Today I’ve partnered with Quest Nutrition to give away a box of bars to one lucky reader! Details at the end of this post. :)
So in my post about making goals, I included having healthy snacks in your house for a quick bite when you need something good! I thought I’d elaborate on that today and share my top favorite healthy snacks. I like to pick a day (usually Sunday- the start of a new week!) to prep some snacks so they’re ready for me throughout the week when I need to grab something. We’ll buy a big bag of carrots and a bunch of celery, and I’ll cut them up and store them in tupperware in the fridge. It makes it much easier to just grab some carrot sticks and hummus or peanut butter when they’re prepared! And it makes me less likely to want to just grab a bag of chips instead. ;)
- Almonds (or any kind of nut!)
- Fruit (berries, bananas, grapefruit, oranges, kiwi, pineapple, mango, the list goes on)
- Hard boiled eggs
- Celery and peanut butter (a classic combination)
- Hummus (great with veggies like carrots, celery and bell peppers!)
- Quest Nutrition bars (I also love Larabars and Kind bars)
Bars are always a good choice for a healthy snack, too, but you have to be careful and read those ingredients! My general rule of thumb is if I can’t pronounce the ingredients, I don’t want it in my body. This is one reason why I absolutely LOVE Quest Nutrition bars! They are not only super healthy and packed with protein but they’re also delicious! I like to have a bar for dessert when I’ve got a sweet tooth but want something healthy that won’t weigh me down. They have awesome recipes too, for healthy alternatives. And with flavors like chocolate chip cookie dough, chocolate brownie, white chocolate raspberry and cookies ‘n cream, it definitely feels like an indulgence!
I’ve teamed up with Quest Nutrition, and we’re giving away a 16 Flavor Sampler Pack of Quest bars to one lucky reader! I LOVE these bars, and I know you will too! Simply leave a comment with what your favorite healthy snack is. Bonus entry for linking up your own Healthy Habits post today. :) Good luck! Giveaway will end next Thursday, 7/24.

I have lots of favorite healthy snacks…I love almonds and other nuts. I usually keep a container of nuts in my desk at work so I can snack on them instead of heading to the vending machine!
Almond butter with either an apple or banana
I like having hummus for a quick healthy snack. I sometimes eat it with carrots, but my favorite thing to eat it with is sliced cucumber!
Another favorite is homemade guac with sliced cucumber. It tastes so fresh. Delicious!
I love plantain chips and almond butter of fresh fruit! Plus quest bars!!
the cinnamon roll flavor is delicious!! thanks for doing this giveaway :)
I love Quest bars!!!! My mom and I LOVE the white chocolate raspberry flavor. Delish. If I’m not snacking on quest bars, I’ll grab a cup of fresh watermelon….or air popped popcorn :-)
You look amazeballs!!!! & my faaaaave snack it natural pb with organic gala apples!!!:)
My favorite healthy snack is veggies and hummus. However, I usually don’t have time for that and eat raw almonds instead! You are right about quest bars, they taste like dessert! I love it!
My favorite healthy snack is dried fruit, nuts, and coconut.
Fruit! I love to freeze grapes or berries and eat them semi-thawed in the summer.
I love almonds! And fruit straight from our yard!
my favorite healthy snacks are fruits, nuts, avocados on toast, greek yogurt..
I love to snack on Quest Bars, especially the white chocolate raspberry flavor!
I’ve been totally into carrots and red pepper hummus lately!
I love homemade trail mix – sunflower seeds, cashews, raisins, coconut, almonds, dried fruit – the combinations are endless! Healthy, yummy, and super filling!
I love carrots and hummus! Favorite snack! :)
My favorite healthy snack would be a handful of blueberries. I could live off blueberries.
I love snacking on vegetables and hummus! My favorites are carrots, cucumbers and celery :)
Can Canadians win? My favourite healthy snack is greek yogurt.
I’m back on a detox diet(just started it yesterday actually) and I can’t have ANY sugar or breads or anything or FRUIT. It is all protein and nuts and veggies. I did it before, two years ago, and I am back at it because I never got the problem taken care of before and I have decided that it is time to start taking care of my health issues because that is far more important than a yummy snack.
(Why do I keep babbling about myself in these comments?! I sound so self centered. I am so sorry.)
Hard boiled eggs are such a good snack. Especially with a little bit of salt. I could eat them every single day. Good list, lady! :)
