After a long week, spending the weekend catching up on your favorite series is one of the greatest pleasures in the life of any adult, right? Only there’s a little problem: watching television makes you consume junk food. According to studies conducted at Loughborough University in England, there is a strong relationship between the number of hours spent in front of the television and the poor quality of food consumed during that time. In other words: watching your favorite series can increase the chances of consuming unhealthy foods. At Kiwilimón, we want you to enjoy your shows without jeopardizing your health, which is why we’ve made a list of the top 5 healthy snacks. Enjoy a good show while taking care of your diet with these 5 recipes: Kale Chips  Have you noticed that during the most exciting part of a movie or episode, you start eating more? This happens because your attention is focused on the screen and not on the food. With these kale chips, you can enjoy all the series you want without any guilt. Easy Hummus  Dips can be very tasty, but if you add up the calories of the crackers and the dip, you’ve already exceeded your daily calorie intake. Instead, we recommend a delicious homemade version that is full of health benefits. Pair the hummus with raw vegetable sticks or toasted pita bread. Sweet Potato Fries  Unlike traditional French fries that are full of carbohydrates and fats, these sweet potato fries are much healthier. Switching from frying to baking helps save a lot of calories, plus replacing traditional toppings with lighter versions contributes to making it a healthier snack. Peanut Butter with Chia and Flaxseed  Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a classic for snacking in front of the TV, but their industrial versions have too much sugar. To enjoy your series marathon without any problems, we suggest preparing these homemade sandwiches with slices of banana or pomegranate on the side. Spicy Seed Mix  We can assure you that snacking will be a healthy habit after you try this delicious recipe. You just need to mix the chilies and grind them to add to the seeds. If the combination is too spicy for you, you can tone down the flavor with sea salt, black pepper, and even a drizzle of honey. After reading these recipes, don’t you feel like lying down in front of the TV with a plate full of these snacks? Enjoy your favorite series without neglecting your diet with Kiwilimón’s recipes.
