A Muffin Is A Healthy Snack
When you are looking for a quick meal during a busy day at the office or on your way to a meeting, it can be hard finding something that is healthy, tasty and easy to eat. You can fall into an unhealthy meal if you choose fat-packed sandwiches, fizzy drinks and crisps. However if you are looking for a meal that satisfies your taste buds and fills you up, there is something available in coffee shops and cafes.
A skinny muffin and a soy milk coffee is a meal that is tasty and filling as well as being healthy for you. Or at least, it is not really bad for you like some of the other lunch options available.
You might be asking what makes this meal so convenient, filling and nutritional.
Well we know that it is convenient because they are pre-made by the coffee shop. It takes a matter of minutes to order and collect your drink and muffin so you can be on your way in no time. If you are walking or getting in a taxi you do not have to worry about spills because the coffee lid will prevent this. You also don’t need to think about a plate or knife and fork with your muffin because you can simply bite into it.
The reason behind the meal being filling and nutritious can be found in the ingredients that make this meal different from the non-healthy version of it. A skinny muffin is healthier than a normal muffin because the flour that is used is usually a mixture of wholemeal and soy flour. These two grains are slower burning than white flour and keep you feeling fuller for longer. They also usually have fruit as the flavour in them, not chocolate chips and caramel fillings that you are normally tempted by.
When it comes to the coffee, choosing soy or skimmed milk is the best option because it is a better source of protein than full fat or semi-skimmed milk, it is also much lower in fat content. Protein is a necessary source of dietary nutrient for the body and is very healthy. This is because it is digested slowly and is not absorbed as fat in the body. This again makes you feel fuller for longer.
When you need a quick meal that will satisfy your taste buds and keep you full, this option can be a better choice than readymade sandwiches.
