Snack time is when most cravings start to get the better of you. A bag of potato chips often sounds simpler and tastier than munching on celery. But before you decide to indulge, there are a few options to consider that will both satisfy your cravings and keep you healthy.

Parfait

This tasty snack can satisfy your need for something sweet without giving you a sugar crash. The fruit, yogurt, and granola in a parfait combine together to make a healthy treat that will leave you feeling satisfied. If you have celiac disease and are taking steps towards gluten freedom cinnamon muesli is occasionally made without the use of gluten.

Trail Mix

If you’re wanting a salty snack, trail mix is a great option. Nuts are high in protein which is needed to give you energy throughout the day. The additional protein makes trail mix a perfect snack to fill the stretch between lunch and dinner. Dried fruit such as raisins or banana chips keeps things sweet while offering a healthy source of fiber.

Hummus

Chickpeas, the main ingredient in hummus, are a great source of protein and fiber. Just about anything makes a tasty snack when dipped into a bowl of hummus. Vegetables, bread, crackers, and pretzels are all great options.

Edamame

Anyone who has eaten this soybean snack knows that it can be just as addicting as potato chips. Luckily, though, it is much healthier. Edamame has tons of fiber and plant-based protein, making it a great option for vegetarians to munch on. Often, this snack is sprinkled with salt, so it can help to satiate your need for sodium.

Healthy eating sounds intimidating, but it doesn’t need to be difficult. There are tons of snack foods out there that are both healthy and delicious. Chances are, you just need to find the one that is right for you.
