Replying to @Kristina Larsen Walnut Stuffed Dates - the best Mediterranean Diet snack! What kind of snacks can you eat on the Mediterranean diet? The key to answering this question is again in the Mediterranean diet pyramid. Find snacks that fit the Mediterranean way of eating—mainly from the base of the pyramid. Things like nuts, fruits and vegetables, occasionally dairy in the form of fat free yogurt or other healthy dairy options. If you need something on the sweet side, opt for a small portion dried fruits like dates, figs, or dried apricots. Mediterranean Diet Snacks Ideas: 1- Nuts and Dried Fruits: Nutrition-rich nuts are filled with fiber, antioxidants, protein, unsaturated fat and omega-3 fatty acids. 2- Fruits and Vegetables: For their many nutrition benefits—including vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants—and fresh taste, fruits and veggies are very much text-book Mediterranean diet snacks. 3-Legumes like Beans and Chickpeas (yes, HUMMUS!): Legumes and pulses are rich in plant-based protein and fiber and low in fat, so they can help you feel fuller longer. 4- Greek Yogurt: A small portion (like 5 ounces or less) of plain Greek yogurt (fat-free or low fat) with a little fresh fruit is a good snack option, once in a while. 5- Early Harvest EVOO and Za’atar Snack: This is a bit of an outside-the-box Eastern Mediterranean snack. It involves excellent extra virgin olive oil, Za’atar—a spice mixture of Mediterranean wild thyme and toasted sesame seeds—and a small portion of whole wheat pita or your favorite whole grain crusty bread. #mediterraneandietsnack #mediterraneandiet #mediterraneandietrecipes #mediterraneandietmealplan #healthysnacks #healthysnack #healthysnackideas #snackideas #snacks #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #healthyliving #mediterraneanlifestyle #sweetsnacks #sweetsnack
