Glit Fit - Healthy Snacks

97 comments
I have been on a never-ending quest to find yummy, healthy snack options since being on my health kick. I must admit, my idea of a good snack used to be potato chips, ice cream, or Mac N Cheese. Now that I have basically cut all 3 of those things out my life, I've had to move on to other options. Here is a small list of a few I have been loving:


  • Apples and Peanut Butter - just don't overdo the peanut butter because it packs a lot of calories.
  • Carrots and Hummus
  • Pretzels and Hummus
  • String Cheese (Low Fat) with an Apple or Banana
  • Shrimp Cocktail - LOVEEEE THIS! If you are unfortunate (like me) and live far away from the sea I have found a decent shrimp cocktail at my Kroger.
  • Grapes and a protein - like Deli Turkey
  • Cottage Cheese and Peaches (I snubbed my nose at this one for awhile but it turns out... I love it now haha! My secret is I get the Fat Free kind - it takes away that strong cottage cheesy smell that I couldn't handle.)
  • Yogurt with Granola (Greek Yogurt with a bit of honey.... mmmm)
  • Organic Fruit Roll up (fruit leather)
  • Cherry Tomatoes
Everyone always says "a handful of nuts" but I don't really like nuts so that's not a good option for me. I try to eat 2-3 snacks a day, one between breakfast and lunch, one between lunch and dinner, and sometimes one after dinner if I eat early.

So my question for you is - what are your healthy snack options? I have been on this kick for about 10 months now and I am starting to get tired of the above options. I am going to the store soon so I want to pick up a few new things.
