Hello and welcome to our channel, Top
0:02
10s You Should Know. Today, we're diving
0:04
into something that so many of us
0:06
struggle with, snacking. So, in this
0:08
video, we'll explore the top 15 healthy
0:10
snacks for weight loss. Each of them
0:12
tasty, satisfying, and supportive of
0:15
your health journey. Stick with me till
0:17
the end because some of these might
0:18
surprise you and they might just change
0:20
how you snack forever. One, Greek yogurt
0:23
with berries. Greek yogurt is one of the
0:26
best snacks you can have when trying to
0:28
lose weight. And when you pair it with
0:30
fresh berries, you get a powerhouse of
0:32
protein, probiotics, and antioxidants
0:36
allin one. Greek yogurt has nearly
0:38
double the protein compared to regular
0:40
yogurt, which helps keep you full and
0:42
reduces your appetite later in the day.
0:45
Meanwhile, berries like blueberries,
0:47
raspberries, or strawberries are
0:49
naturally sweet but low in sugar, making
0:52
them a perfect way to satisfy that sweet
0:54
tooth without the crash. Together, they
0:57
not only stabilize blood sugar levels,
0:59
but also nourish your gut health, which
1:01
is directly linked to metabolism and
1:03
weight management. Two, apple slices
1:07
with almond butter. This snack is a
1:09
classic for a reason. It's delicious,
1:11
satisfying, and perfectly balanced.
1:13
Apples provide fiber, water, and natural
1:16
sweetness, while almond butter gives you
1:18
healthy fats, and plant-based protein
1:21
that keep you full. The combination of
1:23
crunch from the apple and creaminess
1:26
from the almond butter feels like
1:27
comfort food, but actually supports
1:29
weight loss by preventing energy
1:31
crashes. The natural sugars in apples
1:34
are released slowly thanks to the fats
1:36
and protein in the almond butter,
1:38
meaning you won't feel that sugar rush
1:40
and crash afterward. Plus, apples
1:43
contain pectin, a type of fiber that
1:46
promotes fullness and better digestion.
1:48
Three, humus with veggie sticks.
1:51
Sometimes the best snacks are also the
1:53
simplest. Humus made from chickpeas,
1:56
olive oil, tahini, and lemon is packed
1:58
with protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
2:01
Pairing it with crunchy vegetables like
2:02
carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, or
2:04
celery gives you a nutrient-dense, lowc
2:07
calorie snack that feels satisfying
2:09
without weighing you down. This combo is
2:12
especially powerful because the protein
2:13
in hummus and the fiber in veggies work
2:16
together to regulate appetite and keep
2:18
you full for hours. And let's be honest,
2:21
there's something so satisfying about
2:23
dipping a crisp carrot stick into creamy
2:27
Four, cottage cheese with pineapple.
2:31
Cottage cheese often doesn't get enough
2:33
credit, but it's one of the highest
2:34
protein snacks you can eat while being
2:36
incredibly low in calories. Pair it with
2:39
pineapple chunks, and you get that sweet
2:41
and savory flavor combo that's both
2:43
refreshing and satisfying.
2:46
Cottage cheese is rich in casein
2:47
protein, which digests slowly and keeps
2:50
you fuller for longer. Great for late
2:52
night snacking without overindulging.
2:55
Pineapple, on the other hand, contains
2:57
bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion
2:59
and reduces bloating, making it an
3:02
excellent choice for anyone on a weight
3:04
loss journey. Together, they create a
3:06
light, filling snack that curbs hunger
3:09
while helping your body feel less heavy.
3:12
Five rice cakes with avocado. Rice cakes
3:16
are often dismissed as sea salt, black
3:18
pepper, and maybe a dash of chili
3:20
flakes, and you've got a crunchy, creamy
3:22
snack that keeps you full. Avocados are
3:25
loaded with heart-healthy
3:26
monounsaturated fats and fiber, which
3:28
not only help control appetite, but also
3:31
stabilize blood sugar levels. Unlike
3:34
empty calorie snacks like chips or
3:35
crackers, rice cakes with avocado
3:37
provide a satisfying crunch and a rich
3:39
texture that feels indulgent without
3:41
sabotaging your goals. Six, hard-boiled
3:45
eggs. Hard-boiled eggs are one of the
3:48
most underrated weight loss snacks.
3:50
They're portable, affordable, and packed
3:52
with high quality protein and healthy
3:54
fats that keep hunger at bay.
3:56
Just one egg has around 6 g of protein,
4:00
plus vital nutrients like vitamin B12
4:02
and choline, which support metabolism
4:04
and brain health. Snacking on
4:07
hard-boiled eggs can help reduce
4:09
cravings later in the day, meaning
4:11
you're less likely to reach for
4:12
something processed or sugary. They're
4:15
also super versatile. You can eat them
4:17
plain with a pinch of salt and pepper,
4:19
or slice them over a salad for an energy
4:21
boost. Number seven, nuts and seeds mix.
4:24
A small handful of nuts and seeds might
4:27
be one of the most effective snacks for
4:28
long-term weight control. Almonds,
4:31
walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower
4:33
seeds are rich in healthy fats, protein,
4:36
and fiber. All the things that keep you
4:38
full and prevent overeating. Despite
4:41
being calorie dense, studies show that
4:43
people who snack on nuts regularly
4:45
actually maintain healthier body weights
4:47
because these nutrients improve satiety
4:49
and regulate hormones related to
4:51
appetite. The key is portion control.
4:53
Aim for a small handful, about/4 cup.
4:57
Eight, dark chocolate with almonds.
5:00
Yes, chocolate can be part of a weight
5:01
loss diet if you choose wisely. Dark
5:04
chocolate, at least 70% cocoa, paired
5:06
with almonds creates a snack that feels
5:08
indulgent, but actually works in your
5:10
favor. Dark chocolate contains
5:12
antioxidants called flavonoids, which
5:14
support heart health and reduce
5:16
inflammation. Almonds add crunch,
5:19
protein, and healthy fats that help
5:21
balance blood sugar levels.
5:23
Together, they make a satisfying snack
5:25
that not only curbs your sweet cravings,
5:27
but also keeps you from overindulging in
5:29
less healthy desserts. Nine, edetomame.
5:33
Edetomame, or steamed young soybeans, is
5:36
an excellent plant-based snack that's
5:38
high in protein, fiber, and essential
5:40
nutrients. Just one cup of edetomame has
5:43
around 17 grams of protein, making it
5:46
one of the best snacks to crush hunger
5:48
and build lean muscle while losing
5:49
weight. The fiber content helps regulate
5:52
digestion and keeps you feeling
5:54
satisfied, while the amino acids in soy
5:57
support muscle repair. Lightly sprinkle
6:00
with sea salt or chili powder and you
6:02
have a warm, flavorful snack that's far
6:05
more filling than chips or pretzels.
6:08
10. Air popped popcorn. Popcorn may
6:11
sound like junk food, but when it's
6:12
prepared right, air popped without loads
6:15
of butter and sugar, it's actually one
6:17
of the healthiest low calorie snacks
6:19
around. It's whole grain, high in fiber,
6:22
and surprisingly filling for very few
6:24
calories. A big bowl of plain popcorn
6:27
can give you the crunch and volume your
6:28
brain craves without sabotaging your
6:30
diet. You can spice it up with
6:33
nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor,
6:35
paprika for smokiness, or even a drizzle
6:37
of olive oil for richness. 11. Chia
6:41
pudding. Chia seeds may be tiny, but
6:44
they pack an incredible nutritional
6:45
punch. When soaked in milk or a
6:48
plant-based alternative, they expand and
6:50
create a pudding-like texture that's
6:52
rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and
6:55
protein. This snack keeps you feeling
6:57
full for hours because the gel-like
6:59
texture slows digestion. Chia pudding
7:01
can be flavored with vanilla, cocoa
7:04
powder, or cinnamon, and topped with
7:06
fresh fruit for natural sweetness. It's
7:08
an excellent make ahead snack that you
7:10
can prepare overnight and grab in the
7:12
morning or afternoon. 12. Roasted
7:16
chickpeas. If you love crunchy snacks
7:18
but want to avoid chips, roasted
7:20
chickpeas are a fantastic alternative.
7:23
When baked, they turn crispy and
7:25
flavorful, and you can season them with
7:27
spices like paprika, garlic powder, or
7:29
cumin for extra taste. Chickpeas are
7:32
high in both protein and fiber, meaning
7:34
they fill you up and help reduce overall
7:38
Unlike processed crunchy snacks, roasted
7:40
chickpeas provide steady energy and
7:42
essential nutrients like iron and
7:44
magnesium. They're easy to prepare at
7:47
home and can be stored in a jar for
7:48
quick snacking whenever cravings strike.
7:51
13. Tuna salad on cucumber slices. Tuna
7:55
is a lean source of protein and omega-3
7:57
fatty acids, which support metabolism
8:00
and keep you full. When mixed with a
8:02
little Greek yogurt or avocado instead
8:05
of mayonnaise, it becomes a light but
8:07
filling snack. Placing the tuna salad on
8:10
top of cucumber slices adds crunch and
8:13
freshness without adding unnecessary
8:15
calories. This snack feels like a mini
8:18
meal, but is incredibly low carb and
8:20
waistline friendly. It's perfect if
8:22
you're craving something savory and
8:24
satisfying without going overboard. Not
8:26
only does it support weight loss, but it
8:28
also nourishes your body with healthy
8:30
fats and muscleup supporting protein.
8:33
14. Smoothie with spinach and banana.
8:36
Sometimes drinking your snack is just
8:38
easier, and a smoothie is one of the
8:40
best ways to pack nutrients into a
8:42
quick, tasty option. A simple blend of
8:45
spinach, banana, and unsweetened almond
8:47
milk creates a refreshing, filling drink
8:49
that supports weight loss. Spinach adds
8:52
fiber, iron, and vitamins without
8:54
altering the flavor too much, while
8:56
bananas provide natural sweetness and
8:58
potassium for energy. Adding a scoop of
9:00
protein powder or chia seeds can make it
9:02
even more satisfying. Smoothies help
9:05
curb cravings for sugary drinks or
9:07
desserts and provide a steady source of
9:09
energy throughout the day.
9:11
15. Frozen grapes. Finally, we end with
9:15
something fun and incredibly simple.
9:18
Frozen grapes. They're sweet,
9:20
refreshing, and surprisingly satisfying
9:22
when you're craving candy or ice cream.
9:25
Because they're frozen, they take longer
9:27
to eat, which slows you down and helps
9:29
you enjoy the process of snacking.
9:31
Grapes are naturally hydrating, low in
9:34
calories, and full of antioxidants that
9:37
support overall health. Keeping a bag of
9:39
them in your freezer means you always
9:41
have a guilt-free, weight loss friendly
9:45
They're especially great on hot days
9:47
when you want something cool and sweet
9:49
without grabbing sugary desserts.
