50 Healthy Snacks That Will Get You Through The Work Day
Say bye to mid-day hanger.
Emily Hlavac Green
Getting from breakfast to lunch and lunch to dinner without noshing on something is hard. We get it. But eating healthy doesn't have to be that difficult. Plus it's really healthy for your metabolism to have a little midday graze. So the question is— exactly what qualifies as a snack? Well, you probably want to keep it low-cal and also pretty light, because you're trying to get a boost in the middle of the day, not fall asleep. Peanut butter is the kingpin sleeper snack that can't go unmentioned in this roundup—it's just disrespectful. We at Delish are big believers in the blender, so we recommend throwing a spoonful in a fruit smoothie and calling it a day. If you're allergic to peanuts—any nut butter will do! Need some smoothie inspiration? We got you!
Another fun trick to keep your bad habits at bay is to make sure these snacks are super flavorful; we're talking chili chicken lettuce wraps, the best baba ganoush you will ever try and don't forget our epic chocolate bark. You'll be totally inspired flipping through some of these options—not to mention hungry!
These easy snack ideas are super easy to make and will get you through the day without running to the candy jar. Don't have time to make one of these recipes? Try our favorite healthy store-bought snacks. Loving the light life? Keep it up with our favorite healthy dinners, healthy slow-cooker recipes, and healthy breakfasts to start your morning right.

Keto Tortilla Chips
With only two foundational ingredients, these keto-friendly chips are so easy to make! Crispy and salty, they're just what we crave when 3pm snack time rolls around. We seasoned ours with chili and garlic powder but you can keep it simple with salt and pepper, or use any of your favorite seasonings.

Best-Ever Baba Ghanoush
We like our eggplant-based baba ghanoush GARLICKY. If you don't (or are worried about having garlic breath around coworkers), skip grating the raw clove in at the end. Without it, you'll have a more subtle (slightly sweet) garlic flavor that will still make everyone very, very happy.

Collard Wrap Bento Boxes
We're newly obsessed with collard greens—they're not as flimsy as, say, romaine, so you can create a hefty wrap with them. If you'd rather use another green, cabbage could totally work here. You just need something strong enough to hold up to hearty fillings like veggies, hummus, and sauteéd tofu.

Kimbap
To make Korean kimbap, you will need seaweed (kim or gim), freshly cooked rice (bap), and a bamboo sushi mat. Take note that while they look alike, kimbap is not technically sushi: Sushi rice is seasoned with vinegar, and kimbap rice is drizzled with a bit of sesame oil for a fragrant and savory curve.
Get the Kimbap recipe.

Apple Chips
Making your own apple chips is extremely easy—even without a fancy dehydrator. Our best tips for success are to pick the crispest apples you can (think Honeycrisp or Pink Lady, not Red Delicious or Fuji) and slice them as thinly as possible.

Antipasto Bites
These antipasto skewers are the snack of our dreams. Feel free to swap your faves in and out to customize these (pepperoncinis for olives, chicken tortellini for cheese...).

Roasted Chickpeas
Chickpeas are good for so much more than just creamy homemade hummus. (Though that's definitely a good use of them!) They also make for a particularly good salty snack and are infinitely adaptable based on what you've got in your spice cabinet.

Perfect Paleo Granola
Granola is typically made with a mixture of oats, nuts and seeds, a sweetener, and a fat (like oil). This granola skips the oats (no wheat allowed on paleo), instead using 2 whole cups of nuts and 1 1/4 cups of seeds to compensate. For the sweetener, we go with honey, which produces a granola with nice clusters, and coconut oil for the fat.
Get the Perfect Paleo Granola recipe.

Keto Fat Bombs
Hey keto people! These fat bombs are your best friend. Don't let the name scare you—these little balls are the perfect way to curb your hunger. Even if you aren't on the keto diet, you will love these.

Hard-Boiled Eggs
Nothing beats a perfectly boiled egg, but short of sacrificing an egg and cracking it open, it can be difficult to know when that egg is perfectly cooked. Rest assured, we have a few tricks to get you that perfectly soft- or hard-boiled texture you're after.

Crispy Eggplant Chips
The Parmesan gives these chips an added flavor boost, but can also contribute to burning. We recommend you keep a close eye on these chips! Depending on how thin you slice the eggplant, it could take anywhere between 10 and 20 minutes.
Get the Crispy Eggplant Chips recipe.

Sweet Potato Chips
Sure, no one can resist a bowl of potato chips, but they can be a little boring. Switch things up by making these delicious, healthy, and absolutely gorgeous sweet potato chips. The natural, earthy sweetness of the potatoes add an another dimension of flavor that is lacking from a regular potato chip.

Green Bean Chips
Craving something salty? Us, too—always. These easy green bean chips are the perfect way to satisfy your craving without reaching for a bag of greasy potato chips. Feel free to mix it up with your favorite seasoning, but we think homemade taco seasoning is a delicious twist.

Peanut Butter Protein Balls
When you need a little energy boost, these peanut butter bites will give you new life. We wanted these protein balls to taste a little bit like cookie dough (😈), so we added some mini dark chocolate chips. Skip them if you're trying to limit sugar for your kids.
Get the Peanut Butter Protein Balls recipe.

Brussels Sprout Chips
Not only are are Brussels our favorite veggie side, they're now our favorite salty, crunchy snack! We love this garlic-Parm variety dipped in Caesar dressing, but ranch wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Watermelon Fries
If you've ever had watermelon salsa (or any fruit salsa, really), you know that watermelon + spice is a surprisingly delicious combination. We add just a a little kick to complement the sweetness of the watermelon, but if you're a fan of spicy foods, feel free to go crazy with the chili powder.
Get the Watermelon Fries recipe.

Watermelon Fruit Roll-Up
Making fruit leather at home is surprisingly easy. All you need is a blender, a little extra sugar, and a lot of patience—it'll take at least 3 hours (in a very low oven) until it's all dried out and ready to roll. (If you like this recipe, you need to try our rainbow fruit roll-ups, too!)
