A-lot of times people get hungry between meals and want to grab a snack. There is nothing wrong with snacking as long as one is eating something healthy. Our cravings are what drive us to pick out the wrong foods, but there are just as many healthy snacks as there is unhealthy snacks. Three 3 great healthy snacks are: pretzels, celery and peanut butter and vegetables chips. In the subsequent paragraph, each one will be discussed, respectively.
Sometimes, we crave things that are salty. Many of the snacks that are high in salt are also high in fat and calories. Generally speaking, those type of snacks should be avoided as much as possible. Pretzels are a healthy replacement snack. They are low in fat and calories and will satisfy any salt craving that one is having. All of us have suffered from the case of the sweet tooth. When one has a sweet tooth, there is temptation to run to the store and buy a pack of cookies or cupcakes. Those things are not only high in sugar, but high in fat and calories. Instead, one should try celery and dip it in peanut butter. The celery is high in the fiber that the body needs and the peanut butter can satisfy those sugar cravings that we all get from time to time.
Many of us like to eat potato chips and they are not the healthiest choice for a snack. If one absolutely has to have chips, he or she should try vegetable chips. They are made from real vegetables and are filled with the nutrients that the body needs. There are many different brands of vegetable chips and they all average around 130 calories per bag, which is must less than the average bag of potato chips.
When one gets the urge to snack, he or she should try one of the above delicious and nutritious foods.
