Inside: Losing weight as a mom is hard! Find out these simple, healthy mom snacks to drop pounds without dropping snacks!

There’s nothing better than sinking your teeth into a gooey chocolate chip cookie or getting a brain freeze from a caramel sundae.

I am in love with snacks—can you tell??

But it’s also impossible to lose those extra “mom pounds” while indulging in every snack you can get your hands on!

That’s why my solution is not to AVOID snacks. (That’s right, you read that correctly!)

The key to dropping pounds without dropping snacks is to eat the RIGHT snacks. It’s all about finding the right snacks to satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising your weight loss goals.

When I finally decided to stop making excuses and push myself to lose weight, I was devastated because I thought eating “healthy” was going to be miserable.

But then I found some awesome healthy mom snacks that are delicious! After I started eating these snacks, I fell in love with them and my cravings for the super sweet, 2,000 calorie snacks were dead and gone.

I eat these snacks almost every day and have lost almost 10 pounds within 3 weeks!

Not only are these snacks healthy and delicious, but they’re also cheap—thank God! Because let’s face it, us moms are on a budget 🙂

Excited at the thought of losing weight while eating snacks?? Me too!

15 Easy & Healthy Mom Snacks

 

Rice cake with peanut butter

Rice cakes are delicious! If you have a sweet tooth, they can be a little bland, but if you add some peanut butter or almond butter—they are delicious!

You can try the flavored rice cakes too—they have caramel, white cheddar, apple cinnamon, and so many more flavors!

 

Pepperoni slices & cheese

This is one of my favorite snacks! If you are on a low carb lifestyle this is a perfect snack. You can get creative with the different cheeses you eat too!

 

Frozen sugar-free cool whip

Grab a container of sugar-free or regular cool whip and freeze it. Now you have a low calorie, low carb dessert!

This snack was suggested by one of my dear friends! She loves ranch dressing and it is her “cheat” snack.

 

Watermelon & berries with feta cheese

A fruit salad with a twist!

Watermelon and feta cheese are my new “must-have” snacks. This combo sounded gross but then I had it and it was so yummy!

Dried fruit

Need a healthy mom snack for on the go? There are awesome options like dried mangos, dried strawberries, dried cranberries, dried blueberries and so many more.

Trader Joes is my go-to store for all dried fruit because they are affordable and all natural.

 

Air-popped popcorn

Popcorn is another really great healthy mom snack! Minus the excess butter J

The best, low-calorie popcorn is air-popped popcorn. You can buy kernels and pop them in an air popper or you can buy the oven ready kernels.

Fast, easy and affordable.

Olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese

Are a fan of the Greek salad? This is a little twist on the Greek salad and it becomes a mid-day snack.

Throw some of your favorite olives in a bowl, add some cherry tomatoes and feta cheese and you have a yummy, healthy snack (or even a side dish)!

Luna Bar

Luna Bars are my absolute favorite on the go healthy mom snack. You can get each bar for about a dollar or even less when you catch them on sale.

They have the best flavors and are low carb. Plus Luna Bars are one of the lowest calorie “energy bars”.

My personal favorite is chocolate peppermint.

 

Guacamole and Sweet potato chips

Love chips and salsa? Me too!

Tortilla chips can be quite oily and fattening. But I love salsa and guac…

So, I bought some sweet potato chips and made some homemade guacamole and it was DELISH.

I didn’t think sweet potatoes and avocados mixed, but I was wrong!

Give this snack a try.

Mozzarella, tomatoes, & avocado salad

I love mozzarella cheese! I purchase mini mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes, and then throw in some avocado and basil and it’s the perfect little healthy snack.

 

Broccoli salad

Sounds weird but it’s SO good! I put some broccoli and cheddar cheese in a bowl and drizzle some olive oil and red wine vinegar and it becomes a great healthy mom snack!

Not a fan of olive oil & vinegar? Add your favorite dressing!

 

Dark chocolate, hazelnuts & raspberries

Chocolate? Yes!

Hazelnuts? Yes!

Raspberries? Yes!

This snack is a gold star all around 🙂
