36 Healthy Snacks (That Actually Taste Good)

If you’re like an increasing number of Americans, you spend less time eating traditional meals these days and more time eating snacks. Studies show that snacking now represents as much as 50 percent of our eating each day. of our eating each day. This has led to a "snackification" of food culture that's redefining meal times. At the same time, many Americans have become increasingly concerned with healthier foods and more exercise. In turn, the demand for healthy (but satisfying) snacks is skyrocketing.

According to one report, the number of healthy snackers has risen from 29 million to 41 million since 2004. 94% of Americans snack daily and, in another survey, an eye-opening 33% said they are snacking healthier this year than last. Today's snackers are still looking for that on-the-go super convenience, but with more healthy attributes than ever before, such as:

• all-natural, organic, and non-GMO items
• vegetables and legumes
• focus on high levels of protein
• products lower in sodium, sugar, fat, and carbs
• less processed, but still conveniently packaged
• gluten, dairy, and soy free

While healthy snackers are focused on nutritious options, they also want tasty ones. Not too long ago, there were very few healthy snack options that didn't taste like cardboard. Also, like most Americans, life is busier than ever, so snack options must be as convenient (single-serving, low/no prep or cleanup) as they are healthy.
