Healthy Snacks That I Love (And You Should Try!)

Three years ago, I was nearly 30 pounds obese and struggling with healthy eating a lot. I’m not perfect by any means (in fact, most of my diet is still processed junk foods), but alas, I’ve lost 50 pounds since then and these are some of the snacks that helped me do it!

Instead of buying more Ruffles and Dean’s French Onion Dip (I recommend), I finished the bag I already had (ha) and brought stuff to make rice cakes, salads, etc.

The rice cakes in particular aren’t super nutritional. They’re okay for you and low-calorie (usually 45 cals per cake), but the joy really comes with the fact that they’re so palatable. The rice cake serves as a canvas for any delicious concoction you want! I’ve made pizza rice cakes with tomato sauce and cheese, fruit rice cakes, vegetable rice cakes, just plain cottage cheese rice cakes… there are ideas all over the internet on how to eat them. Just make sure you actually eat something on the rice cake so you get nutritional value. Unless you just like plain rice cakes. That’s cool too. :)

Not all of the food you see here is 100% healthy— see the Nutella on the rice cakes— but paired with other healthy things it can still make a delicious snack!!

Plus, remember that avoiding certain foods to your demise is not good for you! A good diet takes balance. You shouldn’t totally avoid anything unhealthy unless you’re used to that lifestyle and it’ll never bother you going without it.

I hope you like these ideas!! I had fun making these slides!
