Weekend Special: 7 Healthy Snacks For Weekend Binge-Watching Sessions

-

The weekend is almost here and so are our movie plans. Weekends are indeed an ideal time to engage in our favourite activities. Many of us like spending our weekend doing outdoor activities like shopping, going out for lunch, catching up with friends for drinks and more. But there are also people who love taking a back seat and enjoying their weekend in their house, snacking and lounging on their beds. If you enjoy binge-watching your favourite television programmes or movies over the weekend, then get ready to indulge in some delicious snacks along with it. These snacks are healthy and you can munch on them guilt-free.

Here Are 7 Healthy Snacks For Weekend Binge-Watching Sessions:

1. Popcorn

Popcorn and movies together can never go wrong. Popcorn is a nutritious food because it is made from maize kernels. But avoid slathering it in cheese or butter. Just prepare with little salt and oil. This simple and healthy snack can become highly unhealthy if too much salt and butter are added.

5. Hummus With Veggie Sticks

This is a great substitute for French fries and ketchup. Unlike them, hummus and veggie sticks are not rich in carbs and sugar. You can make fresh hummus at home and have it along with freshly chopped carrots or baked veggies like zucchini, beetroot, sweet potato, etc. For hummus recipe, click here.

6. Zucchini Chips

You can never go without a bag of chips when you're binge-watching movies. However, regular packaged potato chips are high in fat and carbohydrates. So, zucchini chips are a better substitute. They are inexpensive, have a very low-fat content. These can easily be baked without oil in 15 minutes.

7. Baked Beans And Chickpea

What could be better than a protein-rich snack like red beans and chickpeas? This snack can be made delicious by simply roasting the chickpea and beans for 20 minutes with some olive oil and seasonings. After baking, you can top it with barbecue sauce and a squeeze in lemon. Prepare this recipe an hour in advance to your movie session.

These healthy snack recipes will not take more then 15-20 minutes to prepare. So, make sure you take some time out before you start your binge-watching session.
