Keke Palmer has likely been all over your social media feeds lately, and for good reason. The One of Them Days star has had a candidly hilarious press tour, and she was most recently awarded Entertainer of the Year at the NAACP Image Awards.
In a video with the Youtube channel Cocoa Butter, we learned more about the star as she shared some of her favorite foods, including the snacks that she loves. Her snack picks are healthy, easy and packed with nutrients for a satisfying bite.
When asked what snacks she usually eats, Palmer had a few options.
“I mean, I can eat anything,” she said. “I like Partake cookies, hummus, wine—I don’t know that I’m a person that likes one specific snack.”
Partake is a brand of vegan, allergen-free packaged cookies. And they’re lower in added sugar; one of their chocolate chip cookies has just three grams of added sugar.
Hummus is also a nutritious and satiating option as it’s an amazing source of plant-based protein, fiber and healthy fats—and our Whipped Hummus is a fun option if you want to try making it yourself. Pair it with some pita chips or veggies to add some crunch with the vibrant dip. Plus, an occasional glass of wine can be a health-conscious choice as studies have shown that it may support your heart health.
But the actor notes that her favorite snack—besides a charcuterie board, of which she says “give me all of it”—is a two-ingredient combination that’s both healthy and easy.
“I like a little bit of the [Blue Diamond Almond] Nut Thins, very good with some tuna, love that,” Palmer shared. “Hey StarKist, it’s your girl!” StarKist also won our best canned tuna in oil category for our official canned tuna taste test, so we give a thumbs up to the Emmy award winner’s favorite brand.
Pairing tuna with seed or nut crackers is a high-protein savory snack that will help keep a busy entertainer like Palmer satisfied in-between meals.
Palmer clearly prioritizes nutritious, satiating snacks in her routine, and we’re loving it. Based on her picks, we think the star would love EatingWell recipes like our highly-rated Garlic Hummus and our Lemon-Dill Tuna Salad.
