Healthy Snacks

What are some good snacks that you eat that are healthy? I have tried hummus recently. I think I'm in love! It is quite yummy. I like eating it with baby carrots. I have even thought of making my own hummus. I also enjoy low fat yogurt. What do you eat that calms the snack monster but keeps you on track?

My favorite healthy snack is a fruit salad mixed with nonfat plain yogurt. Other healthy snacks include green salads and fresh raw nuts. Have you ever tried sliced cucumbers with lemon and Tapatio? Even my children love them!

Nuts are a great snack. I forgot about those. I have not heard of Tapatio. What's that?

[lrlady66]

Tapatio is a hot salsa that is usually sold on the aisle with the refried beans, jalapeños, enchilada sauce, and other delicious foods. I used to put it on my french fries but I can't eat fried foods anymore. Some other great snacks include home made trail mix with nuts, granola, raisins, and dried fruits.

So it is a bottled salsa? Sounds interesting. I will keep an eye out for it. I am in the south, so I am sure they will have that in the stores.

I usually don't eat snacks because I'm too conscious with my weight but when I do, I eat vegetable salad, I only mix light mayo so I won't feel guilty. Salads are high in fiber so it helps a lot in my digestion. I don't eat carbs on my snacks or any kind of fruit shakes.

I like a mixture of three fruits as a snake for me, I mix a banana, a pineapple and pawpaw. That mix can get me even through lunch time if I don't want to eat lunch.

My favorite healthy snack right now is my homemade chickpea salsa dip that I eat with some white tortilla chips. Its my cheat day healthy snack and I'm totally hooked. I just mix some canned chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, parsley, cilantro, garlic, chili and a dash of olive oil, salt and pepper in my food processor and voila! You got the perfect healthy dip that tastes divine.

I will eat a small handful of nuts for a snake. Other times, I will have a banana or some slices of pears or other fruit. You all have provided some other healthy options as well.

Healthy snacks I eat include fruit, vegetables, raw macademia and almonds, and my favourite healthy snack, coconut cream. I buy blocks of coconut cream and nibble on it through the day, delicious and good for you.
