Healthy snack ideas

Hi everyone,

I'm snack on really unhealthy things. Just wanted to find a few simple ideas for me to snack on instead. I love chopped veg etc- but wondering if anyone knows any other ideas...

My favorite thing right now is apples and PB2

I like boiled eggs cause they keep you full, also tuna. I like it plain but you can add plain Greek yogurt and dill to it or whatever herb you want and it's delic! High in protein and keeps you full.

Belvita breakfast crackers are amazing, there's 4 in a pack. Also, Zone chocolate peanut butter protein bars. Both are at Costco.

I love tuna mixed with avocado or guacamole and served on cucumber slices. Mixed berries, sargento cheese bites, nuts, carrot with peanut butter, apples with cheese, epic bars and RX bars.

Black forest organic gummy bears. Count out 16 and cut them in half. Sweet little juicy treat to snack on during a movie.

Hummus and crackers or bell peppers. Or a fruit smoothie

I always make better snack choices when I prepare them in advance. Whether it is pre-portioning crackers or nuts in a bag or making mason jar salads or snacks. Some ideas that have worked for me.

yogurt and cereal, granola or graham crackers
hummus and veggies
dessert hummus with apples, carrots and pretzels
cheese, dried fruit and nuts
boiled shrimp and cocktail sauce
crackers, cheese and fruit

By "unhealthy" do you mean high calorie?

Try turkey pepperoni instead of regular.

Try low fat cheese instead of regular

Try soy crisps or rice crisps instead of regular chips

Try pb2 instead of regular peanut butter

Try riced cauliflour instead of regular rice

Try making "fries" out of string beans instead of potatos

Try breading and baking zuchini strips instead of mozzerella sticks

I could go on more, but that's a substantial amount of "calorie hacks".

Tuna is my all time favorite!! Along with a serving size of almonds, tons of protein and healthy fats

Yasso Greek yogurt bars. 80-100 calories. 5-6g protein. Delicious

If the focus is calories...
Plenty of crisp varieties for sub 100 cals
Flavoured rice crackers
Kids ice lollies (e.g. Tesco ice lollies are 23 cals each)
Carrot and dip
Seafood sticks
Sugar free jelly

You can also get a variety of noodle that's something like zero-8 cals in 100g. I know Morrisons sell them but I used to get them from my local Chinese supermarket - they are konnyaku or shirataki noodles - best I can say is google it x

Make your own healthy bars. Dried cranberries, dates, walnuts and unsweetened coconut (I throw in some dark choc chips from food co-op). Mix together in food processor and slowly add 3 T water. Pour into baking dish and press down with handiwrap. Cover and keep in fridge. Cut a small bar when craving something sweet!

Greek yogurt

I arranged my food diary to have a meal called "Snacks". That's not remarkable. However, I intend to only put food in the Snacks meal if I've already earned it with exercise. For my way of thinking, that makes it healthy.

Halo top! I love their ice cream!

estherdragonbat

Veggie dogs, string cheese, mini croissants, dry cereal, popcorn

lilligraz22

Frozen fruit and Greek yogurt, in a food processor. Excellent and without the guilt.

bbell1985

No. I don't know of any other ideas. Only chopped veg. Sorry.

Those are a meal in themselves. Not usually a good idea for a snack.

I have a similar thing as a meal for breakfast.

If you like tomatoes, slice one or two large ones into thick slices, top each slice with a bit of plain greek yogurt, then sprinkle some dried mint or oregano on top. Easy and delicious. I often use fresh mint or basil from the garden, but if you don't have it no need to buy fresh, just used dried. If using fresh sandwich the leaf between the tomato and the yogurt so you don't pull it whole when you bite into it.

dutchandkiwi

ricecrackers with tomato

nyguyintucson

i just started calorie counting a week or so ago and have been eating alot of fruit for snacking. Mostly Cherries, Grapes, and oranges. Helps with the sweet tooth as well. I havent had any desserts which i used to almost daily.

I buy a punnet of grapes and a honeydew melon, chop the melon up on a Sunday night and section into 4 portions. Add 100g grapes per portion of melon. 4 days snack pots done and ready to grab.
