Jun 26, 2018

Trying to lose some weight? Don't starve yourself, just remember to snack on the right things such as these 15 foods! These 15 healthy snacks are filling and low calorie but high in nutrients, thus are the perfect recipes to follow if you want to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle.

Cucumbers are low calorie, so they're a healthy alternative to crackers. Make small sandwiches by putting toppings on these crunchy veggies for a satisfying bite.

These small egg muffins are great for a quick breakfast on the go. Made in a muffin tin, ingredients can include veggies or lean meats cooked in with the eggs. 

Chickpeas are packed with nutrients and protein, so they'll keep you full for longer than sugary junk food. Try roasting them in the oven along with spices for the ideal snack.

Bread is usually pretty high calorie, so who would want such an unhealthy start to the day? Instead use a slice of butternut squash for toast and load it up with toppings like avocado or fruits.

Craving a taco but don't have the calorie budget for it? Try these bell pepper boats stuffed with ground turkey, spices, and topped with shredded cheese.

Cauliflower is low calorie for even large amounts, so it is the holy grail for dieters. Try out one of cauliflower's may uses by making cauliflower popcorn, with roasted cauliflower topped with olive oil.

If the sweetness of an apple just isn't satisfying your sweet tooth, amp it up by making this dessert. Apple cookies are made by spreading peanut butter on horizontal apple slices and topping it with walnuts, almonds, nuts, and other toppings like shredded coconut.

Peanut butter itself is fairly high calorie, so this recipe instead uses peanut flour mixed with greek yogurt for a scrumptious and low calorie fruit dip.

Pudding is yummy but unfortunately usually void of nutrients. The exception to that pudding rule is chia seed pudding, which naturally thickens into a creamy pudding like mixture. Add in some fruit and milk makes for a sweet treat! 

Are you craving sweet or spicy? If you can't decide, give these candied spicy nuts a try. They're made with ginger, delectable spices, and syrup, but are packed with protein.

Got a craving for the saltiness and crispiness of fattening potato chips? Try these crunchy kale chips instead! Using kale instead of potatoes and baked instead of fried, they offer a satisfying crunch. 

These rolls are the perfect simple, cheap, and healthy lunch meal. Just roll together a slice of cheese and a slice of turkey deli meat. So easy, yet so delicious! 

f kale chips just aren't your thing, try this potato chip variation by using zucchini instead! Season the chips with salt and vinegar to make this healthy snack irresistible. 

Sometimes you just don't have time to eat a healthy salad. But instead of just stopping at the drive-through, pre-make these energy balls to save your diet! They're full of nutritious foods and healthy ingredients like peanut butter and oats.

Chocolate dipped strawberries are heaven but have an unfortunately high-calorie count. Stick to your diet by instead dipping the strawberries in Greek yogurt and freezing them.

Losing weight isn't easy especially when all your favorite foods are greasy fast food and sugary sweets. Stock your fridge up with only healthy snacks, fresh veggies, and lean meats to cut out temptation and finally lose those 15 (or more!) pounds. Help out friends in a similar situation and pass on these healthy snacks!
