If you’re dieting, ladies, then you know that snacking can be a real problem. While everyone else around you simply reaches for a chocolate bar or a bag of crisps, you’re left picking your way through a lettuce salad, and, unsurprisingly, this doesn’t leave you feeling great. In order to avoid those sensations of jealous rage whenever your friends are tucking into delicious treats, I’ve put together a list of healthy snacks that are satisfying and don’t taste terrible. ## 1. Olives ![Olives](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2011/03/olive-food-stock-image_500x332.jpg) A craving for salt is very common among dieters but, unfortunately, almost all foods with added salt are pretty fattening. Instead of breaking your healthy eating rules and grabbing a packet of crisps, pack a few olives into your lunch. They make a tasty mid-[afternoon snack](https://allwomenstalk.com/healthy-afternoon-snack-ideas/) and are naturally salty so they’ll satisfy that craving. ## 2. Sushi ![Sushi](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/vd/zi/tb86zns754c7a04bd9f5f865257426_500x333.jpg) On a diet, you can get away with about 6 pieces of maki with no mayo and taken with light soy sauce. Sushi is a delicious, light and wheat-free lunchtime meal, and made with tuna or salmon, it’s packed full of omega fatty acids and necessary proteins. If you’re keen on [sashimi](https://food.allwomenstalk.com/yummy-examples-of-sashimi-that-will-give-you-a-craving/), you can pile your plate with a whole lot more since without the rice, sushi makes an even more effective slimming snack. ## 3. Popcorn ![Popcorn](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/y0/ov/jqx2wgq454c7a04ccc2ce148077833_500x333.jpg) Contrary to popular belief, popcorn actually has a low glycemic index (or GI), which means it takes a long time for your body to break it down. It won’t give you the same intense energy kick-and-crash effect that you get after you’ve eaten crisps, and it tastes just a good as its potato-ey snack-relatives. Don’t overload your popcorn with salt, however, as this will counteract the health benefits. ## 4. Jacket Sweet Potatoes ![Jacket Sweet Potatoes](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2011/03/twice-baked-stuffed-sweet-potatoes-af_500x330.jpg) As I’ve mentioned, potatoes have a high glycemic index which means they’re easily broken down in the body and deliver energy in an intense burst which won’t last long. Because of this, foods with a low GI leave us unsatisfied after a short time. Sweet potatoes have a low GI, and so they’re great for keeping us going over long periods without crashing and craving. They can be baked like ordinary potatoes and filled with a variety of tasty fillings. Stay away from the marshmallows and sugar options though: they’re not really diet food. ## 5. Dried Fruit ![Dried Fruit](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/k0/w9/urshbp7c54c7a04de1ef0170298559_500x332.jpg) I know this one sounds a little boring, but dried fruit is actually pretty tasty. The drying process causes flavours to intensify and textures to change and, trust me girls, this is not a bad thing. It makes a great mid morning or afternoon snack because it’s high in fructose which gives us energy but it won’t pile on the pounds. I recommend dried mango or apricot: healthy and delicious. ## 6. Smoked Salmon and Rocket on Rye ![Smoked Salmon and Rocket on Rye](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/av/mz/yqo00e8954c7a04f1e2af850312779_500x333.jpg) This delicious lunch time sandwich is low in fat, packet with nutrients, and also out-of-this-world tasty. You can afford to be liberal with the salmon, ladies, it’s super-good for you! Add a squeeze fresh lemon juice and a little zest for flavour. This is one snack you cannot complain about! ## 7. Seasoned Avo ![Seasoned Avo](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/ka/fb/sir1w16754c7a0500d6fb199168693_500x333.jpg) Get yourself a fresh avocado, cut it in half, sprinkle with the seasoning salt of your choice and tuck in. What could be easier girls? It’s all natural, it’s oh-so good for you and it’ll keep your energy levels up between meals. What healthy snacks do you ladies like to nibble on? Got any suggestions to add?
