Healthy snacks you can prepare in less than 5 minutes. They are hearty, delicious and inexpensive.

Recently, I decided I wanted to begin a healthier lifestyle and lose a few pounds. To learn how, I naturally turned to the Internet. Like many, I thought eating healthier foods meant I would be hungry more often. No way were carrots more filling than a slice of cake. In the course of my research, I learned I was wrong. There are plenty of alternative healthy snacks that won’t leave you reaching for more five minutes later. Here’s a list of my favorite snacks that are both yummy and filling.

  1. Page Contents

    • Baked Apples
    • Strawberries and Goat Cheese
    • Parmesan Popcorn

    • No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars
    • Cottage Cheese and Cantaloupe
    • Raspberry Yogurt Parfait
    • Carrots and Hummus
    • Apples and Cheese

    Avocado Rice Cake

    I’ll admit, I was not sure about this one when I first read it. However, this avocado rice cake recipe from Rabbit Food for My Bunny Teeth (@eatrabbitfood) looked too delicious to pass up. If you’re not a fan of avocado or aren’t sure about it, try it on a piece of whole-wheat toast first. You can pick up organic rice cakes here.

  2. Baked Apples

    A healthy, surprising treat you and your family will love.

    Wait, my favorite fall snack is healthy? I would not have thought a baked apple would be considered health food, but to my surprise, it’s actually lower in calories and sugar than I had previously assumed, especially if you follow this baked apple recipe from SkinnyTaste (@Skinnytaste).

  3. Strawberries and Goat Cheese

    Strawberries and goat cheese is a tasty and hearty mid-morning snack.
    Image source: blog.shoppri.com

    The delicious tartness of strawberries combined with the mild tang of goat cheese is the perfect mid-morning snack. Greatist (@greatist) says this snack has only 100 calories in it. Unbelievable! That means I can snack away guilt-free.

  4. Parmesan Popcorn

    Parmesan Popcorn - a great snack as you watch your favorite movie or TV show.
    Image source: fivehearthome.com

    I love popcorn and was pleased to find it’s good for you! As long as you watch the butter and salt, of course. That doesn’t mean you have to have tasteless kernels, though. Try this parmesan popcorn idea from Cooking Light (@Cooking_Light) for a filling snack packed with flavor.

  5. Greek Yogurt

    Yogurt is a well-known healthy food you should keep in your fridge.

    We’ve all been told yogurt is a delicious, nutritious food. Recent years have seen a rise in popularity of Greek yogurt, which is actually better for you than regular yogurt. Any variety makes for a great snack, but check out these yogurt recipes from Girls Gone Strong (@GirlsGoneSTRONG) for added enjoyment.

  6. No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars

    Snack bars while on the go? Peanut Butter Bars is the answer.

    Snack bars are a convenient way to solve your hunger problems on the go. No-bake peanut butter bars, like these ones from Sally’s Baking Addiction (@SallysBakeBlog), are a yummy homemade alternative for the store-bought ones which may not be so healthy.

  7. Cottage Cheese and Cantaloupe

    It is packed with vitamins and minerals to keep you full longer.

    Loaded with protein and essential vitamins, this is not a snack I would have thought of myself. It turns out it’s absolutely delicious! Daily Burn (@dailyburn) has a simple version of this snack here.

  8. Raspberry Yogurt Parfait

    Raspberry Yogurt Parfait is a healthy breakfast or snack you must try.
    Image source: zomppa.com

    Parfaits make an excellent breakfast, but they’re also a wonderfully healthy snack. Check out this raspberry vanilla yogurt parfait recipe from Fitness Health 101 (@fithealth101). You won’t regret it!

  9. Carrots and Hummus

    A yummy treat you must try this winter.

    Talk about yummy and filling! Carrots and hummus are a popular snack, and it’s definitely for a good reason. Take Melanie Cooks’ (@melaniecooks) word for it!

  10. Apples and Cheese

    Apples will keep you healthy while cheese will make you stronger.

    An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an apple with cheese will keep him away even longer. Try this take on the classic snack from Food.com (@fooddotcom).

  11. Watermelon Salad

    A refreshing treat that watermelon salad will only bring.

    I have never been a fan of watermelon. After trying this watermelon salad idea from Snack Girl (@Snack_Girl_), though, I’m a convert.

  12. Sweet Potato Wedges

    A healthy snack that you, family and friends can share over dinner.

    Sweet potatoes are a staple of holiday tables. Outside of a turkey dinner, though, they’re not a very popular treat. Perhaps more people need to try this cinnamon and paprika sweet potato wedges recipe from Deliciously Ella (@DeliciouslyElla). They’re a filling snack that’s sure to be a hit.

  13. Oatmeal

    The well-loved breakfast that you can flavored up for your taste.

    A popular and well-loved breakfast food, oatmeal also makes a long-lasting snack. As The Chic Life (@thechiclife) shares, you can easily improve the flavor of plain oatmeal in a variety of healthy ways.

  14. Nuts

    A healthy snack that you can enjoy to munch on while you get to bond with friends.
    Image source: smallfootprintfamily.com

    Rich in unsaturated fat and protein, which can help suppress appetite, nuts make for an excellent snack any time. To keep your nutty snack varied and flavorful, try one of these spiced nut recipes from the EatingWell magazine (@EatingWell).

  15. Eggs

    You can cook eggs whichever you want and still get the benefits you need.
    Image source: huffingtonpost.com

    Yes, eggs can be a snack food. Hard-boiled eggs, deviled eggs, egg frittatas — however you like your eggs, they will definitely curb your midnight snacking urges. Try some of these ideas from The Kitchn (@thekitchn) for egg-cellent snacking.

  16. Dark Chocolate

    Some say dark chocolate can make you fat but it is a healthy food you must try.
    Image source: rodalesorganiclife.com

    Chocolate has some proven health benefits, did you know? Sadly, those Milky Way bars are probably not going to do you much good. It’s dark chocolate that seems to be the best for healthy snacking. Thanks to these delicious chocolate recipes from Chocolate Covered Katie (@ChocCoveredKt), you won’t feel too deprived.

Healthy eating doesn’t need to mean suffering with a rumbling tummy. Your food doesn’t have to be bland, either. I hope these delicious, filling snacks help you on your fitness journey. What healthy snacks do you enjoy? Did we include your favorite? If not, tell us about it in the comments and don’t forget to share this list with your friends and family.
