Snacking can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet, but it’s important to choose snacks that provide nutrients and energy without excess calories.

Healthy Snacks

Rather than reaching for chips or candy, choose snacks that are high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Here are a few examples of healthy snacks:

• Apple slices with almond butter
• Hummus with carrot sticks
• Greek yogurt with berries
• Trail mix with nuts and dried fruit

It’s also important to pay attention to portion sizes when snacking. While it can be tempting to eat an entire bag of trail mix, for example, it’s best to measure out a serving size and put the rest away. This can help prevent overeating and weight gain.

Another way to make snacking healthier is to plan ahead. When you’re hungry and looking for a snack, it’s easy to grab the first thing you see. By planning ahead and having healthy snacks on hand, you’re more likely to make a nutritious choice.

Overall, snacking can be a healthy part of a balanced diet when done right. By choosing nutrient-dense snacks and paying attention to portion sizes, you can fuel your body between meals and avoid unhealthy snacking habits.
