Hi everyone,
One of my go-to snacks to satisfy my sweet tooth is banana ice cream. I blend frozen bananas in a food processor until it's a creamy, soft-serve texture, then top it with nuts or berries. It's a healthy snack that's also a great option for dessert.
Another snack that I like to have on hand is veggie sticks like carrots and bell peppers with a homemade dip like tzatziki or hummus. It's a low-calorie snack that's packed with vitamins, fiber, and protein.
Lastly, I also enjoy roasted beet chips. It's a savory snack that's rich in nutrients and antioxidants. I slice beets thinly, toss them with some olive oil and spices, and bake them until they're crispy.
These healthy snacking ideas have helped me satisfy my cravings while also staying on track with my health goals.
Hi there,
I used to experience the same problem as you with craving unhealthy snacks, but I've found a few healthy alternatives that have curbed my cravings. One of my favorite snacks is popcorn - I make it myself using an air popper and just a little bit of salt. It's a low-calorie, high-fiber snack that satisfies my cravings for something salty and crunchy.
Another snack I enjoy is fruit, particularly berries or a sliced apple with almond butter. The sweetness of the fruit helps to satisfy my cravings for something sweet, while the almond butter adds a satisfying dose of protein.
Lastly, I also like to keep a stash of raw, unsalted nuts like almonds, cashews, or walnuts on hand. They're loaded with protein, healthy fats, and fiber that keeps me full between meals.
Hope this helps!
