Healthy Snack Program

With a busy work schedule, it may feel like there's no time for healthy eating

And when you do stop to snack, it's probably tempting to go the quick and easy route by grabbing a candy bar or bag of potato chips.  But it is possible to treat yourself to a healthy snack. In fact, if you have a hectic schedule, it's even more important to eat healthy foods that give you the fuel you need to keep going.

Even if you take time to eat three meals a day, you may still feel hungry at times. What's the answer? Healthy snacks. Snacking on nutritious food can keep your energy level high and your mind alert without taking up a lot of your time.

BlueStar has consulted with a well respected nutritionist whom we like to call our CNO (Chief Nutrition Officer) but you may know her as Leslie Funk.  Leslie has worked with us to develop an approved list of truly “healthy snacks” that also taste good!  Just because something is "all natural" or "pure" doesn't necessarily mean that it's nutritious. For example, "all natural" juice drinks or sodas can be filled with sugar (which is, after all, a natural ingredient) but all that sugar means they'll be high in calories and give you little nutrition.

A granola bar is a good example of a snack that people think is healthy. Although granola bars can be a good source of certain vitamins and nutrients, many also contain a great deal of fat, including a particularly harmful type of fat called trans fat. On average, about 35% of the calories in a regular granola bar come from fat. And there can be a lot of sugar in granola cereals and bars.

So call us today to learn more. We will be happy to custom design a healthy snack program that meets your goals, fits your budget, and tastes great!
