Healthy snack?

Question

me and my friends are trying to be healthy and we are having a sleepover together. Normally we would eat loads of junk but does anyone know of any healthy snacks that taste great? (We are all vegetarians too)

Answer 1

It's great that you are trying to eat healthy. There are so many great snacks that aren't too bad for you.

Breyers recently came out with 100 calorie ice cream cups that would be great for a sleepover.

100 calorie bags of popcorn are another great snack.

Freezing bananas make a nice cold tasty snack.

Fruit salad is another option.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 3

Granola! make your own:

Granola

10 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup wheat germ
1/2 lb coconut, shredded
2 cups sunflower seeds, raw
1/4 cup sesame seeds
3 cups nuts, chopped (combination of almonds, pecans, walnuts)
Syrup
1 1/2 cups raw sugar (or brown sugar)
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups canola oil
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup blackstrap molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 teaspoons vanilla extract

Combine first 6 ingredients in a very large bowl.
Heat syrup ingredients in a large kettle until sugar dissolves-DO NOT boil.
Pour syrup over dry ingredients and stir well to coat.
Spread mixture into 5 9x13 pans or cookie sheets with sides.
Bake at 300 degrees F for 20-30 minutes, stirring several times.
Can bake up to 15 minutes more for crunchier texture.
Cool.
Can add raisins or other dried fruit at this point.
Great for cereal, on yogurt, or baked in a granola bar recipe.

Answer 4

My daughter is vegetarian and has sleepovers every weekend. We make hummus with raw carrots, celery, and radishes. Salsa is great for dipping raw veggies in to. How about some fruit kebabs with yogurt dipping sauce, or a nice fruit salad. Fondue is a fun meal too. Lays has come out with a natural potato chip that has much less ingredients and fat than their regular brand. Fritos corn chips are relatively health and go great with dips and salsa. Have fun at your sleepover!!

Answer 5

All good ideas listed here.
Nachos are always popular.
Put a single layer of baked tortilla chips on a cookie tray, top with 1 can refried beans (read the label, some are made with lard) just put dollops of beans on chips or do your best to spread it evenly, top with sliced olives, sliced green onions, and grated cheese (there are some good varieties of vegan cheese if you go that route, but it doesn't melt as well), pop in 350 oven for about 10 minutes (until cheese melts), serve with salsa and/or guacamole.

If you and your friends like spicey, put some sliced jalapeno peppers on top of cheese too.

Have fun at your party!

Answer 6

90 calorie snack packs

Answer 7

Have fruit smoothies!
Here is a recipe that I use all the time.

1 container vanilla yogurt
1 banana
1 cup of frozen mixed berries/strawberries
1 cup of any favorite juice

Answer 8

Fruits and veggies are best....serve with a dip like ranch...preferably fat-free dip. You could have a chocolate fondue...with chunks of angel food cake (fat-free), bananas and other fruits for dipping into warm, melted, semi-sweet chocolate. Yummmmmmmm!
Also, while they are salty...popcorn and pretzels are fat-free too!

Answer 9

Me when i want a healthy snack i either have celery and peanut butter or strawberries with sugar or choclate syrup or carrots with ranch.=}

Answer 10

Popcorn is an excellent snack along with walnuts and dried berries.
