150-Calorie Snacks
Snacks are an important part of a well-balanced diet and should contain healthy nutrients like calcium, protein, whole grains, vitamins or minerals. Aim for one to two snacks per day that are around 150 calories each. Skip those expensive, nutrient-light snack packs and try these 10 filling 150 calorie snacks instead.
Pair up Zucchini Snack Pizzas with 3 to 4 whole wheat crackers for a fiber and antioxidant-filled snack.
Hitting that mid-afternoon slump? Rev up with Elle’s Energy Bars packed with power-boosting B-vitamins.
Add some spice to your fruit with these Thai-Style Pineapple Snacks . Eat with some yogurt (a low- or non-fat variety with between 100 and 120 calories) for extra protein and calcium.
Craving something salty? Try 3/4 cup of steamed edamame (baby soybeans). Purchase the unsalted version and add a sprinkle of kosher salt.
Slice a medium apple and dip in 2 teaspoons natural peanut butter.
Slice up your favorite veggies and dip in ¼ cup of Dana’s famous Green Herb Hummus.
Healthy snack bars range from around 90 to 230 calories. If you’re watching your weight, choose a bar with fewer calories. If you’re still hungry, pair it with a piece of fresh fruit.
Cozy up to a bowl of this delicious soup packed with antioxidants.
These fun snacks take minutes to prepare--- take two for a filling snack filled with energy-boosting B-vitamins and fiber-rich veggies.
