Healthy Snacks

When eating snacks one thing to remember is watching how much you put in your mouth. If you think that because you’re snacking on fruits and vegetables you can eat as much as you want, you really can’t. You have to remember that this is your snack for the day not your meal.

Instead of snacking on junk food like chips, chocolate, and candy, that will make you feel bloated and weigh you down, why not snack on something healthy. If you’re in the need for a snack, make sure you choose to eat something that tastes good, is healthy, but will still satisfy that quick craving. If you are a chocolate junky and love to snack on it a good suggestion would be to try dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is really good for you and still tastes good, but only a piece of dark chocolate, you need to make sure you’re only in taking a little.  

A few good snack ideas would be fruit, vegetables, and peanut butter or just peanuts by themselves if that’s what you prefer.

Any kind of fruit is really good for you. I prefer to snack on grapes, apples, bananas, and any kind of berries. A really good idea is even to have some sliced apples with peanut butter. I love to eat that during the day as a snack! Peanut butter is really good for you because it’s really high in protein. If you don’t like peanut butter and prefer just to eat peanuts than that is also good for you. Almonds are a good suggestion and are one of my favorites.

Again any kind of vegetable is really good for you. The ones I enjoy to snack on are sliced carrots, broccoli, and celery. It is really up to you on which vegetable you like and would prefer to snack on.
