4 snacks i can't stop eating

As always, I'm finding ways to get what I want in a better way. In this case, in a little more healthy of a way. 

I'm a big snacker and would much rather graze on food than go into a food coma after an oversized meal. So, in an effort to snack without eating too unhealthy, I've gravated toward these few snacks. I'd call it a success since now I crave these instead of salty, high-fat chips or sugary candy.

(1) Dark Chocolate Pomegranates


My grandma introduced these to me when she visited a couple weekends ago. The day we got home, I bought two bags from the grocery. So delicious and so worth it. About 1/4 of a cup is 180 calories, which isn't all that bad, right? (I could be wrong, but don't tell me otherwise. It's better than candy! ;)

(2) Sliced Almonds


I've read on multiple occasions that almonds are a power food. I wasn't ever a big nut person, but after putting some almonds on salads for awhile, they've grown on me. I prefer to eat sliced almond, so I buy the big bags at Trader Joe's and snack on those at work. Delightful!

(3) Veggies and Ranch Greek Yogurt


After discovering you can make faux ranch dip with Greek yogurt, I've been hooked. I've started making it quite often and dipping all sorts of veggies into it for snacks. Since I'm a sucker for dips (and most of them aren't healthy), this was the perfect combination to get what I want, but get it in a better way. Bravo!

(4) Avocados


Whether it's mixed as a dip or just eaten plain, avocados seem to always do the trick. Oh, and they're a power food too. Win-win.

What are you favorite snacks?
