Breakfast is an important meal of the day and starts us off with a new day of activity. Of the three meals eaten by you, an afternoon snack can be placed between breakfast and lunch. Such a snack can be eaten as a substitute for breakfast based on individual preferences; however, the snack is usually eaten with tea or coffee for adults while children may eat it as a morning snack. Afternoon snacks include dishes like fruit, biscuits, pastries, brownies, croissants, etc.
Reasons croissants a famous afternoon snack
A croissant is preferred as an afternoon snack for the following reasons:
- Croissants are delicious buttery snacks that well with tea, coffee or milk and can even be eaten without beverages. This comfort food is delicious on its own but is still often eaten with toppings like cream cheese, eggs, bacon, chocolate, jam, butter, etc.
- Much like most foods, croissants should not be eaten daily. This dish does not possess any special health benefits and is mainly a brilliant snack in terms of taste. The best way to enjoy croissants is to have them occasionally with hot drinks like tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
- Croissants involve about 200 to 500 calories per serving, this means that if it is eaten in moderation and paired with other healthy foods then they can even be eaten when you are dieting. The same cannot be said for most cakes that contain much fatter and sugary, while snacks with less sugar are unable to match up to the delicious buttery flavour and crispy texture of croissants.
- Croissants are a better alternative than sweet snacks like brownies, pastries, tea cakes, biscuits, etc. The dish contains less sugar and is also easier to customise based on your personal preference.
- Unlike many other afternoon snacks, croissants can be eaten with various toppings suitable to bread and can even be cut in half to add fillings. Cutting croissants in half and eating it like sandwiches is popular in North America where people usually add fillings like eggs, bacon, cheese, lettuce, etc.
- While a croissant is sometimes and sometimes not a healthy food, it holds higher nutritional value if it is eaten with fresh fruit, vegetables, egg whites, etc.
- A good example will be when you may be eating eggs and fruits for breakfast and a snack every day as part of your diet but add croissants once or twice a week as a snack to add variation to your diet.
