Ideas for healthier snacks for teenagers ...please?

Question

I want to get rid of the chips and popcorn, soda and cookies... What are some other snacks that are good that a teenager will like?

Answer 1

Veggie sticks with dip.

Answer 2

I enjoy steamed carrots- hot or cold. I like them with a bit less crunch. Ditto to snap peas.

Plain yogurt with chopped up fruit and berries and a touch of maple syrup (sugar-free for an extra health touch).

Tea is a great calorie- free drink.

Part-skim mozzarella cheese sticks- perhaps a bit juvenile, but I still enjoy playing with my food!

Fruit is always good- apples, oranges, bananas, peaches, etc. I really enjoy a couple chunks of frozen mango, too. You can also try fruit in other forms- applesauce, dried apricots, etc.

Try making mini whole-wheat pancakes. Vary them by adding things like apple & cinnamon, banana & nuts or apricots & ginger. Whip up a batch at quarter or half size and freeze them. That way you can just pop one in the toaster and enjoy a snack that's a cross between toast and a cookie!

Natural peanut butter! It's pretty high calorie so you shouldn't have more than 2 tbsp a day, but it's fantastic! It tastes great with apples or bananas, but it's also great right off the spoon!

Answer 3

Apples and peanut butter, fruit, wheat crackers and cheese, gogurts, veggie sticks and ranch dip (already prepared). Diet soda, fat free sugar free jello or pudding and whip cream. Healthy choice cookies taken out of the package and put in the cookie jar.
Hope there's something in there you can use.

Answer 4

fat-free frozen yogurt, pretzels, Cheerios, Hansens soda instead of regular soda, organic, butter-free popcorn, soy chips, rice cakes, and Whole Foods makes these cookies that are like Oreos but are all organic and better for you called 365's.

Answer 5

smoothies made of juice and bananas, yogurt(low fat), ants on a log(peanut butter spread on celery with raisins) Cheese spread on celery, carrot sticks with ranch dressing dip(low fat), apple slices, or other fruit.

Answer 6

go to Whole Foods or any health food store.
They'll help you out with healthy snack food that tastes good.

Answer 7

no sugar or low-sugar protein bars, apples, whole grain cereal, natural peanut butter or low fat peanut butter, peaches, plums, and low fat string cheese are just a few.

Answer 8

i personally like granny smith apples with peanut butter and yogurt

Answer 9

rice crispy treats....read the nutrition facts, there is hardly any fat and they are still yummy
