Raw food snacks

Replace the cookies and potato chips The hardest part of my own weight loss journey was not snacking on bread, cookies or potato chips while watching TV or just sitting down reading a good book. In the past I would always have a cup of tea and a plate of sugary snacks in front of me, somehow watching a movie would not be the same without being able to reach for a nice morsel of food.
In came the healthy snacks

Here is a list of my favorites:

  • Carrot and celery sticks with a low fat yogurt and cucumber dip, add a touch or mint and a little garlic

  • Raw nuts with dried fruit, easy on this one as it packs the calories, I like to cut apple segments into it

  • A plate of fruit cut into bite sizes

  • A cup of frozen berries


  • Instead of a snack make a pot of freshly brewed green tea, green tea is full of antioxidants and it may well stop the urge to eat, very often we mistake thirst for hunger.
