“I’ve always thought that snacks can be both delicious and nouraging,” says Daphne Ray, a food aficionado and health coach who has perfected the art of crafting high-fiber, anti-inflammatory goodies.
Daphne’s snacks are meant to be filling and to support gut health by lowering inflammation. Her favourite foods are fresh vegetable wraps, roasted chickpeas and chia seed pudding.
Chia seeds are an omega-3 and fiber powerhouse. Daphne says you get a creamy and filling pudding when you blend them with almond milk and a little cinnamon.
She says roasting chickpeas with turmeric and paprika is a flavorful choice. “Turmeric is anti-inflammatory; the crunch is so delightful!”
Daphne’s veggie wraps created from whole-grain tortillas are also quite popular. She piles avocado, hummus, spinach, shredded carrots.
“The fibre from the vegetables and the healthy fats from avocado keep you energised throughout the day,” she says.
These snacks are quick to make in addition to quite healthy. Daphne’s dishes are a must-try whether your goal is just for better snack choices or for control of inflammation.
“Your body will thank you for these little but delicious adjustments,” she says grinningly.
