Snacking has it's pros, and snacking has it's cons. Learning how to balance the two is key to learning how to snack right! Instead of eating that left over slice of pizza before dinner, imagine how many more your body will thank you if you replace that greasy, cheesy, carb overloaded slice with a healthier alternative. Best part? Healthy doesn't always mean boring. It may surprise you! Check out these 9 healthy snacks that will have you running back for more!
Celery & Hummus
This combo is the perfect summer snack! The crispy, nutrient packed celery pairs perfectly with the protein filled, mouth watering hummus.
Apples & Peanut Butter
I like to think of this one as the sweeter alternative to celery & hummus? Have a sweet tooth? Craving a sweeter snack? This one is perfect!
Greek Yogurt & Fruits
Feeling extra fancy? Top it off with some granola and dark chocolate chips. Delicious!
Oatmeal & Fruits
Now, I know what your thinking. Oatmeal? Gross. Here's a little secret. If you get creative with it, it has potential to become your favorite snack.
Baked Zucchini Chips
All I have to say is - wow.
Prepare a batch the night before and you'll be set for the rest of the week!
Trail mix
You can find trail mix at any supermarket, but if you feel like having some fun with it, you can even make your own! Combing a variety of nuts, dried fruit and dark chocolate is like candy but better.
Lettuce Wrap
Now this one comes with a ton of creative freedom! You can go as simple as wrapping a slice of turkey and cheese in lettuce, or some freshly cooked ground chicken/turkey topped with fresh veggies!
Green Smoothies
Again, green does not mean gross! There are a variety of yummy smoothies you can create in your own kitchen. My favorite? Apple, Kiwi, Kale and a touch of carrots. I promise it tastes amazing!
Traditional Greek Salad
I bet you had no idea that a traditional greek salad has no lettuce at all! It's only cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, olives, peppers, feta cheese and the traditional simple greek salad dressing! This is the perfect snack when you're in the mood for something light but filling. Double the portion, and you can turn it into a full meal!
