Here are some healthy snack ideas to try:

Fresh Vegetables & Hummus - Nowadays, there is a huge selection of hummus available in your local grocery store. Take advantage of the fresh vegetables already cut up and ready to go in the produce section. Hummus will provide protein, brain-boosting essential fatty acids & calcium.

Homemade Trail Mix - Combine your favorite nuts such as pecans, almonds, cashew nuts & pistachios. Toss with some pumpkin seeds & dried cranberries & store in an airtight container. Avoid store-bought kind because it is often loaded with hydrogenated oils, salt & the fruit is coated in sugar.

Roasted Chickpeas - These are deliciously roasted in the oven with a pinch of salt & chili powder or toss in parmasen & garlic powder or cinnamon & honey for a sweet treat. Chickpeas are loaded with protein & fiber and quite tasty roasted in the oven at 375 degress for 45-50 minutes.

This smoothie is a great way to start your day with these powerful brain-healthy ingredients.
Organic blueberries provide plenty of antioxidants & increase blood flow to key brain areas for memory improvement & attention to required tasks.
Avocados provide plenty of monounsaturated fats that help reduce blood pressure & cognitive decline. Avocados can significantly improve working memory & problem-solving skills in older adults.
Bananas contain high levels of tryptophan, an amino acid, which is converted into serotonin in your body.
Chia seeds have a blance of soluble & insoluble fiber, which act as pre-and-probiotics. This means they help feed the beneficial bacteria in our intestines-the same bacteria that helps produce things like serotonin and other important neurotransmitters that help regulate your gut-brain connection.
Not only are pomegranates great for your physicial health, but research has shown that pomegranates may help improve mental health & well0being. Urolithins are anti-inflammatory & neuroprotective compounds created when the body's gut bacteria break down polyphenols, which are present in pomegrante extract32.
