Finding yourself hungry
between meals can be challenging, considering the most popular snacking options
are generally drenched with calories. However, there are several delicious
healthy options out there that you will simply love. Rather than arguing the worth
of a slice of cake or forcing yourself away from a bag of crisps, you should
consider trying these decidedly decadent healthy snacks that are also
incredibly easy to prepare.

Oatmeal And Raisin Cookies
If you enjoy making
cookies, you should definitely try switching up your ingredients to bake some
nutritious oatmeal and raisin cookie. What's great about making your own baked
treats is that you have the power to decide what goes into them whereas
store-bought alternatives are often loaded with preservatives and unhealthy
additives; not to mention the staggering calorie count. By replacing butter
with corn oil, you will be able to reduce the saturated fat content
significantly. Oatmeal and raisins are surprisingly healthy as they are packed
with fibre and other nutrients.
Chicken Skin Crisps
Even though you may be
under the impression that chicken skin is terrible for you, quite the opposite
is accurate. Even though you should avoid overdoing it with this snack,
grilling a few pieces of fresh
chicken skin until
golden brown and crispy can replace regular crisps for a healthier alternative.
Chicken skin contains a good source of unsaturated fat, and by adding a bit of
seasoning before grilling, you will have a perfectly nutritionally delicious
snack for when hunger strikes between meals. This snack is also a great
solution to chicken leftovers.
Granola Bars
While you should avoid
indulging in store-bought granola bars as they often do not contain wheat germ,
which most people lack in their diets, making your own is a fantastic idea. Most recipes aren't tricky at all,
and the results are incredibly delicious. Even though preparing a few may take
a while, you could set aside one day to make a substantial amount and store
them for the rest of the week. These tasty snacks can contain a vital source of fibre, vitamin E, and several other necessary nutrients.
Sweet Potato Fries
Sweet potatoes are
incredibly healthy, more so than regular potatoes, which is why sweet potatoes
fries may be the ultimate snack. However, to effectively indulge in this
mouthwatering snack time treat, you should use olive oil rather than regular
oil as the way you cook is ultimately as important as what you cook.
Nutty Dark Chocolate Clusters
Chocolate lovers will be
pleased to know that there is a healthy snack out there that is made mostly
with chocolate. Considering quality dark chocolate is by far the healthiest
choice for a chocolate treat, adding a few of your favourite nuts into the mix
is excellent for flavor and for your health. The nutty content will also ensure
you can feel full until meal time arrives.
Avocado Drizzled With Lime
There's a good reason
almost everyone is so obsessed with avo. Considering avo is not just considered
an incredibly nutritious superfood, but it also seems to partner perfectly with
nearly anything. What's more, it is possibly one of the healthiest and easiest
snacks to prepare. Drizzle a bit of lime on top, and you will likely have found
your new favorite snack.
