I really try not to just snack for the sake of snacking. Β If I feel a dip in energy mid-morning, a loss of concentration late-afternoon, or feel my stomach rumbling between meals then I go grab something tasty and nutritious. Β It’s important for me to make sure my snacks TASTE good and make me feel good too!
While my snacks are fairly simple, I thought I’d share some of my absolute FAVORITES with you. Since I have been following this low FODMAP diet for a while now the whole snacking idea is definitely less daunting, but at the beginning if hunger struck and I didn’t plan ahead for a snack I was often left with a grumbling tummy because I wasn’t quite sure what FODMAP friendly snack foods I could grab!
Now, I’m sharing my favorite healthy and delicious low FODMAP snack ideas with all of you (weather you are low FODMAP or not!) so that you are prepared for the next time the snack monster calls when you least expect it π
**Remember that with the low FODMAP diet and other tummy issues everything is very individualized and what may taste great and make someone else feel great may cause you discomfort! Β These are snacks that work well for me.
Have you tried these crackers? Β While I try to stick to whole, real foods as much as possible, sometimes I just want a salty, crunchy cracker! Β These crackers are a delicious and great option. Β I love that they are gluten-free and have a very short ingredient list. Β While almonds may cause tummy discomfort to some, I find that if I limit my portion to about 8 crackers (half a serving) I feel fine and my craving is satisfied!
I also love snacking on smoothies because it’s easy to get studying or computer work done while sipping away.
YUMMM! Now, I think I’m going to raid the kitchen for a snack! π

Love these snack ideas, and I see several of my own favorites in here too! Blue Diamond Nut Thins are hands down my favorite crackers.
YES! So crunchy, salty and tasty for those times when I crave a cracker crunch:)
I’ve never tried those Blue Diamond nut things but they look very versatile! My new favorite snack is greek yogurt topped with granola and blueberries, but honestly you can never go wrong with a smoothie! π
OMG YUM! Brian is loving the greek yogurt granola combo too right now π
These are perfect. I have been known to go back and forth with crunchy crackers like those, dipping one in PB and the next in a jar of jam! Old school PBJ π
YES! Love dipping in pb and jam…that combo NEVER gets old to me π
I always have a ton of fresh fruits and vegetables on hand to grab at any time! I have been loving any type of berry (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries) or cutting up an apple and dipping it in PB2 (powdered peanut butter)! I absolutely LOVE any sort of nut butter so PB2 has been a great alternative to a lower calorie snack! π
YES fresh fruit and veggies are a must in our house too π
We always have baby carrots no matter what in our refrigerator..they are fast to grab and not too messy to eat anywhere! But I have been in LOVE lately with apples and pears. Usually I admit I stick to fruits or veggies, but the almond thins are my new favorite crackery snacks π
Yeah for carrots!! I love carrots as a snack π
