Best Snacks to Lose Belly Fat

If You Want to Feel Healthier, These Snacks May Help

Certain foods have been proven to help decrease belly fat, which means the foods you choose at snack time can actually help you slim down your belly. Go for ingredients with whole grains, like oats, as well as monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) like avocado, nuts, and seeds.

Berries such as blueberries are also key belly-fat fighters, along with fibre-rich fruits and vegetables like raspberries, greens, and beans. For a protein-packed snack, don't forget about lean protein, especially fish like salmon, eggs, soy products, and plant-based protein powders; they can also help diminish visceral fat around your inner organs.

Here are some snack-recipe ideas that include these ingredients to satisfy your hunger and help reduce your belly fat. Some of these are recipes for meals, so just prepare smaller, snack-size portions.
