There are endless snacks wherever we go, and the choices are unlimited; however, we can’t lose count of the calories we consume daily. In a universe where massive numbers of calories usually accompany scrumptious pleasures, there comes a time when one must look for alternatives, and let us tell you this. The number of options is endless. Whether you are craving something sweet to accompany your afternoon cup of coffee or prefer a light evening snack instead of a heavy meal, look at these guilt-free snack options, as there are plenty of healthy things in the world of eating in between.
Frozen Yogurt Berries Pops
Nothing beats a refreshing serving of yogurt. And where the weather gets extremely hot, how about Frozen Yogurt Pops? This is the perfect merge of fresh and tangy yogurt and sweet and bursting berries. All you have to do is dip any berries you can get your hands on into a blob of fine yogurt (we like the Greek stuff), place it in the freezer, and then you have the ultimate afternoon refresher.
Crunchy Carrot Sticks
If you want to keep the calories down, vegetables are a great helper. Hummus is a wonderful source of protein, and if eaten modestly, it can be a great part of your snack. Crispy orange carrots are a perfect match with the Mediterranean delight, and all you have to do is slice your carrots into sticks and place them in an irresistible way next to a bowl of the luxurious dip.
Popcorn & Spice
Forget everything you know about popcorn. There are ways to enjoy our favorite snacks without the guilt trip they take us on. Put the butter and caramel coating aside, and instead sprinkle a generous helping of your favorite seasoning blend. It can be spicy chili flakes, perhaps garlic powder, or even a touch of cheese, as long as you keep it low. Popcorn can be heartwarming, in addition to being low in calories.
Almond Energy Bites
Sometimes, all you need is something sweet to boost your energy levels, and only the real stuff will do. We have found the ultimate life savior when looking for something to indulge in; however, we still keep our calorie intake low. Almond and date energy bites are the perfect solution. Blend almonds, dates, a touch of vanilla, and cinnamon, roll into bite-size balls, and put in the fridge. These bites are delicious, the ultimate energy boost, and are under 100 calories.
