16 Healthy Snacks You Can Indulge In

Don't add to your curves this monsoon. Stick to healthy snacks!

Imagine this scenario - it's pouring outside. But you're safe and snug at home with family and friends. What next? If such situations inspire you to fry up a few pakoras and enjoy them with chutney and a cup of steaming chai, stop in your tracks. Ask yourself the question - 'Can I really afford to pack on extra pounds?'

The battle of the bulge is something that most urban dwellers have struggled with at some point in their life. Knowing how easy it is to give in to temptation in such situations, we present a few healthy snacks for you to indulge in this monsoon.


In fact, if you're on a diet or have been advised to eat three small meals and a few snacks, you may find these healthy snack options all the more useful. Don't play spoil-sport with your dietary regimen by reaching out for over-processed or, artificially or highly sweetened packed food products between meals.

Since healthy snacks involve foods that are processed as little as possible - as processing is what strips food of its nutrients - invest in a few reusable containers and zip pouches that your entire family can use as lunch boxes or snack holders when you're out at work or school.

At the end of the day, remember that making your own snacks will save your money - bet you didn't know that when you buy individual servings of fancily packed processed food, the cost of the packaging usually exceeds the cost of the food substance! And don't worry about this being a time-consuming job, as most of these snacks will not take more than 5-15 minutes of preparation time.

The only thing left for you to do is to run through this list of 16 healthy snacks and pick your favourites
