Fresh Veggies

Tomatoes and green beans and carrots and cucumbers, oh my! Any of these fresh veggies is a marvelous healthy snack idea, especially if you skip the dip and eat them plain. They’re all loaded with antioxidants and all sorts of other energy-boosting, craving-busting nutrients. Furthermore, each of these veggies is easy to find, slice up, and take with you so you can enjoy them on the go.

2

Fresh Berries

Berries are also loaded with anti-oxidants, and they’re the ideal healthy snack option for someone with a sweet tooth (like me). The downside? Most berries are only in season in summer… though you can find them at most grocery stores as imports.

3

Dried Fruit

If you’re careful to choose a dried fruit without added sugar, these can also be a great healthy snack idea. I love dried cherries and figs and plums, and aside from being very portable, they’re another great snack for a sweet-loving girl. They’re also loaded with fiber… hooray!

4

Yoghurt

Again, as long as the yoghurt you choose isn’t jammed with extra sugar or fat, it can be a great snack. Look carefully at labels and choose wisely… avoid high fructose corn syrup and yoghurt made with full-fat milk. Add a little fresh fruit or granola for an even yummier, energy-packed treat!

5

Granola

Granola! Yes! Make a mix yourself at home, or buy one that’s (once again) not loaded with sugar, and granola can be another healthy snack idea. Granola made with whole grains and a little dried fruit an be a great mid-afternoon pick-me-up, giving you the natural energy you need to get through the rest of the work day.

Famous Quotes

If you have a harem of 40 women, you never get to know any of them very well.

Nuts

Hungry, craving a salty snack? Then skip the chips and opt for a handful of healthy nuts instead! Go for almonds, pistachios, macadamia nuts, walnuts, even peanuts… avoid added salt, and enjoy the savory flavor and added health benefits of these snacks: omega-3s, protein, and fiber.

7

Rice Cakes

Crunch crunch! Rice cakes are another fab healthy snack idea. They’re low in fat and Quaker makes them in pre-measures take-along pouches, ready to snack on with only 90 calories in each flavorful little bag.

8

Pomegranate Arils

This is my new favorite healthy snack idea. I love pomegranates, but they’re so difficult to peel! But Pom Pom sells a small container of the arils, all ready to eat, with a little spoon in the lid… how convenient, juicy, sweet, and tasty!

9

Citrus Fruits

This winter, protect yourself from a nasty cold by giving your immune system a boost with the vitamin C found in tangy sweet citrus fruits! There are so many to choose from, but my recent fave is the tiny sweet, easy to peel cutie.

10

Dark Chocolate

A tiny piece of dark chocolate can cure your chocoholic craving, and provide you with anti-oxidants and, let’s be honest, a little mood-boost. Feel free to indulge, just a little, once in a while.

There are so many other healthy snack ideas out there (just have a peek at Pinterest) but these are hands-down the healthiest and tastiest! Which of these healthy snacks is your own favorite? Or is there something else you’d like to add to my list? Please share!
