Our Top 10 Favorite Healthy Snacks

Hey guys! Today we have a special post because it's a collaboration post from the two of us. We will be sharing our favorite healthy snack ideas. Snacking can get the best of all of us, but we will be sharing 10 healthy snacks to keep you full without feeling bad:

1. Celery and 2 Tbsp of Peanut Butter

Celery is great to snack on because you burn more calories eating it than it has. As long as you're using a natural peanut butter you are all good. A good rule of thumb when picking a peanut butter is it should have 2 ingredients: peanuts and salt.

2. Apple and 2 Tbsp of Peanut Butter

Same rules apply for this one on the peanut butter! Apples are chalk full of antioxidants and fiber too.

3. Handful of Grapes and a Cheese Stick 

Cheese provides a source of protein while the grapes will satisfy any sweet midday cravings you're having.

4. Veggies and Hummus 

My favorite veggies to eat with hummus is carrots and cucumbers. Hummus will keep you full because it is full of protein. On top of that it comes in a variety of different flavors. The brand Sabra also sells perfect little to-go portioned cups for us busy ladies!

5. Organic Tortilla Chips with Salsa

I personally love the organic multigrain tortilla chips from the brand Food Should Taste Good. I love a good salsa. Have leftover tomatoes from the summer? Check out the homemade salsa recipe from Squishy Bananas here!

6. Yogurt dipped blueberries

This is a refreshing sweet treat that is good for you too and a total kid pleaser. 

7. Trail mix

Quick on the go snack. I love it with some dark chocolate chunks because I'm a sweet and salty kinda girl. Super easy to customize to different personalities though!

8. Cucumber bites

Easy. Healthy. Family pleaser. 

9. Almonds dipped in Dark chocolate 

A definite moms secret snack that she inhales before her kid says, "what's that?"  

10. Bruschetta

One everyone will love. You can get creative or stick to the basics and won't be able to go wrong. Black pepper, garlic and olive oil mixed with those tomatoes to top though mmmm mmm mmm. What? I'm Italian this is totally a normal snack 😉

Snacking doesn't have to mean throwing away all the healthy eating you've done. Let us know what your go-to healthy snack is!
