It can sometimes be quite a challenge to always eat healthy, especially when you are on the road a lot. Your sleep pattern also influences whether or not you go for the unhealthy snack earlier or not. Because when you have a bad night's sleep, you are more likely to need unhealthy snacks. But how do you deal with these cravings?

Suppressing the appetite is not an option. It is wiser to take a snack, but make sure that you go for a healthy option. In this article we give a number of handy, healthy protein-rich snacks for on the go!

There are many types of protein powders on the market. Look carefully which one you take, because in many cases the cheapest are certainly not the best. Also take a good look at the ingredients list and consider whether you are dealing with a reliable producer. The best quality proteins are rich in nutrients and do not contain harmful ingredients such as refined sugars and artificial additives (eg aspartame, sorbitol and saccharin), soy, wheat gluten, preservatives and inferior proteins.

Ekopura therefore only uses organic ingredients that are guaranteed to be pure and clean.
