The usual rule is that you should not snack in between meals if you want to stay in shape – but a part of getting that right is also to lead an ideal life. When you are busy with lots to do, you need the energy to keep at all your tasks – and that comes only from snacking. BUT, it is important to snack healthy – rather than to augment ill health through snacking. With the festive season around the corner, it is fully possible that one may wind up eating unhealthy stuff. So how do you indulge yourself, while staying healthy? Here are a bunch of healthy options for you to opt for, while snacking around!
– For those with a sweet tooth, Dark Chocolate is a smart snack to have. Since dark chocolate is low on sugar and high on cocoa, it is actually healthy for you because it can keep your stress low by lowering your blood pressure and also help improve your mood.

– Nuts, particularly almonds, walnuts, peanuts, cashews and even pistachio seeds are good snacks to indulge in. Roasted pumpkin seeds and channa dal are also comfortable bites to nibble on. Since they are rich in salts, they keep you de-stressed and help you unwind at night no matter how heavy your workload may be.
– Salad sticks are clever and healthy snacks to keep in tow. Sticks of cucumber, zucchini, carrots, radishes and beetroots are light and do not impinge on your health while they fill your stomach just as well.

– Tofu and Paneer sticks are a wise snacking option. Rich in proteins, the snack will help you boost your recovery while sleeping. It also helps you feel full, although it could be a little heavy on the stomach to process.

– Fruit cubes are also a smart and healthy snacking option. Although most people might argue against eating fruits, light options like watermelons and bananas are a good option.

– Ice cream, but in moderation. Ice cream can be a high calorie snack and is least recommended, but a little bit can fill you up just as well. If you would rather not opt for ice cream of the regular kind, you can have frozen bananas and frozen berries on the go.

– Jasmine and Chamomile Tea is an ideal snack especially for people who have insomnia and are not able to eat, but would rather drink something.
