Ideas for Healthy Snacks

Not only are these snacks healthy, most of them make great "grab and go" snacks for the whole family. Here are some ideas for healthy snacks:

  • Apples with low fat (or non fat) string cheese.

  • Carrot sticks and celery sticks (refrigerate in a container with water and they'll stay crisp).

  • Celery with a peanut butter and raisins.

  • Nonfat plain or vanilla yogurt sprinkled with low fat granola or crunchy cereal.

  • Grapes, try freezing them, like little popsicle bites.

  • Raw unsalted almonds (you'll get used to them raw - they're so good and for some reason you won't eat as many as you would if they were salted).

  • Bananas (yep, the perfect snack).

  • 1/2 whole wheat bagel with almond butter and sliced bananas.

  • Non-fat cottage cheese with blueberries or strawberries.

  • Chilled orange wedges.

  • Rice cake topped with peanut butter and a no-added-sugar, all-fruit spread.

  • Top 1/2 of a whole wheat English muffin with thinly sliced tomatoes. Spray the top of the tomatoes with a little olive oil non-stick cooking spray, sprinkle with low-fat Parmesan cheese, fresh or powdered garlic, and basil. Pop in the toaster oven for a few minutes and voila - you've got a great bruschetta snack.

  • Broccoli stalks! Don't throw away the stalks after you've sliced off the heads. Peel the outer layer from the stalks with a small sharp knife and you'll get to the heart of the stalk. You'll realize what you've been missing at first bite!

  • Be sure your bread products (English muffins, bagels, sliced bread, etc) are made from whole grains, not just "whole wheat".

Baked tortilla chips (cut up flour tortillas and bake on cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes) with salsa (nothing but vegtables!).
