Your favourite healthy snack

[Canwegetanothercat]

Please list some of your fave healthy snacks. I need inspo, I’m sick of snacking on shit

Mine are somewhat healthy which is a step up from grazing on biscuits, chocolate, sweets and crisps 🙈 peanut butter about half a tablespoon and apple slices, yogurt with banana and strawberries, popcorn, malteasers, carrot sticks and hummus,

Frozen grapes are delicious! I sometimes put them in a bowl with the low calorie jelly powder and get a light coating on them before freezing, delicious.

Red peppers with hummus or a little soft cheese - my favourite.

Dates-plain or filled with peanut butter/walnuts

cucumber with a soya/chilli oil sauce

kimchi

White wine and crisps, they are both basically just fruit and veg. so must be healthy...

..in my book.

A whey protein shake with almond milk, keeps me feeling full and satisfied for quite a while. You can also put fruit in it.

a hard boiled egg with salt & pepper to dip it in. Only 78 calories and pure protein so will keep you full

An apple cut into slices with a tablespoon of good quality nut butter.

Nuts

Carrot sticks or red pepper slices and hummus. Less healthily, but a good energy-giving snack when you don’t want something fruit/vegetable-y, dark chocolate rice cakes with a scrape of peanut butter. Plain Greek yoghurt with fruit and seeds. A handful of nuts.

I also like this although sometimes I go for the cream dip.

Sweet and salty popcorn. Yes there’s some sugar but not much and there’s fibre

Nuts because they're very nutritious and filling.

Cashew nuts or pine nuts with blueberries or pomegranate - the actual fruit, rather than pots of pre-prepared. If you have the time, peeling a pomegranate is really satisfying and therapeutic! I also have the occasional square of very dark chocolate (70%+) with a cup of tea or coffee instead of a biscuit.

I really enjoy chopped fruit, a dollop of Greek yoghurt and a little sprinkle of granola.

Yes to all these and also rice and corn cakes, the type we feed our kids 😂and avocado on toasted rye bread (ok maybe that’s more like and actual sandwich..) almonds, green apple always seem more delicious when sliced somehow! And if you have almond or peanut butter, that’s perfect

Frozen fresh blueberries. You have to buy them fresh, then freeze them, the already frozen ones are just not as nice (in my book). Pistachios, few marmite cashews, thin rye crackers and nut butter, Greek yoghurt with toasted seeds and raspberries.

Bliss balls. Almonds, dates, maple syrup and cocoa powder whizzed in the food processor until it forms a paste.

Roll into balls and cover with dessicated coconut.

This sounds great please can you share the quantities / recipe?

Carrot sticks + hummous

a banana

a small piece of dark chocolate

Chopped apple and peanut butter

Greek yoghurt with chopped fruit, drizzle of honey and a lotus biscuit crumbled in!

Medjool dates- destine then put some peanut butter in, melt a bit of choc and drizzle it over the top. I usually add some chia seeds too. Put in the fridge. They’re delicious but you have to try and stick to only a couple!

Boiled eggs
cheese
greek yogurt
berries
apricots
watermelon
apples
kiwi
carrots
red pepper
spinach
olives
stuffed peppers (although they are very more ish)

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles May I also suggest a piece of carrot cake as a way of getting additional veg into your diet?

My favourite is a tin of mandarin slices, kept in the fridge so it's wonderfully cold when you open it. I don't know how they make them taste sooo good.
