Mediterranean Diet SNACKS: Top 3 Foods to Eat and Why
This satisfying snack is packed with protein to keep you fuller longer. While the recipe keeps the seasoning simple you can add different herbs and spices to experiment with different flavor combinations.
Make a big batch of tzatziki to snack on throughout the week. Serve with crunchy fresh vegetables for dipping or spread on a whole wheat crispbread.
Another great snack that you can make ahead of time and store well in the fridge. At least 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil per day is what is recommended in the Mediterranean diet and a snack like this with olive oil is one way to achieve that!
