Healthy Snack Alternatives

Many people when they are in a hurry will grab anything they see as a quick snack, which is usually a candy bar or some other type of junk food. But there are healthy snack alternatives that are just as easy to grab and tastes just as good as their unhealthy counterparts.

Here are some unhealthy snack foods that people eat and a list of healthy food that it can be substituted for:

Instead of candy try:

• Dark Chocolate. Provided you have just a small amount, dark chocolate has healthy antioxidants.
• Granola Bar. With tasty morsels of fruits inside these treats are salty and sweet in one.
• Strawberries. These small fruits are the perfect alternatives to unhealthy candies.
• Orange Slices. Pick up an orange instead and it’s full of vitamin C
• Blueberries. Blueberries aren’t called a super food for nothing. They’re full of antioxidants and vitamins.

Instead of potato chips try:

• Popcorn. As long as you don’t go for the super buttery version, popcorn can be a delicious and incredibly satisfying alternative to chips.
• Veggies. Baby carrots, sugar snap peas, celery and bell peppers offer up a crisp, crunchy snack that’s full of the stuff your body needs.
• Pita Chips. You can make or buy whole grain pita chips that are healthier than potato chips, but still pretty delicious.
• Salted Cucumber Slices. Cucumbers are an excellent choice for giving you that crunch you crave. Add a little salt (maybe some spice) and you get a great study snack.
• Almonds. Roasted almonds are an excellent source of protein and fiber, making them perfect for snacking.
• Trail Mix. If you don’t want to eat plain nuts, mix them up with dried fruits and make your own healthy trail mix.
• Sunflower Seeds. If you want to mindlessly chew on something while your bored these small seeds are a great choice.
• Peanuts. Grab a handful of peanuts to get a quick energy boost from this protein-loaded nut.

Instead of soda try:

• Water. Water has no calories, and it provides the hydration your body needs to give you better concentration and memory. What drink could be better than that?
• Soy Milk. If you can’t drink milk then soy milk is a great, healthy alternative.
• Tea. Green and black varieties are said to be extremely beneficial to your health.
• Coffee. Coffee, when had in moderation, is a better way to get a caffeine fix than soda.
