“For many of us working from home, that means the kitchen is always open. People have endless opportunities to snack throughout the day, which is actually more tedious than it sounds. As such, conscious snacking will be on the rise, with folks craving brain food to stay energized and feel good throughout the day.
Nutritionist Lisa Richards, CNC, says conscious snack foods should be “rich in antioxidants to improve brain health while also fulfilling cravings.” Leading the way in the brain food snack group is “dark chocolate, dried or fresh berries, and nuts to provide the body with free radical and toxin-fighting compounds.”
2020 saw the launch of Frühling, a luxurious nut-forward superfood trial mix, created by formed mindbodygreen editor, Mabel Nash Greenberg. With ingredients sough after by Michelin-star chefs, this conscious snack is not only brain food, it’s super smart. In determining the quantity of each ingredient (like rare Bronte pistachios and roasted cacao) Nash Greenberg took into account the recommended daily serving size of each vitamin and mineral. For 2021, she plans to launch even more brain-enhancing goodies.”
