Healthy Snacks on the Go

Is it just me or do we always feel hungry? People tend to snack throughout the day, skip real meals and end up hungrier than before. Not only is it hard to stay satisfied, but staying healthy presents its own problems as well. Many boxed and packaged snacks may seem delicious and satisfying at the time, but they contain all kinds of bad fats, especially saturated. What if you could get the same satisfaction with less calories and fat? Of all the low fat snacks I've heard of, tried and absolutely adored, my top ten healthy snacks are as follows.

Dipping strawberries in some healthy zero fat, zero calorie Splenda can really give the fruit a kick and create the ultimate low fat snack. Either wash, cut, and sprinkle the sugar into bowl of choice or only wash and dip the fruit in sugar if you're in a hurry.

Also, you should try various fruit smoothies depending on what fruit you and your family are into. My favorite I've heard been called a Maui and includes strawberries, pineapples, banana, ice, and some more of that zero calorie sweetener. The key to making this best low fat snack and best snack on the go is precutting all the fruit. Though it doesn't take up so much time, it may slow you down is a hurried situation.

On a related note, sliced ripe peaches and strawberries cut into a rather small cup with a dash of cool whip can satisfy hunger more than you would give it credit for. It's a simple, easily prepared low fat snack.

An English muffin spread with a table spoon of protein packed peanut butter can make more a very tasty, healthy snack. It also only contains 95 calories, not even 5% of an averages person's daily values.

What better way to satisfy a sweet tooth than some crunchy, sweet, crumbly graham crackers. Two whole sheets equal exactly 100 calories and remain what you could call a healthy snack.

Grab a hold of a Jell-O fat free pudding container and indulge to your hearts desire. Conveniently it comes in many flavors like tapioca, chocolate, devils food, and chocolate/vanilla swirl. Coming in at just 100 calories keeps it a completely healthy snack.

Fat free frozen yogurt is a great way to go when health conscious. At 3 oz it comes in at just about 100 calories which is another thing that makes it so simply irresistible. Eat this snack with a small spoon so as to make every bite of this low fat snack seem a whole lot bigger.

A good old hard boiled egg always does the trick when I'm hungry. Of course you may cook it which ever way your heart desires. Peeling and lightly salting this snack makes it another one of the best snacks on the go.

A handful of mixed nuts may seem like a small amount to go on but they can be surprisingly filling with so many proteins that keep our stomachs full. Almonds are especially good and make one of the best low fat snack. They are also obviously one of the very best snacks on the go with their grab and go serving.

Three cups of popcorn will keep your taste buds completely satisfied. It provides your stomach with nearly 15% or your daily fiber not to mention this healthy snack is only 93 calories. It remains one of the best snacks on the go.
