The Best 28 Healthy Snacks

Nibble guilt-free with these snacks that clock in at 100 calories or less




1- Sliced Tomato with a sprinkle of Feta and Olive Oil

Lunch left something to be desired? This savory dish will make your taste buds happy.








2- Vitamuffin VitaTop






Pop this vitamin-rich fudgy treat before a morning meeting and that Danish won't look so damn good.





3- Starbucks Tall Skinny Latte





Score your caffeine fix along with a hunger-crushing 10-gram shot of protein and about a third of your daily calcium needs.


4- Banana


Naturally prepackaged goodness you can take anywhere, with the added benefit of cramp-preventing potassium.










5- 1/2 c edamame (measured shelled)

Eating this protein-packed pick-me-up out of the shell will help make the snack last longer.




6-  3 c Air-Popped Popcorn



Go ahead, nibble mindlessly as you zone out in front of Bravo. Even if you're watching trash, you 


won't be eating it.









7- Quaker Instant Oatmeal (regular flavor)


This speedy fiber- and protein-packed breakfast also makes for a warm, filling snack.



8- Yoplait Light Yogurt (fruit flavors)

This bone-building goodie provides 20 percent of your RDA for calcium and vitamin D.



9- 8 Shrimp and 4 1Tbsp Cocktail Sauce

The perfect appetizer—and no one at the table will know you're counting calories.



10- 2 Sargento Light String Cheese Snacks
Any food you can play with is a great distraction; plus, the protein battles mid-afternoon hunger pangs.


11- Curves Granola Bar


Stash chocolate-peanut or strawberries-and-cream bars in your glove box to help you resist the lure of the drive-thru when you're on the road.



12- 1 c Baby Carrots with 2 Tbsp Hummus

The crunchy texture keeps choppers busy, and tangy hummus feeds your need for comfort food.


13 - 1 1/4 oz Turkey Jerky

When you must have meat, chew on this low-cal, low-fat power snack.

14 -  1/2 Cantaloupe

Like most fruit, melon contains a lot of water. So you get a lot of food—and beta-carotene—for not a lot of calories.


15 - 1 c Vegetable Juice, such as V8, and 2 oz Oscar Mayer Oven-Roasted Turkey Breast

An antioxidant and protein-rich hunger-buster.

16 -  1 Tbsp Peanuts and 2 Tbsp Dried Cranberries

Toss together this pared-down trail mix and pre-measure into plastic baggies.

17- 1 c Strawberries and 3 Tbsp Cool Whip Free

For a totally guiltless dessert, dish up a bowl of this sweet, fiber-rich combo.

18-  3 Amy's Cheese Pizza Snacks

These hot, crispy, cheesy bites are possibly the most satisfying late-night snack ever.


19-  1 c Raspberries with 2 Tbsp Plain Yogurt and 1 tsp Honey

This sweet mix does the job until you can break away from your desk for a full meal.

20 -2 Egg Whites with 1 Slice Whole Wheat Toast

This protein-and-carb duo gives you a light but energizing start when you have a belly-busting lunch on your calendar.

21 -About 1/2 c Frozen Yogurt

When you crave a cool treat, dip into smooth and yummy fro-yo—it's nowhere near as high-calorie as ice cream.


22- 5 Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Kisses

A cocoa fix that's equally rich in chocolaty taste and disease-fighting antioxidants—what more could you want in a snack?


23- 2/3 c Barbara's Bakery Cinnamon Puffins Cereal (dry)

Keep premeasured tubs in your desk drawer for an alternative to kettle chips when you're craving something crunchy.

24- 1 oz Yellowtail and 1 oz Tuna Sashimi with 1 packet Kikkoman Instant Tofu Miso Soup

Have it pre-party: The protein will keep you from wiping out the buffet.




















25- 18 Fat Free Rold Gold Tiny Twists

Kill a carbs-and-salt craving in a single snack session.




































26-2 oz Veggie Land Veg-T-Balls with 2 Tbsp Muir Glen Chunky Tomato Sauce

These low-fat vegetarian balls hit the spot.
























27- Chocolate Milk (1 c nonfat milk + 1 Tbsp Hershey's Lite Chocolate Syrup)

Quell your inner cocoa monster and get a hit of calcium.























28- 1 Nutter Butter Granola Bar

This peanut bar tastes like something you'd get from the vending machine, minus the thigh-inflating effects.
