Anytime you are trying to lose weight and change your eating plan, you’ll want to have healthy low calorie snacks around the house when you get the munchies. Several different manufacturers have started producing snacks that are packaged in less than 100 calorie bags. While these may be convenient and easy, they are also processed foods that may not be as healthy as the ones you can make at home.
Healthy snacks will be ones that you can grab from the refrigerator or cabinet, low in calories and will help your body to burn fat instead of gain fat. The snacks below you can make on the weekends and have available all week long. When you come home from work, grab one of these while making dinner instead of nibbling on the foods you are cooking.
Fruits that are easy to grab and eat, are high in antioxidants and usually low on the glycemic index are strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. Bananas are filling but are higher in calories than the berries. However, they are also higher in heart healthy magnesium.
Snowpeas are crunchy, sweet, high in fiber and low in calories. You can grab a handful from the fridge without worrying about the calories you’re eating.
Are you searching for something to snack on after dinner? Frozen grapes are sweet and low in calories. Air popped popcorn – without butter – is high in fiber and low in calories. Both will help satisfy that after dinner desire for dessert.
