Kane: “Alright folks, today we’re talking about the laughing vitamin — Niacin (Vitamin B3). Your body uses it for energy, brain function, and healthy skin. If you’re looking for snacks that pack a good B3 punch, here are some easy ones.”
🥜 Peanuts
- One of the richest snack sources of niacin.
- A handful of dry roasted peanuts gives a strong B3 boost.
🌻 Sunflower Seeds
- Crunchy, portable, and full of B vitamins.
- Toss them in yogurt or just snack on them straight.
🍗 Turkey or Chicken Slices
- Lean poultry is naturally high in niacin.
- A quick protein snack with lots of B3.
🐟 Tuna
- Canned tuna on crackers is a classic.
- One of the highest natural sources of niacin.
🍄 Mushrooms
- Especially portobello or cremini mushrooms.
- You can snack on roasted mushrooms or add them to wraps.
🥑 Avocado
- Creamy and nutrient-dense.
- Great on toast or with crackers.
🌾 Whole-grain Crackers
- Whole grains contain B vitamins including niacin.
- Pair with tuna or peanut butter for a double hit.
🍌 Banana + Peanut Butter
- Not super high alone, but together they make a solid B-vitamin snack.
Kane (laughing):
“Remember, niacin helps your body turn food into energy. Eat right, feel good, maybe even laugh a little more. That’s why some folks call B3 the laughing vitamin.”
