A savory snack plate, sometimes called a snack board, is a simple way to eat something satisfying without reaching for sweets. Food trend coverage this year points to more people choosing salty and tangy snacks, and a board lets you combine them in a balanced way.
What to include
- Protein: cheese cubes, boiled eggs, or roasted chickpeas.
- Fiber: cucumber, carrot, cherry tomatoes, or whole-grain crackers.
- Fat and crunch: almonds, walnuts, or olives.
- Tang: pickles, pickled onions, or a small bowl of hummus.
How to build it
- Choose one protein, two vegetables, one crunchy item, and one pickled item.
- Arrange in small groups on a board so each item is easy to take.
- Keep portions small for a snack of around 250 calories.
Tips
- Look for pickles with less added sugar and salt.
- Those on a low-sodium diet should limit cheese and olives.
