Yummy Healthy Snacks

Finding or making healthy, nutritious snacks can be hard - especially when that bag of chips is easily accessible.

I want to share with you some of my favorite healthy snacks that are easy to make - and will make you feel much better than any junk food!

1. Skinned Cucumbers
  • This is one of my favorite snacks - and is very refreshing, especially during summer.
  • First, skin the outside of the cucumber.
  • Then, chop into medium-sized peices.
  • Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
  • Eat!

2. Peanut Butter & Celery
  • Celery is a non-calorie food (you actually burn calories when you eat it!). And, peanut butter is so good for you (in moderation). It contains healthy fat & protein!
  • All you need to do is fill the middle of the celery stick with peanut butter & enjoy.

3. Cottage Cheese & Fruit
  • This snack is low-cal, light and packed with nutrition.
  • The easiest way to prepare this is to put 1/4 of a cup of cottage cheese in a bowl.
  • Then, chop a fruit of your choice (apples, pears, etc.) to put on top or on the side.
  • Yummy!

 4. Hummus
  • Chickpeas (which are the main ingredient in hummus) are a fantastic healthy snack all on their own. They are actually a great source of protein - believe it or not!
  • Anyways - you can eat hummus with pita bread or pretzels (or better yet, celery or carrots)!
