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

The brownie balls and frozen banana bites are right up there on my love list! (Can you tell I have a sweet tooth!)....there is so much goodness to choose from on that snack list!
Dannii says
I always have a sweet tooth in the summer, but not so much in the winter.
Marisa says
I'm always on the lookout for healthy snack ideas, these look delicious! Especially the healthy rice krispy treat {they look just like skotcharoos, yumm!}
Dannii says
I rice krispy treats were so much fun to make too. It reminded me of being a kid.
laura@wholeheartedlyhealthy says
Great post, will definitely be passing this on to some of my community groups and clients for ideas! My fave healthy snack has to be fruit and nuts, something I always seem to come back to :-)
Dannii says
Thanks for passing them on :)
Elizabeth says
I'm a snacker too. My favourite, at the moment, is a sliced apple with a slice of extra mature cheddar broken into bits on the side. Alternating bits of apple/cheese while I type away. Num!
Dannii says
Yum! Add some pickle in there and it is even better!
Lauren @ ihadabiglunch says
These photos are making me hungry...I love healthy snacks like these that still look really appetizing. Lately I've been all about the veggies/hummus and tortilla chips/salsa but I went through a phase for about a year where my major snack craving was greek yogurt and fruit. I definitely go through phases haha
Dannii says
I am the same. My phase at the moment is definitely red pepper hummus.
Kari @ bite-sized thoughts says
I love this post :) I am a big snacker too - the idea of missing afternoon tea is, to me, akin to missing lunch (or perhaps even worse)! Your list is a nice example of real food at its best, and highlights just how poor supermarket packaged snacks are in comparison.
Dannii says
They really are poor, aren't they. The ingredients list is scary too.
Ciara (@My Fussy Eater) says
You've got some fab ideas here! We make those frozen banana bites and love them. Although we also dunk them in chocolate...not so healthy!!
Dannii says
We do that too. Good for a treat!
Craig says
I am going to try those healthy chocolate bars next week. I hope they help me with my competition prep.
Dannii says
As long as they fit in your macros I am sure they will :)
Alex says
Those almonds look really good. I tried some maple almonds last week that were so good.
Dannii says
oooh, that does sound good.
