Here is a great hint which will give you unending ideas for healthy snacks: think about foods you would eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and just eat them in smaller portions or serve them in alternative ways. Snacks are nothing more than mini-meals. Select foods with great health properties and eat little portions of them.

Here's another great hint: think about fattening snacks that you used to enjoy and discover a way to make them healthier. For instance, potato chips and sour cream dip can be transformed into baked pita chips and hummus; chocolate cookies can be transformed into cocoa bran muffins. Get inspired! There are such a lot of savory options for healthy snacks that you never need to feel deprived or confused about what to eat.
