Whether I'm at school, at work, or traveling, I've never been one to go from breakfast to lunch to dinner without snacking on something in between. It's a good idea to keep your stomach occupied in order to maintain energy levels throughout the day. Snacking is also understandable if you simply love food. However, it's still important to be mindful of what you graze on because many traditional snack foods — chips, cookies, candy, and trail mixes — are filled with excessive amounts of sugar, salt, oils, and artificial ingredients. I love indulging in that junk as much as the next person, but it's not a sustainable dietary option that will help me become an octogenarian. To enjoy the same flavors and textures of my favorite snack foods while treating my body to healthier ingredients, I fill my office filing cabinet and apartment pantry with the following alternatives. There's no need to vilify the habit of snacking when you're enjoying these 10 better-for-you alternatives to chips, cookies, candy, and more:Chips: Food Should Taste GoodFood Should Taste GoodShop Food Should Taste Good chips at Amazon, Walmart, and Thrive MarketLet's not go so far as to think celery and carrots will ever be proper replacements for crunchy, salty chips. Instead, snack on Food Should Taste Good's multigrain, blue corn, sweet potato, and black bean tortilla chips, which are all gluten-free and made with a simple selection of natural ingredients. They're also low in fat, sodium, and carbs, but so packed with flavor you wouldn't be able to tell. In no time, you'll find yourself preferring these over traditional junk food chips. Marshmallows: SmashmallowSnackapade/InstagramShop Smashmallow marshmallows at Amazon, Target, Thrive Market, and BoxedThese indulgent marshmallows come in fun, creative flavors like Mint Chocolate Chip (one of our favorites) and Cinnamon Churro. The indulgence comes with fewer consequences for you because they're made with certified kosher, non-GMO gelatin and organic cane sugar, and they have less than one gram of fat per serving (which includes four marshmallows). Use them any time you would normally — for s'mores and hot cocoa, for example — or as a substitute for heavier treats like ice cream and cookies. Cheese puffs: HippeasHippeas/InstagramShop Hippeas puffs at Amazon, Target, and Thrive MarketFrom its age-old use in hummus and falafel to more recent incorporations into alternative pasta, the chickpea is truly a versatile legume. Yet another way to consume them is in a Hippeas puff — try it in a vegan White Cheddar or spicy Sriracha Sunshine. The light and crunchy snacks are USDA-certified organic and gluten-free, plus they contain three grams of fiber and four grams of protein per one-ounce serving.
