Who doesn’t LOVE to snack!

Rather you’re watching a movie, or just having a few friends over, snacking is the ultimate kit.

On the other hand, snacks in general are a bad decision, especially if you try to stay fit and maintain a healthy weight.

But what if I tell you that I have the best snacks for weight loss right here!

These 10 easy healthy snack ideas are the best snacks for weight loss and the ultimate fitness treats for every one of you craving for a crunchy refreshment between the meals.

They are the smartest choices to help you enjoy snacking and still maintain fit and balanced body.

Believe me, snacking has never been so delicious and clean at the same time, so head on to these easy healthy snack ideas, the best snacks for weight loss you’ll ever get!

1. Mozzarella sticks

You know how the classic mozzarella sticks recipe is not that healthy choice for two reasons:

First they’re usually covered in breadcrumbs, and second they’re fried.

Well, what about rolling them into a grounded seeds mixture instead of the breadcrumbs, and baking them in the oven on a baking sheet?

Well that’s a pretty healthier option.

I rolled them in eggs and then in grounded sunflower and flax seed mixture, spiced with oregano and sea salt.

And they tasted amazing, you have to try them.

Bake them for 15 minutes in a preheated oven, or until they turn golden.

2 Cucumber Circles With Hummus

Cucumber is one of the healthiest snacks you can get, because it’s 90% water.

Peel it nicely, cut in thin bands, and serve it together with your favorite hummus recipe.

I got a Hummus Cookbook a few months ago and it helped me learn so many healthy recipes, how to combine it and simple ways to do it right.

If you’re not into cooking, here’s my favorite hummus I order from Amazon – it’s clean, organic and with with every ingredient on point 🙂

It’s a great combo, you’re going to love it!

3. Seed Crackers

I’ve tried many seed cracker recipes, but my all time favorite is the one with peanuts.

You’re going to need:

200 grams of baked unsalted peanuts
60 grams sunflower seeds
30 grams flax seeds
30 grams sesame seeds
2 egg whites
2-3 teaspoons Himalayan salt
20 ml water

Blend the peanuts and the seeds together, and then mix them with the other ingredients.

Place them on a baking sheet, and bake them 10-15 minutes on a preheated 180 degrees oven.

You can add other spices by choice.

4. Jerky

Beef or turkey, jerky is a great snack.

It’s a good source of protein and it takes a bit of mouth-power to eat, so you’ll find yourself more satisfied.

As long as you double check for the hidden sugars, you’re all set.

Here’s my favorite Jerky beef.

5. Spicy roasted chickpeas

Roasted chickpeas are such a great idea to satisfy your snacking cravings in any part of the day.

They’re salty, crunchy, spicy, and yet, healthy.

The only ingredients you’re going to need are:

chickpeas (canned or home boiled)
olive oil
spices

So, preheat the oven to 230°C.

Toss the chickpeas and olive oil together in a large bowl until the chickpeas are lightly coated and then stir in the spices, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper and minced garlic, and mix the nicely.

Spread them onto a baking sheet, and pop in the oven for about 20 minutes, stirring the pan halfway through.

You’ll know they’re done when they shrink up a little bit, and get crunchy on the outside.

6. Roasted chestnuts

I love chestnuts!

Boiled or roasted – they’re the perfect snack to satisfy the cravings.

Preheat your oven to 180°C and place the chestnuts in a single layer on a baking tray.

The important thing here is you have to cut your slit into the chestnut before putting them on the pan.

Bake them for 15-25 minutes, it all depends on how large they are.

You don’t even have to sprinkle salt over them, because they are really delicious on their own.

Make sure to not eat more than a cup of them – they’re not that low in carbs, but they’re filled with fibers and pretty healthy.

7. Pistachios

Pistachios are tiny, but they pack a powerful nutritional punch.

They contain protein, fiber and a wealth of vitamins and minerals.

Adding pistachios to your healthy eating plan is a great idea for weight loss, healthy body and heart.

A hand or two for snacks will set you up, just make sure to look for pistachios that are roasted without salt or with sea or Himalayan salt, to keep these nuts as nutritious as possible.

8. Baby carrots with curry dip

This is a great snack for those who love dips.

The curry dip is my all time favorite, you just have to mix full fat Greek yogurt, mustard and a teaspoon of curry.

You can add any other spices by choice to this base, and it will still taste amazing while dipping with your baby carrots.

9. Green Beans Fries

People say if your food is green, your food is good 🙂

Well, depending on this, my next snack idea is pretty good because is all green, and yet so delicious.

What you should do is place the green beans into a larger bowl, pour olive oil, salt and spices you like and a little bit of Parmesan, and stir everything well.

Add them on a baking sheet and bake them on 200°C until they turn into chips.

You can do this same thing on almost every veggie, and they will taste amazing.

You can also buy green beans chips nowadays – yummm!!

10. Frozen Blueberry yogurt bites

If you have a sweet tooth, and don’t want to ruin your weight loss efforts, this might be a great thing to try.

This is actually one of the best desert snack for weight loss.

You’re going to need:

1 pint container blueberries
1 cup sugar free Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon stevia

Stir together the yogurt and the stevia and gently fold in the blueberries to coat in the yogurt. Scoop them up with a fork, and place them on a baking sheet, making sure not to have them touch.

Freeze them for about an hour, and get ready to snack!
