Have you ever gone so long without eating that you overate at your next meal? It\u2019s true that extreme hunger can lead to extreme overeating! Snacks are a great way to help balance energy and blood sugar levels between meals in addition to help you eat well all day long!<\/span><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s new blog and recipe video includes 3 simple and healthy snack ideas. Each recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free and features <\/span>Sunsweet Amaz!n Prunes<\/span><\/a>! Prunes are a favorite in our house! They are delicious to eat all on their own or a great way to add natural sweetness to recipes. Prunes also contain nutrients that are important for bone health, including vitamin K, which supports calcium balance within the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It may surprise you that research suggests eating 5-6<\/span> prunes<\/span><\/a> each day may help to prevent bone loss. In addition to being a great snack to support bone health, prunes contain 3 grams of fiber per serving, which can help contribute to regular digestive health. Prunes are also lower in sugar compared to other dried fruits and have a glycemic index of 29. This means that prunes are digested slowly providing the body with a slow and steady source of energy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
