Healthy snacks from everyday ingredients?

taylor_fairfax

Trying to find healthy snack ideas but I'm a college student with a minimum wage job. So i wanna know if anyone knows any healthy snack ideas that can be made from common grocery list items. Simple salads and such.

Here are some of my go-to snacks: hard boiled eggs, hummus & veggies, protein bars, Greek yogurt, beef or turkey jerky, popcorn, wasabi peas, apples & peanut butter, string cheese or cheese sticks

I have been doing Hummus and veggies too. I buy plain hummus or make my own. For variety I will add a mix-in like; diced pickled jalapenos, pesto, diced sundried tomatoes, diced roasted red peppers, roasted garlic or siracha.



I also buy a 8 oz block of cheese and cut it into 1 oz pieces. Then I take 1 oz cheese, mixed nuts and dried fruit.

@dklibert - where did you get those jars with the little cup insert? I love 'em!

@Queenmunchy those little cup inserts were a hack posted here on MFP recently. These are the little cups from the apple sauce single serving packs! So you can re-use those little cups.

@taylor_fairfax you might want to invest in some snack size plastic containers. Then you can repackage crackers and yogurt in to your own mini-packs and save a bundle. Chickpeas are good. They can be made in to a snack food by roasting them. Popcorn is inexpensive.

I recycle or use empty Dole fruit cups. But you can buy BNTO from Cuppow.

Wow! What a great idea!!

Cheese and crackers or peanut butter and crackers. Bagged carrots, and cut them in to baby carrots yourself.

I like reusing the apple sauce containers. Great idea!!
