Natural Peanut Butter With Whole-Grain Crackers<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-166287\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/12110836\/no-added-sugar-snacks-600-peanut-butter.jpeg\" alt=\"Plate of Crackers with Peanut Butter | No Added Sugar Snacks\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnytime you\u2019re going to snack, choosing something with a bit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/what-are-carbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">carbs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/what-is-protein\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">protein<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/are-you-eating-enough-healthy-fats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fat<\/a> in it is the best option for maintaining a healthy balance,\u201d explains Andrea N. Giancoli, MPH, RD. \u201cThe combination of those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/count-macros-for-weight-loss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">macronutrients<\/a> does a good job of keeping you satisfied, especially when you include protein.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Natural <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/peanut-butter-nutrition-facts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">peanut butter<\/a>, the kind that is just crushed nuts without added sugar, is a substantial snack that provides protein and healthy fats and pairs perfectly with crackers, celery, or fruit.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Nuts<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-166286\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/12110830\/no-added-sugar-snacks-600-nuts.jpeg\" alt=\"Isolated Image of a Bowl of Nuts | No Added Sugar Snacks\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Raw or dry roasted nuts are full of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/are-you-eating-enough-healthy-fats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">healthy fats<\/a> and important nutrients like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/foods-high-in-iron\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iron<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/foods-high-in-magnesium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">magnesium<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/dietary-fiber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fiber<\/a>. \u201cJust make sure you\u2019re not buying varieties that are honey-roasted, chocolate-covered, or have any sugary coating,\u201d Giancoli says. Yogurt-covered nuts, for example, are loaded with added sugar.<\/p>\n<p>On their own, peanuts are a mix of protein and fat with almost no carbs and have a subtle sweetness to them, especially the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalpeanutboard.org\/peanut-info\/peanut-types.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Valencia variety<\/a> often used in natural peanut butter.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Cheese and Fruit<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-166284\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/12110818\/no-added-sugar-snacks-600-cheese-and-fruit.jpeg\" alt=\"Assortment of Fruit and Cheese | No Added Sugar Snacks\" width=\"603\" height=\"404\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A juicy piece of fruit is naturally sweet without added sugar. While you can go overboard (sugar is still sugar, after all), the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/is-the-sugar-in-fruit-bad-for-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sugar in fruit<\/a> is absorbed more slowly in your body than added sugars because of the accompanying fiber in fruit, which helps balance blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n<p>Pairing fruit with something savory like cheese provides a healthy spin on \u201csweet-and-salty\u201d flavor without added sugar. Plus, noshing on protein, carbohydrates, and fiber will give you energy to power through a workout or stay focused until your next meal.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Turkey and Lettuce Roll-Ups<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-166294\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/12112354\/no-added-sugar-snacks-600-turkey-lettuce.jpg\" alt=\"Image of Sliced Turkey and Lettuce Wrap | No Added Sugar Snacks\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Crunchiness is one of those attractive qualities in a snack. A sliced roasted turkey and lettuce roll-up delivers on that satisfying crispiness.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s essential to read labels in the deli section because lunch meats can be a surprising source of added sugar. Many grocery stores offer in-house roasted natural turkey, which is always going to be your best bet.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Popcorn<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-166289\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/12110849\/no-added-sugar-snacks-600-popcorn.jpeg\" alt=\"Bowl of PopCorn | No Added Sugar Snacks\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Air-popped popcorn is surprisingly light and has a slightly sweet flavor to it naturally. There are tons of products catering to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-healthy-snacking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">smart snacking<\/a>, such as individual-size microwaveable popcorn bags or pre-popped, pre-portioned 100-calorie bags.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPop your own or look for 95 percent fat-free popcorn,\u201d recommends Giancoli. \u201cAvoid kettle corn or caramel-covered popcorn, which are going to have added sugar.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>6. Hummus and Carrots<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-166293\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/12112345\/no-added-sugar-snacks-600-hummus-carrots.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead Image of Carrots and Hummus | No Added Sugar Snacks\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Carrots taste sweet because they have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/natural-sugar-vs-added-sugar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">naturally occurring sugar<\/a>, making them a veggie alternative to fresh fruit.<\/p>\n<p>They also provide optimal snacking qualities, such as crunch and bite-size-ness, and when you pair them with a protein-packed dip like hummus, you\u2019ve got snacking magic.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Herbal Tea<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-166285\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/12110824\/no-added-sugar-snacks-600-herbal-tea.jpeg\" alt=\"Cup of Herbal Tea with Mint | No Added Sugar Snacks\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Thirst can masquerade as hunger \u2014 so if you\u2019re feeling snackish, you may just need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/4-telltale-signs-of-dehydration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hydrate<\/a>.
