Equip Yourself With Healthy Snacks
As a blogger, I know how hard it is to take actual breaks to go get a snack. Trust me, if I wouldn’t have an actual schedule, I’d probably skip all of my meals just to work on my blog. However, I know that in the long run, skipping meals is not the smart or healthy thing to do. So, making sure I eat all of my meals (snacks included) is a priority to me. As it should be to you too! Now, I don’t know about you, but when I’m feeling lazy, I tend to eat unhealthy snacks. Why? Because they always seem like the “easier” option. However, that’s a huge misconception. Healthy snacks are also easy to make given the right recipe!
Easy Snack Ideas For You
Therefore, whether you work from home or not, it’s important that you equip yourself with healthy snacks to keep you going during the day. So, without further a do, below I’m sharing 10 healthy sweet and savory snack ideas for all busy bees! Need more recipes or easy ideas?

Hi Gabby these look yummy and healthy thank you for sharing these ideas.
Thank you, Aphila! I hope you’ll try some of them out!
🤤🤤 yum! Omg, I’m notorious for reaching for the ‘bad’ snacks because (in my head) they seem easier/quicker. I def think it’s all in the mindset you have though. I need to get better at reaching for healthier things and get the thought, “it’ll take longer to prepare something healthier” out of my head!
Lately, I’ve been obsessed with cherry tomatoes! They’re great to just pop in your mouth and for me, are quite filling. The tangy turkey roll ups caught my eye and would def be something I’d like to try! Thanks for sharing these quick recipes doll!

Yeah, totally! OMG, cherry tomatoes are my weakness lol! I love having them with avocado toast and eggs! Glad you liked these recipes 🙂
Every single one of your suggestions looks delicious and healthy. Much better than grabbing chips any day. Thanks for the many ideas.
Glad you think so, Brooke! I agree – there are so many alternatives to eating chips or unhealthy foods that seem to be the “quicker” option!
Apple cookies are a genius idea!! Don’t know why I never thought of that before!!
Great post, excited to try some of these 😃

Right? Apples are already so tasty. I love this twist to apples! Let me know how you like these recipes! x
So yummy! These snacks look so yummy. I am interested to try them. I’m going to bookmark this post. Thank you for sharing.
OMG I literally kept scrolling, thinking ‘I’m going to make this first … no this!’ LOL but I think the turkey roll ups and the peanut butter protein balls will be the first on my list to try. Plus, I was happy to see some favorites on here too – I love taco salad and avocado toast!! Both are such tasty, but lightweight food options.
Right? Those are sooooo good. Glad you enjoyed this list!
