One of the most common questions I get from friends, family and strangers is about SNACKS.

What should I bring to work to eat because I get hungry around 3-4 pm?
What’s portable that I don’t need to make at home?
What’s simple that I can eat on the go between patients?
What’s odorless so I don’t annoy co-workers?

While I have classic answers – peanut butter and whole grain crackers, hard boiled eggs, air-popped popcorn, a piece of fruit and some nuts/seeds, or some leftover salad — they don’t fit all of the above criteria (namely, some of them staaank!).

With one of the busiest travel days upon us, I’m skipping my usual What I Ate Wednesday post to share a great, portable snack!

My friends know me as the snack queen because I never leave home without a snack…or a smile 🙂 …so I totally have a new solution for your travel woes – CRISPY ROASTED EDAMAME!

You can make this snack the night before and then pack it for work when you need a crunch, munch and protein punch (see what I did thereeeee???)!

What makes a great snack? 

A well balanced snack contains both fiber and protein with a bit of healthy fats. This winning combo will keep you satiated through any travel delay…or long afternoon at the office! But what’s a healthy snack without it being SATISFYING too?! If you’re full, but not satisfied, what good is that?!

Edamame is one of my favorite snacks because…

  • They’re satisfying soybeans…whether you’re slurping them out of their pods or popping my roasted version with a crunch, you’ll definitely feel satiated and satisfied after snack time.
  • These green beans contain 8 grams protein and 3 grams fiber per quarter cup, shelled (like in this recipe) for under 100 calories!
  • They’re versatile…eat them in their pods, sprinkled with lemon juice or roasted, like below!
  • They’re naturally vegan, gluten free, nut free, and dairy free!
  • They’re portable!

Eat up!
