Pumpkin seeds.

Veggies with Guacamole or Hummus.

Air popped popcorn.

Apple with any sort of nut butter

Dates at this time of year

 

Banana "nice" cream:   Freeze overripe peeled bananas, broken in half.  When hungry, put several in your food processor with a bit of unsweetened almond milk, extracts of choice ( I use vanilla and caramel, but butter and almond and vanilla are also good - smells like frosting), a handful of frozen berries (cherries are my favorite), and pulse until it has a soft serve consistency. Top with a handful of mini dark chocolate chips.  Feel virtuous as you eat it.

This! It's SO good. I mix in peanut butter or walnuts or cocoa powder (sometimes cocoa powder and peanut butter!) But it's yummy just plain too. I buy big bunches of bananas so there will always be some brown ones ready to freeze. It is decadent :)

 

I add a bit of light or heavy cream. Put your liquid in a tiny tbs at a time. You'll think you need more but then it's too liquidy. It takes a few minutes for the processor to get it smooth.

roasted chickpeas

carrots and hummus

hard boiled eggs

apples & pb

nuts of any kind

kefir

fruit

dark chocolate

These are almost exactly the same as my favorites. :)

I prefer my apple with no pb though.

 

I'll add to the list air-popped popcorn with real melted butter (not a lot)

 

My all time favorite snack is chips and salsa, but that's not what I would call healthy (not in the quantities I eat it anyway!)
