25+ Healthy Snack Combinations to Curb Your Hunger

25+ Healthy Snack Combinations to Curb Your Hunger

Healthy eating can be difficult when you’re not organized. It can also be difficult if you don’t eat healthy snacks. Keeping your stomach fueled with clean, nutrient-rich foods will not only help keep you on track with a healthy eating plan, it will also keep you in a good mood and provide the energy you need to get through the day.

I have to admit, I have been indulging in too many sweets lately… saying yes to everything (chocolate, desserts, white bread, baked goods, etc). My body has had enough and is literally screaming to get back into a healthy food plan! So, the best way for me to do this is to commit to eating well.

Sticking with clean, nutrient-rich foods will keep you on track with a healthy eating plan, plus put you in a good mood and provide energy to get you through the day. #cleaneating #healthysnacks Click To Tweet

How do I commit to eating healthy? For me, it’s all about planning. Shopping smart and making sure I have the right foods prepped and ready to go in the fridge. I personally need to eat little and often, so having the right snack options is extremely important to be successful in my healthy eating plan.

*Note! If you are starting a healthy eating plan after overindulging in too much sugar for a while, expect the first few days and up to a week to be a little bit more challenging while your body gets rid of the sugar.

25+ Healthy Snack Combinations to Curb Your Hunger

TIP: If I feel a sugar craving coming on I opt-in for a tea instead (no sugar of course). If I’m just starting my healthy eating plan I tend to drink a little more black tea in the beginning (as a crutch, since I love it so much), but once I am on track I swap the black tea out with strongly flavoured herbal teas or green tea. Figure out what your healthy alternative ‘crutch’ is.

Here are my go-to healthy snack combinations that help curb hunger, to get you to your next meal… (without thinking about chocolate)!

25+ Healthy Snack Combinations to Curb Your Hunger

  1. Cottage cheese and fruit
  2. Healthy Smoothie. Try these recipes: Spiced Pear Smoothie and Raspberry Spinach Smoothie
  3. Greek Yogurt & berries
  4. Homemade applesauce topped with Greek yoghurt. Sprinkle slivered almonds and cinnamon on top
  5. Sliced apple & cheddar cheese
  6. Wasa Fibre Crispbread with laughing cow cheese spread on top
  7. Celery sticks spread with almond butter or laughing cow cheese
  8. Sliced apple with 1 tbsp almond butter on the side. Sprinkle cinnamon on apple for a kick!
  9. Veggies & hummus
  10. Bean salad – make ahead and keep in the fridge in small containers so they are easy to grab and go.
  11. Roasted chickpeas
  12. Edamame with a little sea salt. Go with organic if you can as regular soybeans are GMO.
  13. Healthy Muffin – Try these recipes: Cranberry Yogurt Muffins and Spiced Chunky Apple Muffins
  14. Boiled Egg and clementine or orange
  15. Piece of fruit & 12-14 almonds (1/2 grapefruit, pear, apple, orange, etc)
  16. Banana and green tea
  17. Whole wheat rice cakes (or Wasa Fibre crisps) spread with hummus + add cucumber and black pepper on top.
  18. Chopped cucumber, red pepper and feta cheese – drizzle olive oil, balsamic and crack black pepper on top.
  19. Whole grain toast with sliced avocados & tomatoes + salt and pepper.
  20. Dill pickles and a couple slices of cheese
  21. Babybel cheese and a piece of fruit
  22. Cubed watermelon and feta cheese
  23. 2-3 pieces of sliced turkey with sliced carrots and hummus
  24. 1/2 cup ricotta cheese and sliced strawberries
  25. Can of tuna with black pepper and sea salt + chopped cucumber. Drizzle lemon juice and olive oil.
  26. Coconut water and a handful of nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios)

    Thanks for the ideas! I think I need to do better at mixing a couple things for a snack. I tend to just pick one thing and it’s not enough to keep me full. I appreciate all the combo ideas.

    Oh yeah! I love laughing cow cheese! That’s one of my favorite combos. Have you tried the crispy dried okra? I discovered it at Kroger yesterday and am hooked. It’s perfect for when I want something salty and crispy. I’m going to print out your list! Thanks for these wonderful ideas and combos!

    This is a great list of snacks! I’ve always found tea to be great if I want something a little sweet. Tea or a low-sugar hot chocolate always satisfy that craving. Also love reaching for fruit when I want something sweet.

      I love them too. I find the easiest way is to dry roast them in a pan on the stove top. Add your spiced and just keep an eye on them moving them around every once in a while.

    Great combinations and great suggestions! I love snacking but not with the right foods and yes, planning has to be top priority to prepare these snacks ahead because I’m always busy and on the go. I also love tea – green tea that is. If I feel hungry mostly in the afternoon, I’d drink lemon water, but now I’m glad to have this list – healthy, nutritious and handy. Thanks for sharing, Yolanda!
