Healthy Snacks for When You Need a Nibble

Everybody likes a bite between meals sometimes. And there’s nothing wrong with it, as long as you make healthy choices and don’t overindulge.

Highly processed foods tend to be high in fat, salt, and empty carbohydrates, so avoid them. Instead, include some fruits and veggies, protein, and a little healthy fat.

Here are 10 that are just as easy as a candy bar.

A hard-boiled egg is packed with protein but low in fat and carbohydrates. It’s easy to make in advance, making it convenient to bite into.
Toast with avocado or peanut butter gives you whole grains, protein, good fat, and not too much of anything bad for you. Just make sure you’re using good bread.
Veggies, pita bread, and hummus – a light and flavorful favorite.
Mix up a protein shake and toss in some berries.
Cheese and (clean) crackers. Again, ensure you get crackers that are not jacked up with salt, sugar, and other ingredients.
Fruit, fruit, fruit.
Plain Greek yogurt. You can mix in berries or nuts.
Nuts and seeds are full of nutrients, protein, fiber, and good fat, and can reduce the risk of heart disease and other problems.
Slices of cucumbers, red peppers, and other vegetables.
Handy cheese snacks are available at your grocery store. Or buy blocks and slices of a piece.

See? You don’t need that candy bar at all.
