Life/ 25 Healthy snack options



Snacking for me was a huge adjustment because I love chips and sweets. I am a firm believer in everything in moderation, so portion control has helped me with snacks. I have learned to embrace healthier snacks that taste good and I don't feel deprived. Do I still enjoy chips and sweets, yes and I watch portion in moderation? I snack healthy the majority of the time though and will be sharing some of my favorite snack combos.
  • Greek yogurt and fresh fruit
  • Peanut butter and sliced apples
  • Applesauce and nuts 10-12 nuts
  • Homemade trail mix (example: nuts, dried cranberries, and honey nut cheerios)
  • Smoothies made with fresh greens and fruits
  • Sliced cucumbers with salt and pepper 
  • Small salad with dried cranberries and apples with a homemade vinaigrette
  • Celery and peanut butter
  • Cheese stick and fresh fruit
  • Strawberry oatmeal bar recipe here 
  • Homemade Pineapple/banana pops recipe here 
  • Sliced fresh strawberries and kiwi and almonds 
  • Grapes and cheese
  • Watermelon chunks
  • Multi-grain Tortilla chips and organic salsa
  • Mixed nuts 10-12 nuts
  • Tomato and cucumber slices
  • Hummus and celery and bell peppers
  • Ezekiel bread and almond or peanut butter
  • Applesauce with cinnamon
  • Blueberries and cashews 10-12 nuts
  • Dried fruit
  • Peaches and cottage cheese
  • Carrots and hummus
These are a few snack options and you can customize and mix and match to your taste. I have found that snacks are key to curving hunger and getting your vitamins so snacking healthy is important. Tell me some of your healthy snack choices below.
