Healthy Foods: Snack Boldly: 4 Guilt-Free Power Bites That Fuel Your Fire (Not Your Regrets)

You deserve more than celery sticks and shame—these snacks crush hunger, crank up energy, and leave guilt in the dust.

1. Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

Why it works: High in protein and fiber, these crunchy little guys satisfy like chips but fuel like beans. Add chili powder or smoked paprika for a kick that keeps your taste buds wide awake.

2. Almond Butter + Banana Slices on Whole Grain Crackers

Why it works: The perfect trifecta—healthy fat, clean carbs, and a touch of sweetness. Keeps your energy steady and your mood smooth without crashing.

3. Mini Guacamole Cups with Veggie Dippers

Why it works: Guac’s not extra here—it’s essential. Packed with heart-healthy fats and fiber, paired with crunchy bell pepper strips or jicama for a fresh twist.

4. Dark Chocolate + Pistachios Trail Mix (1/4 cup max)

Why it works: Just enough chocolate to feel indulgent, but balanced by protein-rich nuts. It’s portable, crave-worthy, and won’t send your blood sugar on a rollercoaster.
