What are some healthy snacks that are also delicious?
I'd like to know what healthy snacks that are still delicious for you!
Mine will probably be almonds, nuts, and healthy variations of trail mix!
@fireflyyv
classic carrots and cucumbers in homemade ranch. the ranch isn't "healthy" per se but t definitely gets me eating more veggies
@Heather225
I do this too! I usually eat healthy snacks with less healthy sauces to make it a little better to eat them. I never tried ranch, so I'll definitely try it one time
@Heather225 I tried veggies with this organic tumeric lemon dressing and it was shockingly delicious!
@communicativePond1728
I never tried turmeric lemon dressing, I'll look into it next time!
@fireflyyv
I personally like various fruits (like pineapples, oranges, bananas & apples).
I like to pair the following:
🍍Pineapples & cottage cheese
🍎Apples & Natural peanut butter
🍌Bananas & Natural Peanut butter.
🥕Carrots & hummus
* Celery & Natural Peanut butter
….I also like Cashews & Pistachio nuts, cheesesticks, & hard-boiled eggs 🥚.
@PoliteOcean
Those are all good and delicious options! I haven't tried natural peanut butter so I'm curious as to what that tastes like. Cottage cheese is good but I can't eat it bcs I'm lactose intolerant lol
@fireflyyv
Natural peanut butter (the one I’ve gotten), doesn’t have any sugars in it. It’s only made of peanuts/peanut oil, & a touch of salt. No other chemicals or ingredients.
There’s one that you can get in the store the brand is called “Smuckers”. And it’s pretty good. I couldn’t tell a difference when I first used it. :)
@PoliteOcean
I see, I'll be on the lookout the next time I go to a grocery store!
@fireflyyv I'm finding multiple brands of lactose-free cottage cheese lately. I think since it's a trendy food lately brands have expanded cottage cheese options.
@AffyAvo
Can you tell me more about these brands? I'd like to eat cheese without the pain lol
@fireflyyv Gay Lea and President's Choice both have them currently. I thought one of the Walmart brands did too - Great Value or Our Finest, but I don't see that currently. I haven't looked at any of the smaller grocery stores.
@AffyAvo
I'll look into those next time. Thanks a lot!
If need something high in protein and complex carbs:
Greek Yogurt, some fruits, and some gornla crumbs. If you need MORE protein, add protein powder into the yogurt and mix it before u add the fruits.
If you need more fats: I recommend avocado, or a cheese stick.
@CalmRainbow5199
Thanks for this! But I do find it hard to eat yogurt and cheese because I'm lactose intolerant lol
Darn. My bad.
@fireflyyv grapes, berries, cherries, pears, plumbs, peaches etc.
@WellsFiction
Same. Grapes are one of my top favorites
@fireflyyv I prefer the green ones, but they're all tasty.
@WellsFiction
I like the purple/usual ones more, but they're both so good
@fireflyyv maybe popcorn? I dunno
@communicativePond1728
It's one of my favorites too, especially cottage cheese popcorn although it's painful to eat due to my lactose intolerance lol
