6 Healthy Snack Ideas To Help Tide You Over

30 seconds

Healthy snacking doesn’t mean depriving your taste buds. It does mean fueling your body in a way that sustains you and doesn’t leave you hungry and wanting more. These palate-pleasing snack ideas are healthful and delicious:

1. Seasonal fruit with organic whole milk plain yogurt and freshly ground flaxseed or nuts.
2. Whole-grain, high fiber crackers with cheese or smoked salmon. Check the Nutrition Facts label and look for the option with the highest grams on fiber
3. A small handful of raw or lightly toasted nuts or a spoonful of unsweetened nut or seed butter. When choosing trail mix options, it’s best to avoid options with dried fruits and candies.
4. Cucumber or carrot slices dipped in hummus.
5. A hardboiled egg (look for omega-3-enriched eggs for added nutritional value) sprinkled with smoked paprika.
6. Fresh vegetables with organic plain yogurt – add fresh herbs and seasonings for more flavor.
