15 ideas for healthy, low-calorie snacks

Here are some suggestions for healthy, low-calorie snacks. Each one provides roughly 150 to 200 calories.

  • One banana, sliced and spread with 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • One medium apple or pear with 12 almonds
  • 1 cup of grapes or cherry tomatoes with one string cheese
  • 1 cup of raw carrots, broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, or bell peppers with 2 tablespoons of black bean dip or 1/4 cup hummus
  • 1/2 cup edamame (soybean in the pod)
  • 1 cup tomato soup with five whole grain crackers
  • 6 ounces plain Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries and a sprinkle of granola
  • 1/4 cup trail mix containing dried fruit, dark chocolate, and walnuts
  • One small slice whole-grain flatbread with 1 tablespoon almond butter and 1 teaspoon fruit spread
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats cooked in 1 cup milk with cinnamon
  • 3 cups air-popped popcorn with 2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
  • One hard-boiled egg and 12 almonds
  • Fruit smoothie blended with 1 cup milk, half of a small banana, and 1/2 cup berries
  • Five whole wheat crackers and 1 ounce cheddar cheese
  • One half of a small whole-wheat tortilla with two slices of turkey, tomato, and a few slices of avocado

Because calorie counts can vary from product to product, it's always a good idea to check the Nutrition Facts label and adjust your serving size accordingly.

There are actually some snacks that are healthier than potato chips, crackers, keropok (fish-shrimp crackers), Muesli bars, Mars etc

 

Take Jackfruit chips or other fruits that are made through same processing.

 

But take care that you buy those that are not laced with sugar/ honey or artificial sugars.

 

Vietnam is known for many brands of those dried fruits (without sugar added).

Recently, the products from Vietnam got cheaper here in Singapore.

 

If you like it sweet: Dates are an alternative!

 

Note that nutritionists recommend not to eat bananas before bed time due to rise in blood sugar.
