Snack time!

If you’re like me you’re dying for a snack between lunch and dinner. Snacks can be deadly! Snacks usually have to be quick so we end up grabbing chips, some type of sugar filled bar, chocolate, or that treat you hid from yourself last week.

This is where meal prep can save you a pants size! Here are my top 10 healthy snacks.

1. Peanut butter with banana, apple or celery.

2. Hummus with veggies

3. Palmful of unsalted nuts and dried fruits (raisins or craisins)

4. Edamame (you can always precook this and eat it cold or heat it up)

5. Guacamole and veggies

6. Whole wheat toast with peanut butter

7. Homemade tazizki sauce with veggies (you can use the tazizki sauce as a chicken marinade or make a chicken salad sandwich!)

8. Granola with almond milk or nonfat Greek yogurt. (Make your own granola or be mindful of the amount of sugar when buying it! Serving size of granola is usually 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup.)

9. Fruit and veggie smoothies (check out my breakfast post for a good recipe)

10. Beef jerky is great if you’re really on the go and need to pick something up from the gas station or grocery store. Don’t grab baked chips and tell yourself they’re healthy!

Remember serving sizes!!! Good fats can be bad fats if you’re eating too much of them!

  1. Everyone SHOULD be snacking, especially those eating 6 times a day as directed by many dietitions. Smart alternatives to other obvious, easier snacks. Good post!

  2. I eat home-made granola’s as snacks almost every day, and sometimes even with chocolate. I can’t live without my mid-morning and after lunch snack :p, thanks for the post!
