When you’re looking to lose weight, it can be difficult to remember to eat right. Sometimes you’re busy and don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen. Other times, you just don’t have time to prepare healthy snacks. The best healthy snacks for weight loss help you stay full until dinner time but are also easy to make. All you need is something sweet and something tangy to satisfy your sweet tooth! Here are some of our favorite healthy snacks that will help you keep your carbs to a minimum, while still providing you with the nutrients you need to lose weight and keep it off!

1. Baked Apple Chips

Baked apple chips are a great healthy snack for weight loss because they’re easy to make and taste great. All you need is an apple or two, some cinnamon, and a little bit of olive oil. First, slice the apples thinly (around 1/8th of an inch), and then place them on a baking sheet in the oven. After baking for about 10-15 minutes at 225 degrees F, take the apples out of the oven and sprinkle with cinnamon. You can also drizzle with olive oil if desired. Be sure to consume these right away because they will get soft after sitting out for too long!

2. Kale Chips

Kale chips are another healthy snack option that is both good for you and tastes great! These chips have become increasingly popular in recent years as people realize their health benefits. You can make your own kale chips or buy them from a store like Whole Foods or Trader Joe

’s. To make your own kale chips, all you need to do is wash and dry the leaves, cut them into chip-sized pieces, and then bake them at 225 degrees F for around five minutes.

3. Cottage Cheese with Fruit

Cottage cheese is one of the healthiest low-calorie snacks that you can enjoy on a diet. It’s high in protein and calcium, and low in fat. Pair it with your favorite fruit to make it even more satisfying! The key is to stick to low-fat cottage cheese. If you want an extra boost of protein in your diet, consider adding a scoop of protein powder to your cottage cheese as well! You can also add some nuts or seeds for added nutrients and taste.

4. Raw Vegetables with Hummus or Guacamole

Raw vegetables are another great snack option because they’re very filling without too many calories or carbs—and they’re

also very low in fat. Raw vegetables can be eaten on their own or with a healthy dip like hummus or guacamole.

5. Hard Boiled Eggs

Eggs are another great source of protein, and they’re also very filling and satisfying. Plus, hard-boiled eggs are a great snack food because you can take them anywhere with you! Just make sure that you use the right kind of egg for your diet since some eggs have fat and cholesterol that aren’t good for weight loss.

6. Fruit Smoothies

Smoothies are an easy way to maintain your diet while enjoying a treat—especially if you use a high-quality protein powder like this one from Muscle Feast! Just mix the powder with water or milk and throw in some fruit or other healthy ingredients like kale or spinach for added nutrients. You can even try adding things like cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, honey,

or stevia for a variety of flavors.

7. Raw Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds are another great snack option because they’re filled with healthy fats, fiber, and protein—all of which help you to stay full longer. Nuts and seeds are also very satisfying because they’re easy to chew and take a bit of time to eat. Just make sure that you don’t go overboard with nuts, since they can be high in calories!

8. Fruit Salad

Fruit salad is a great snack option because it allows you to enjoy all kinds of different fruits in one sitting—and it also has lots of vitamins that your body will appreciate. To make the fruit salad even healthier, add some Greek yogurt or cottage cheese on top! You can even try mixing in nuts or seeds for added crunch.

9. Whole Grain Crackers

Whole-grain crackers are a great snack option because they have fiber, protein, and healthy fats—all of which help to keep you full longer. Whole-grain crackers also provide energy because they’re high in carbs, so they’re the perfect snack to eat before or after a workout!

10. Avocado Toast with Eggs

Avocado toast is a delicious snack that you can enjoy any time of the day. Just add some eggs on top for a little extra protein—or just have it with avocado by itself! If you want to make your avocado toast even healthier, try using whole wheat bread or even sprouted grain bread instead of white bread. You can also try adding things like cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, or chives on top for added nutrients and flavor!

11. Homemade Trail Mix

Trail mix is a great snack because it’s loaded with healthy carbohydrates, fat, and protein. Plus, it’s easy to make and you can customize it to your liking. You can even add some chocolate chips in there for an extra treat!

12. Homemade Granola Bars

Granola bars are a great snack because they provide you with lots of energy and nutrition—and they’re also super easy to make at home. Not only will homemade granola bars save you money, but they’ll also give you the opportunity to control what goes into them so that they’re as healthy as possible!

13. Greek Yogurt Parfait with Fruit and Nuts or Seeds

Greek yogurt is one of the healthiest snacks around and it can also be used in a variety of recipes. It has lots of protein, which will help keep you full longer
