My Go-To Healthy Snacks

I'm guilty of snacking WAAAY too much. It's an impulse to me to just be constantly eating something, even if I'm not hungry, and just bored. So, I've been slowly getting rid of all of the unhealthier snacks in my house and replacing them with healthier alternatives that taste just as good, if not, better.

[To be quite honest, I got most of these from the dollar store because that's just how cheap I am].

BANANA CHIPS
These are amazing for snacking on because they hit so many cravings at once. Sweet, very slight salty taste, crunchy, and delicious. These are an amazing alternative for chips!

NUTS & SUNFLOWER SEEDS
During the day, if I'm feeling snacky but I need to get up and get stuff done, I go for a little extra energy boost and I grab every kind of nut I can find, and some sunflower seeds. Not only are these good for you but they can give you that little bit of energy you need to go out and finish your day with a bang.

OATMEAL / GRANOLA / HONEY NUT CHEX
Oatmeal is great for the winter because it's a warm snack, and it feels like a hug with every bite. It is fairly light so if you're looking for a more filling snack I suggest adding some nuts, yogurt or fruits to it.
Granola I will either eat with milk [like cereal] or, again, with fruit and yogurt. Most granolas already have either nuts or some dried fruit in it. Mine has pomegranate and blueberries.
Honey Nut Chex [or any healthier cereals really] are a great snack especially for before bedtime because it's not a heavy snack so it won't disturb your sleep.

PRETZELS
Whenever you're craving something salty I suggest grabbing a handful or two of pretzels.
**NOTE : For a sweet and salty snack make peanut butter and jam pretzel 'sandwiches'. This can be a bit tricky since pretzels have holes in them, but the peanut butter is sticky enough that it creates a hammock for the jam.

ALOE DRINK
This stuff is amazing! I like to drink it when I'm craving something sweet, because I find it tastes freakishly like gummy bears [in a good way]. The drink comes in two flavours, that I know of, original and pomegranate.

Lemme know in the comments what your favourite healthy snacks are and I'll give them a try!
