1. Apricots

If you can't get fresh apricots, which is especially the case in winter, then you should get dried apricots. These are also easier to carry around than fresh ones. They are among the healthiest dried fruits because they naturally contain very little sugar. Additionally, they are good for beauty as they contain vitamin E and carotene, which can have a positive effect on the skin.

Moreover, since they are also rich in magnesium, they also promote good nerve strength and are valuable for the body. The fiber they contain also promotes good digestion, something that can be particularly useful during a diet, as many people struggle with it. They contain few calories and are therefore ideal as a snack.

2. The popular Energy Balls

You don't need to buy these ready-made; they are easily made at home in a short time. This way, you can also determine the consistency better because the store-bought ones are often very hard. Energy Balls usually consist of oats, cocoa powder (real, not the sugary kind), and dates. Many people also add peanut butter, creating a delightful snack for in-between.

You can easily get all the ingredients yourself, which is cheaper, and you can make a lot more of them. Simply mix everything together until you reach the desired consistency and then shape them into balls. Store the finished Energy Balls in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use them for about 1 week. Why buy when you can make them yourself so easily?

3. Rice Cakes with Toppings

For home, you should get some rice cakes. These can be eaten by people who are gluten intolerant because they contain none. They are already a good snack, low in fat and high in good carbohydrates, but if you're not entirely happy with them, you can certainly jazz them up a bit without breaking your entire diet plan.

Simply spread the rice cakes with a good nut butter of your choice or add a little jam, preferably one that contains little to no sugar. It's best to make your own fruit spread for this, so you're guaranteed not to add any extra sugars. If you're not looking to lose weight too drastically, you can also spread a thin layer of peanut butter on them. That's satisfying!

4. Turmeric Latte

In recent years, it has become very fashionable, and rightly so, because the so-called "Golden Milk" really only offers benefits. It consists of milk, turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon. It's also known as "Turmeric Latte" and has been given other nice names. Whatever you call it, it provides valuable services to everyone.

Firstly, it tastes really good and is also very satisfying, but it also offers additional benefits. It is said to inhibit inflammation in the body and strongly stimulate fat burning. With just about 120 calories, it's a perfect snack replacement for in-between and also contributes to your well-being. Much of what comes to us from the Far East can simply be described as healthy.

5. Cottage Cheese

For many years, it has been THE hit among snacks. Cottage cheese offers many advantages that can help with weight loss. It has low fat content but is high in protein and, most importantly, has a high calcium content. Since this is a dairy product, you also get a good dose of vitamin B12. It's truly a good food to be well-supplied.

Especially for those who exercise to lose weight, such foods are particularly beneficial. Because muscles are necessary to displace body fat or completely expel it from the body, exercise is essential. You can spread the cottage cheese on whole grain bread or rice cakes, as you like. If it's too bland for you, you can add some flavor with good vegetables. Cucumbers or tomatoes are a good idea.

6. Apples

Apples have always been a very good snack, and it's great if that continues. You can either take them as they are and take a bite, or you can take a little time to cut them into pieces. They provide valuable potassium and vitamins, which are particularly important when trying to lose weight. Moreover, an apple is an excellent thirst quencher, especially in the warm months.

With a large apple, you can already provide a third of your daily requirement for vitamin C and some B vitamins. Additionally, it contains magnesium and iron, which will be very beneficial for your nerves and muscles. But what's special about the apple is the fiber content, so never peel the apple! Without the peel, you lose these valuable fibers because they are right underneath it. Therefore, wash the apple well and always consume it with the peel.

7. Protein Fluff

In the past, people avoided protein like it was the plague because for many years, it was believed to be super unhealthy. Today, we're a bit wiser, or rather, the knowledge has been updated, and we now know that during a diet, you absolutely need protein to perfectly nourish the body and so you can still exercise. Without energy, training is hardly possible.

You can easily make protein fluff yourself. You need 2-3 egg whites, a pinch of salt, and if you like it sweet, you can add fruits or a little honey after beating the egg whites. Simply beat the egg whites until they are very firm. Your first fluff is ready! If you're concerned about salmonella, you can get pasteurized egg whites from wholesale markets or some discount stores. A single serving of this fluff has about 60 calories; whatever you add to it must then be factored in.

8. herry Tomatoes

Aren't they delicious? These small, delightful red cherry tomatoes are not only a beautiful decoration for platters, but they also make a wonderful snack. Between May and September, they are also affordable, as they are locally grown during that time and are thus available in good quantities. They are simply perfect as a snack for in-between.

They contain several good vitamins and minerals and support the body in various ways. They are good for the immune system and for blood formation. Moreover, they contain very few calories. You can easily consume 100g and only intake about 20 calories. Therefore, cherry tomatoes are also perfect as a topping on whole grain bread or again on rice cakes.

9. Low Carb Crispbread

Many of you don't want to consume carbs anymore, and fortunately, the food industry always responds very quickly to customer demands. Get yourself some low-carb crispbread for a snack in between; it contains no flour. It usually consists of flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds, both of which are great for your digestion.

So, for those who don't like whole grain bread or simply want a change, low-carb crispbread is ideal. You can top it according to your taste preferences. Either spread it with nut butter or with cottage cheese. You can also add quark or whatever you like. Many people also enjoy it plain because it's such a tasty snack. One slice of this crispbread has about 80 calories.

10. Dark Chocolate

Yes, it's an acquired taste, admittedly. Those who were real sweet tooths before will find it a bit challenging to switch to dark chocolate at first. But, from our own experience, we know that once you've switched to dark chocolate, you may find it difficult to consume any other type because it simply seems too sweet! The chocolate should have at least a cocoa content of 70 percent, and you can even go up to 80 percent.

The big advantage of these types is that they contain no milk and much less sugar than "regular" chocolates. Additionally, dark chocolate provides a good feeling, as has been reported multiple times, and that's true. Moreover, the flavonoids it contains are also good for heart health. Simply switch slowly and quickly realize that it's absolutely great without the unnecessary sugar!

11. Kale Chips

Why not turn good old kale into chips? That's a great idea and also provides valuable nutrients! Kale is rich in antioxidants, valuable vitamins, and minerals. The preparation is incredibly simple, if you want to make them yourself, which we always recommend. Homemade is well-made.

For this, take about 200g of kale, remove the stems, and wash the leaves well. Then let them dry a bit and season them. Take about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a little salt, and pepper if you like. Then spread it all out on a baking sheet, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, and put the baking sheet with the kale in the oven for about 30 minutes. Then remove it, let it cool well, and you have wonderful kale chips! By the way, per 100 grams, they only have about 110 calories.

12. Nicecream

Absolutely trendy and super delicious is the "Nicecream" that practically everyone is making these days. You can enjoy it as a cream or as ice cream, as the name suggests. Making it is no big secret, and above all, it's super quick! But the best part is that it only contains natural ingredients and no sugar or any artificial sweeteners.

Most people make Nicecream with just fruits; some also add almond milk or oat milk. The simplest recipe is with bananas: You need 3 bananas and perhaps some other fruits of your choice. Cut them into pieces and put them together in a blender. Then add a splash of almond or oat milk and blend everything well. And there you have a wonderful Nicecream, which you can either eat as it is or let it freeze to get a wonderfully natural ice cream.

13. Almonds

Almonds are also a great snack. Sure, they contain a lot of oils, but these are healthy and can therefore be great for weight loss. They are rich in natural proteins, making them perfect for vegans. Additionally, they provide magnesium and vitamin E. Their antioxidants are also good for the immune system.

Almonds are good when combined with exercise during weight loss; they strengthen muscles and are valuable for bones. However, one shouldn't indulge too much; about 30g, which is a good handful, is enough to satisfy hunger. This portion contains approximately 170 calories. Yes, the simplest things are often the best snacks; that's something we tend to forget. Please ensure to buy good quality almonds, preferably organic ones.

14. Quark with Fruits

This is how our mothers used to diet, and you can still do it today. Low-fat quark is also an excellent source of protein and is very filling. It keeps you full for a long time but isn't too heavy. You can spice up the low-fat quark according to your taste. If you like it fruity, add fresh fruits and turn it into a cream.

If you prefer it savory, add fresh herbs. Fresh chives and parsley are excellent choices. By the way, parsley contains good chlorophyll! Chop the herbs and add them to the quark. If it's too thick, simply add a good splash of lemon juice and then stir until smooth. You can eat it like this or spread it on whole grain bread or even on rice cakes.

15. Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs are also great snacks for in-between! Bodybuilders have known this for a long time, and most prefer eggs over protein powders. Why use artificial things when nature provides everything important you need? Eggs are very filling, and by now, we know that eggs are not nearly as harmful to health as was long thought.

Eggs not only provide valuable proteins but also minerals like iron, potassium, iodine, and calcium. A single egg can be a great snack, sprinkle a bit of salt on it, and you're satisfied for quite a while. So, if you want to lose weight, always take at least one hard-boiled egg to work and consume it when hunger strikes. By the way, an egg only has about 90 calories.

16. Skinny Hot Chocolate

Today, we don't need overly sweetened cocoa powder to enjoy a nice hot chocolate. Either we simply use good cocoa powder, made from pure cocoa, and add a little honey or agave syrup, or we melt dark chocolate into hot milk.

You can also create something similar to "Golden Milk" from the Skinny Hot Chocolate. Just add a bit of turmeric, a pinch of cinnamon, and a pinch of ginger, and you have a delightful drink that tastes great and also contributes to our well-being. As a milk substitute, oat milk or almond milk works well, reducing the calories while still having a delicious drink.

17. Chia Pudding

Chia seeds have become very popular in recent years, and for good reason. They provide plenty of natural and vegan proteins, as well as good fats, which are essential for our bodies. Making a delicious pudding from chia seeds takes a little time, but that's something you know in advance and can plan accordingly.

You'll need a tablespoon of chia seeds, about 150ml of oat milk or a vegan milk of your choice, poured over the chia seeds. Then, refrigerate for about 1-2 hours so that everything can swell nicely. If you like, you can now add fruits or nuts according to your preference. Chia pudding is perfect as a snack in between meals and is very filling. However, please make sure to choose good quality chia seeds, as organic products are usually the best option.

18. Chickpeas

For a long time, chickpeas were almost scorned in our usual cuisine, but in recent years, they have experienced a glorious revival. It's no wonder. They are rich in good proteins, calcium, vitamins A, B, C, and E, they provide valuable amino acids and minerals such as zinc and magnesium. A multi-talent in terms of nutrient density, so you should include them more often in your meal plan, or you can also use them as a snack in between meals.

You can easily turn chickpeas into a snack by rinsing them well with water, draining them on a kitchen towel or preferably a cotton towel. Then, drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chickpeas and add a little salt; if you like, you can also sprinkle some pepper on top. Spread everything on a baking sheet, preheat the oven to about 200 degrees Celsius, and roast the chickpeas for about 30 minutes. You can also buy them ready-made, but why not make them yourself? It's quick and makes for a great snack on the go! 100g of chickpeas have only about 135 calories without additional ingredients.

19. Edamame

Edamame comes from Japanese and roughly translates to "beans on a branch." Especially in recent times, edamame has become very popular. Soybeans are already known to be healthy; they provide many fibers and proteins and are becoming increasingly sought after. Fewer and fewer people want greasy chips and other snacks, opting instead for the "good" alternatives, and edamame fits into that category.

The preparation is very simple. Boil water in a pot and add a tablespoon of sea salt. Then, add about 500g of edamame to the boiling water and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. When you pour them out of the pot, there should be a nice crust formed. Edamame is eaten without the pod; you remove the soybeans and eat them. It's a delicious snack traditionally served with dishes like rice and chicken, for example. 100g of edamame contain approximately 120 calories.

20. The good old buttermilk

Does anyone remember the advertisement for a well-known buttermilk brand? In it, the elderly lady looked at the buttermilk and said, "If it makes you pretty?" Exactly. It has been assumed that buttermilk can make a valuable contribution to beauty. We're not exactly sure how true that is, but we can confirm that buttermilk is really great for snacking, as long as you still consume dairy products.

Buttermilk provides valuable calcium, potassium, and proteins, with just about 40 calories per 100ml! At the same time, the lactic acid bacteria contained in buttermilk provide good support for the gut. So, for those who have avoided it because they thought buttermilk would make them gain weight, now you know better. And for those who simply enjoy the sour taste from time to time, feel free to have a glass! Its thicker consistency also keeps you satisfied for a good while.
