According to a report by product marketing company Mintel called, Snacking Motivations and Attitudes US 2015, nearly all Americans (94 percent) snack at least once a day. What is more, half (50 percent) of adults snack two to three times per day with 70 percent agreeing that anything can be considered a snack these days.
The good news from this study is: Not only are consumers eating healthier snacks, but nearly one third (30 percent) of parents are serving healthier snacks to their children, particularly 33 percent of Millennial parents.
On my March 28th show Angie Murad, RDN, LD, CPT, the Wellness Dietitian at the Healthy Living Program at Mayo Clinic, will discuss healthy snacking options for parents and their kids, portion control and other tips for smarter eating.
