12 Healthy Snacks To Keep Your Diet On Track

If you’re like me, you can’t help but snack every now and then (or always!).

If you’re also like me, you also don’t buy them so that you aren’t tempted to ruin your diet. The good news? Just because you find yourself munching, however, doesn’t mean it has to ruin your diet.

Eating snacks is actually a good thing. When you snack throughout the day, you’re actually curbing your hunger to prevent overeating and overindulging when you actually do sit down to eat your meal. If snacking is done right, there can also be some nutritional benefits. Though, you may not always want to pick up some grapes or nuts when you’re in the mood for a fix.

For those who have a sweet tooth every now and then, and need to step outside of traditional clean eating, here are a few great on-the-go snack options.

01
My:Mo Mochi Cashew Cream Frozen Dessert
Finally, a substitute for ice cream that we can all get behind! The My/Mo Mochi frozen desserts are so good, that you’ll never want to go back to ice cream (or dairy) again. These gluten free, vegan friendly treat made with a scoop of premium cashew cream wrapped in pillowy mochi dough. They are available in 4 flavor varieties, and personal favorites include caramel and chocolate!
02
