If you are a big snacker, then you might find yourself getting in a bit of a snacking rut sometimes and running out of healthy snack ideas. In this post, I have shared some of my favourite healthy snack ideas.
I have always snacked, but in the past it would have been chocolate and cookies or even a meal that I pretended was just a snack. It can be a bit of a minefield, especially when the diet industry throws so many "healthy" snack pack options in our face that they tell us are healthy (most of them are not).
Snacks can be really healthy and they can actually help you to lose weight.
Saying that, a lot of people still seem stuck when it comes to healthy snack choices and I get asked a lot what snacks are best and what snacks I eat.
I can't give advice as to what is "best" as that depends on the individual, but here are some of the things that I snack on and that I try to keep on hand (You can click most of the ideas to take you to the recipes).
- Salad
- Greek yogurt and almond butter
- Apple slices and almond butter
- Oats with almond milk and cocoa
- Hummus and veggies/pita
- Frozen grapes
- Guacamole and homemade tortilla chips
- Smoothies

I've tried to monitor my snacking lately, though I do still graze a lot of the time!! These all look SO good, especially the chocolate themed treats. ;)
Dannii says
It is definitely easy to over snack sometimes.

Almonds are my all time favorite nut! I really like trail mix varieties for snacking and my latest recipe, Fruit and Yogurt with a Protein Boost.
Dannii says
Good choices!

Are they sesame almonds? They look yummy. I had some chilli almonds the other day that were good.
Dannii says
They are! They are really good too.
Mandy says
That soup looks really good Dannii. Tomato is my favourite.

Mine too - especially with lots of basil.

I love the idea of kale crisps. What a great way to get some extra vegetables.
Dannii says
They are great with garlic on them.
Ellie says
I'm a terrible snicker - I'm terrible for savoury snacks in particular!
Dannii says
I am more sweet over savoury too.

I need one of those banana pops right now. It is so, so hot here :(

Luckily it has cooled down a bit today.

We love your turkey muffins. We make a batch every Sunday and throw in whatever vegetables we have that need using them. My kids like them too.
Dannii says
Yay! I am glad everyone likes them.
Camilla @FabFood4All says
Oh what a great collection of healthy snacks and I have to try your banana ice cream idea! I think my favourite healthy snack is popcorn flavoured with chilli oil:-)
Dannii says
It is perfect for a warm summer evening.
Becca says
Healthy banana bread? You might just be my favourite person today. Trying that tomorrow!
Dannii says
Haha thanks! It's really good. Especially hot from the oven, so might have to wait a couple of months for that.
