Healthy Snacks That Are Easy To Make

​Eating right is a big part of healthy living. We are what we eat as they say. While snacking may have an adverse connotation, it is what we eat, not snacking that is to be blamed.  We often resort to junk food for a quick snack. A can of soda, a bag of chips, or maybe even a piece of candy. All do taste good, but should only be eaten in moderation. It may be hard to find a tasty, healthy snack, so why not make them yourself?

​Handful Of Nuts
The important tip here is portion control. Mixed nuts are an ideal snack. They are complete in nutrition, containing a mixture of healthy fat, protein, and fiber. They are filling, easy to handle and pack, and does not need refrigeration. Bring it anywhere with you. At the right amount, it is even suggested to aid in weight control.

Vegetables or Fruits With Dip
A piece of fruit or some vegetables is always a great snack. However, for some, it can be boring and plain. Spice it up by pairing it with dips. Have a tablespoon of peanut butter with some apple slices. Celery sticks are great with some cream cheese. Cucumber sticks taste great some hummus. The fruits and vegetables are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are also generally low in calories. The dips, however, may have more fat in them. So portion control again is vital, especially for the dips.
