If you’re used to grabbing a bag of chips to eat as a snack, you could be causing yourself to gain a lot of weight. Fortunately you can eat healthier if you just swap out those snacks for those that are better for you. While there are a lot of different snacks you can enjoy, below you will find 10 of the most tasty that are under 100 calories!
1. Whipped Peanut Butter and Celery
Whipped peanut butter is only 70 calories per tablespoon and it tastes great with celery. Enjoy this as a snack and you will feel full, especially if you drink a glass of water with it.
2. Whole Grain English Muffin
One half of a whole grain English muffin is around 80 calories and tastes great when sprinkled with a little bit of garlic salt. You can also eat this with a tablespoon of marinara sauce and tablespoon of mozzarella cheese.
3. Popcorn
Freshly popped popcorn without any salt or butter is a great snack that will help make you feel full. It’s only around 30 calories per cup, so you can have 3 cups without feeling any guilt. Sprinkle on some garlic powder if you want extra flavor, but other spices are great options as well.
4. Apple
One medium apple is roughly 90 calories and is full of vitamins and nutrients. It will also make you feel full for hours after you it eat, and the natural sugars will reduce cravings for junk food.
5. Peach
One medium peach is only 40 calories, so you can eat two of these for only 80! Better yet, sprinkle on a little bit of cinnamon and place these on top of the grill. The heat will caramelize the natural sugars and make the flavor of the peach totally transform.
6. Carrots
Carrots taste great raw and are only 35 calories per 1/2 cup. Eat these with a couple tablespoons of hummus for a healthy snack, or put them in the oven to caramelize them. Either of these are great ways to eat carrots!
7. Tomato with Balsamic
1 medium tomato is full of vitamins and nutrients that are essential for great health. It’s also only 25 calories, so you can eat a lot of them without worries about gaining weight. Sprinkle this with balsamic vinegar for added flavor and you will feel great!
8. String Cheese
Most string cheese products are only 80 calories each, but check nutrition information just to make sure. You can enjoy this with a low calorie whole grain rice cake if you want something more to help you feel full.
9. Sorbet
Natural sorbet is awesome if you’re feeling the need to eat sweets, but make sure to measure it out. A 1/4 serving is generally 55 calories, but this will depend on the flavor and other ingredients.
10. Greek Yogurt
There are 80 or 100 calorie Greek yogurt products out there that come in a wide variety of flavors. Eat this and you will feel full from the protein for several hours!
