When we imagine of ‘healthy’ and ‘low fat’ in the same consideration , we be inclined to go after that thought with ‘ugh … diet food’. However, there are an profusion of healthy low fat snacks that are completely delicious ways to treat and eat healthy at the same time. Don’t consider me? Hey, let’s see.

Mushrooms, onion, red bell pepper and pineapple chunks on a skewer, gets just minutes to create and stick under the broiler. A healthy and tasty snack indeed. And yes, it taste’s better too!

Spinach dip, from the deli – check that it’s a low fat version – or a homemade dip made with fresh spinach and low fat sour cream can be teamed with an assortment of fresh veggies, such as broccoli florets, carrot sticks, button mushrooms and pearl onions for a gourmet, but healthy, low fat snack that seems more like party food than diet food. Like I talked about , diet food is all about eating healthy and not eating bland!

Here’s one of my very favorite healthy low fat snacks: A plateful of whole grain crackers, like Triscuit (TM) Fire Roasted Tomato and Olive, with a thin slice of low fat smoked cheddar on each cracker. Set these on a cookie sheet and broil just until the cheese melts. Right away sprinkle the crackers with fresh chopped parsley. This ‘snack’ is a dinner for the snack connoisseur!

Other agreeable whole grain cracker snacks include toppings of Krab(R), salad shrimp or fake lobster. Mix the shellfish with a bit of low fat mayonnaise and load up the crackers. Add a sprig of fresh cilantro for a culinary delight of a snack.

Whole grain crackers can also dish up as a plate for small chunks of smoked salmon. Lay some freshly chopped tarragon on each cracker and eat to your heart’s content . The pun is proposed – that salmon is packed with Omega 3s, antioxidants and a tonic for your heart.

Fruit ambrosia makes a delectable , albeit healthy low fat snack. Cut up a few strawberries, a banana, a handful of blueberries and some mandarin oranges into a medium sized bowl. Mix in a container of pina colada flavored yogurt, along with a tablespoon or two of non dairy whipped topping. Heavenly.

How about a whole grain bagel in your preferred flavor – onion and blueberry are delicious – toasted and topped with low fat cream cheese? This makes a better mid-morning or afternoon healthy low fat snack. Filling, too.

Fruit smoothies are healthy low fat snacks that seem approximately sinful, but are really innocent indulgences. Herbal life , a natural wellness company too has numerous refreshing energy drinks which apart from its other diet products are very accepted . Herbal life Products, Herbalife Snack defense is another product which helps you get rid of the hunger pangs which might make you to over eat. This snack is a variation on the ambrosia. Pile your ingredients into the mixer and press the button. Top it off with non-dairy whipped topping and a dash of wheat germ for a thoroughly satisfying , filling and nutrition packed snack.

So you can see that healthy low fat snacks don’t have to experience and taste like diet food. Instead of feeling depressed , you’ll feel like you should be feeling accountable !
