The post It’s Possible to Make Popcorn a Healthy Snack appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>Skip the microwave popcorn and make your own instead. Most microwave popcorn is loaded with unhealthy additives like artificial flavors and preservatives. Instead, pop your own popcorn on the stove or with an air popper. This way, you can control the ingredients and make sure that your popcorn is free of any unwanted chemicals.
Next, skip the butter and opt for healthier toppings instead. Try sprinkling your popcorn with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without the added fat, or season it with spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika for a savory twist. You can even try drizzling your popcorn with a small amount of olive oil for a little extra flavor and healthy fats.
Finally, pay attention to portion sizes. While popcorn can be a healthy snack, it’s important not to go overboard. Stick to a small serving size, and enjoy your popcorn in moderation.

]]>Fresh fruit and vegetables are some of our favorite healthy things to snack on, but it’s less than ideal to have to figure out what to do with apple cores and banana peels when you’re finished eating—not to mention they can start to smell after a while. Save yourself the trouble by cutting up your favorite produce in advance and packing it in some Tupperware. Sprinkle apples with a little lemon juice to keep them from going brown.
A healthier alternative to potato chips, roasted chickpeas are high in fiber and protein, so they’re a great option for staying full and satisfied between pit stops. We love the brand Biena for both sweet and savory varieties.
High in fiber and low in calories (so long as it’s not doused in butter), popcorn is one of our favorite healthy snack options to take with us on the road. You can definitely make your own, but we love the brand Lesser Evil for an organic option available in fun flavors.

]]>Wash celery sticks and strip out the longer, tougher fibers if you wish. Cut them into thirds, and then scrap cream cheese, peanut butter, or hummus down the center of the celery. These are ultra-quick, tasty, and refreshing due to the water content of the celery.
Cut a passion fruit in half and using a spoon, scrap the flesh and seeds away from the skin. Drizzle a spoon of honey and a spoon of tahini over the flesh, mix gently and then spoon out and eat. When mixed gently, this snack is not too messy and packaging free, so it can be made on-the- go!
Take a slice of ham, spread thinly with cream cheese and sprinkle over with chopped gherkin. Roll up into a cylinder, and if you’re not eating it immediately, pin in place with a cocktail stick. High in protein and very tasty, this satisfying snack will keep you going through an afternoon of back-to-back meetings.

]]>Hummus is one of the best snacks to grab from the grocery store because it’s vegan, full of protein, and overall delicious. This is a great snack that can really tide you over for several hours, and it’s even better if you buy some baby carrots or some celery sticks to go along with it! If not, pita chips always work out great.
When you’re in a time crunch, why not go for a crunchy snack? Nuts can be a little pricy but if you go for unsalted peanuts, you can get a very healthy snack that is much more affordable. People are afraid of nuts because of their fat content, but the fat is so good for you and there are so many great vitamins and minerals that will keep you going they are always worth it.
Check the labels of course, but if you see chips, crackers, or anything of the sort that have whole grains or seeds in them, they’re probably a good bet. Still, read the label to see how much sodium is in them and if there is added sugar, but whole grains is a great snack on the go.
