I love snacking and it is crucial for me to always have the best snacks on hand. It is especially vital to have good healthy snacks between meals if you are trying to lose weight. The point of snacking is help prevent binging or overeating at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. And even if you are not trying to lose weight, snacking is always fun.
I personally don’t always like relying on manufactured snacks. This can become expensive in the long run. It’s always best to create your own snack. Having many different kinds of snacks available helps to avoid boredom. Here is a list of snacks between 150-200 calories. You can mix them up and come up different combinations. Enjoy!
