comes in. You can be on your way in the blink of an eye when you order and collect your meal from the coffee place. Spills should not be a problem if you are walking or getting into a taxi because the lid will prevent any liquid from escaping. The muffin is easy to nibble at or just take large bites out of and you do not need to worry about a knife or fork.
The reason behind the meal being filling and nutritious can be found in the ingredients that make this meal different from the non-healthy version of it. The flour in a skinny muffin is usually a combination of wholegrain and soy flour. These two grains are slower burning than white flour and keep you feeling fuller for longer. The flavouring ingredients are usually also healthier, like fruit not chocolate chips.
Choosing skimmed or soy milk for your coffee is better than full fat or even semi-skimmed because the protein content is high but the amount of fat is seriously reduced. Protein is a necessary source of dietary nutrient for the body and is very healthy. It is healthy because it is digested slowly and at is not absorbed into the body. You should feel fuller for longer with this type of milk.
When you need a quick meal that will satisfy your taste buds and keep you full, this option can be a better choice than readymade sandwiches.
