My Turquoise Bag

During my health journey, I have found that having a little snack in between meals have helped me cut hunger pangs and prevents me from over-eating.

Healthy snacks also keep me energized and hydrated, and can healthfully scratch the itch of an occasional sweet craving.

Below are seven of my most common daily or weekly snacks.

Fruit

Generally, bananas and apples are my daily go-to’s mainly because they are just so simple to pack and enjoy on the-go. But of course, some fruits will be more abundantly available depending on the season. Nothing radiates Summer more than fresh strawberries, blueberries or watermelon, and nothing says Autumn harvest more than apples or cranberries.

Homemade Popcorn

This is a perfect substitute for potato chips.  It’s crunchy, savoury and nostalgic to being at the movies, so yes, this is an ideal Netflix snack.

Dates

Whenever I crave chocolate, dates have come to my rescue. Medjool dates in particular are my favourite because they have a smooth caramel-like consistency.

Hummus and Carrots

My most common hummus companion are carrot sticks but it can equally go well with cauliflower, broccoli, cucumber or anything else.

Boiled Egg

Hard boiling eggs is part of my weekly meal-prepping. Eggs are high in protein and make an easy pre-workout snack. I personally love a creamy yolk, so I’m actually on team medium-boiled.

Apple Slices with Almond Butter

This is pretty much a daily snack for me, and I sometimes substitute apples with celery sticks. I like the natural almond butter from Bulk Barn that you can grind yourself.

Finn Crisp and Hummus

Remember when I mentioned in my weight loss post that I used to eat bread and cheese/butter as a pre-dinner snack? Well, Finn Crisp and hummus have surprisingly satisfied my bread and butter craving.

I hope these suggestions inspire you to prep some healthy daily snacks to keep you energized, cut hunger pangs and enjoy a healthy substitution.
