It's hard to keep a piece of fruit fresh when you carry it around all day. Jeffery says we should be eating a diet made of whole foods, like fruits without added sugar.
Jeffery suggests that snack foods have at least 5 grams of protein per serving to give you all the macro nutrients needed. Canned salmon, specifically wild caught salmon, is an easy way to eat your protein on the go.
With 14 grams of protein, stroll past the beef jerky and reach for this healthier alternative.
Keep your hand out of the pretzel jar and snack on a veggie to satisfy your crunchy craving.
"Eat the rainbow", according to Jeffery, and eat foods that are a variety of colors that pack a lot of nutritional value in every bite.
Seeds and nuts are packed with omega fatty acids, which Jeffery advocates for in a well balanced diet. Hemp seeds are a trendy snacks that packs alot of nutritional value into a small seed.
Aside from fruits and vegetables, Jeffery believes that yogurt makes a great snack because of its high protein and antioxidant amount.
