Spice Up Your Snack!

This may come as a big, "Duh!", but spicy foods are more satisfying than boring foods. You also probably know that one of the biggest challenges of a healthy diet is balancing the nutritional needs of your body with the satisfaction needs of your brain. We love our rice cakes, but let's be honest: they don't always do it for us during that crucial afternoon snacking hour.

That's why for a little spice in our snack, we like Majan's line of all natural Bhuja snack mixes. The Original mix has crunchy noodles, green peas, peanuts and a kicky curry spice that will linger on your tongue and keep further cravings at bay. Each serving contains 129 calories, 1 gram saturated fat, 171 mg sodium, 5 grams of protein and 12 grams of carbohydrates.

Oh, and mind the serving size! This is one of those good things that come in small packages. A little goes a long way!
