Monday Munchies: Healthy Snack Ideas

It has been a minute since I've had a Monday Munchies but I thought I would do a quick one related to healthy snacking.

In just over 60 days I will turn 30 and although I may or may not get to my "goal" weight I've set for myself, I do want to get back on track of eating healthy foods and exercising regularly. I fell off the bandwagon after we moved out here to Kansas. We've been out here a year so it's far past time. I tend to let our moves get my body out of sync. The last time I fell off the wagon was when we moved prior to this time. Ugh! Moving in the future is inevitable for us so I also need to figure out how to control that.

When you are trying to lose weight one of the best things you can do is eat small portions at least 6 times a day, not just 3 meals a day. So healthy snack options are a must.

Here are a few things I love to snack on and that are pretty healthy too.


Almonds



Cheddar Snacks




Popcorn



String Cheese



Fruit



Veggies





Low Fat Yogurt




Applesauce

Skinny Cow Ice Cream






Low Cal Crackers w/ hummus







These are just some of the ideas I like to snack on but there are all kinds of healthy snacks out there that taste good and even better than chips, cookies, and cakes. I know when I'm standing in a grocery store trying to think of something good to snack on for the next week sometimes my brain turns to mush. It doesn't help that my 4 year old is usually running around trying to throw random stuff in the cart. haha! Hopefully these ideas can give you some healthy snack options for you.

What are some of your fave healthy snacks?

  2. I definitely know the feeling, over the Fall/Winter I got off the bandwagon. I ate a lot of junk and didn't walk as frequently as I used to and I put on a few pounds. But like you said, eating better, frequently, and healthier is the way to go.

    1. It's so hard to get back into a steady routine especially when you have a kiddo. All my extra time is sucked up doing other things. haha... Excuses! ;)

  3. My favorites are celery and peanut butter and popcorn. I also love cheddar cheese ticks. It is hard to get back on track when you fall of the wagon, but so rewarding once you do.

  5. I wholeheartedly agree with all of these snacks! I especially love almonds because they keep you full longer.

    I love to do carrot sticks and hummus for my husbands lunches. Gotta sneak in those veggies!
