Healthy Snacks

If you are trying to get out of your junk food habit of munching on chips or cookies, then these five snacks are perfect because they are nutritious and still taste good.

1. Plain Fat-Free Greek Yogurt with Fruit and Honey
I usually have this for breakfast, but it can also replace dessert if you're craving something sweet. The honey is a natural sweetener to the sour yogurt and the fruit (I like to use strawberries) tastes great with it too.

2. Lara Bars
Most of these bars only have fruit and nuts in it without any sugar or high fructose corn syrup. This is a delicious protein bar and it gives you energy if you want to eat it before a workout. My favorite is the lemon, and I also like to freeze them because they are better cold.

3. Nuts
Almonds or sunflower seeds are great as an afternoon snack. Nuts tend to fill you up so you don't feel as hungry throughout the day. Try to eat them raw and without salt because they are more wholesome that way.

4. Popcorn (Organic
If you cook this in a pot (or popcorn-maker) with olive oil and do not put butter on it, then popcorn can definitely be a healthy snack. Even if you add some salt, it is still very low in calories. Of course you can eat it while watching a movie with your family or friends, but it can also be an afternoon snack. Using organic might be a better choice because most organic foods are more beneficial for your health.

5. Turkish (Dried) Apricots
Dried apricots are a great source of vitamin A. They are also very sweet, and I tend to eat them as a late-night snack.





I love eating these snacks and I recommend you to go out and try them because it will help you change towards a healthier lifestyle. :)
