FAQ: Healthy Snacks
What makes a snack genuinely healthy?
A healthy snack is one that contributes positively to your overall nutrition, typically one that's relatively balanced in macros, not too high in added sugar or saturated fat, and satisfying enough to keep you going until your next meal. Things like protein content, fibre and the quality of ingredients are all worth considering. The best healthy snacks are those you actually enjoy and that fit naturally into your day.
What are the best high protein snacks?
Some of the best high protein snacks include protein bars (like the Clean Protein Bar or Perfection Bar Deluxe), Smart Protein Chips, Protein Mixed Nuts, Whey Protein Balls, and homemade protein snacks like brownies or cheesecake made with a quality protein powder. For a liquid option, a protein shake is quick, easy and effective.
What are some healthy snacks for weight loss?
When managing calorie intake, it helps to choose snacks that are filling and high in protein or fibre without being calorie-dense. Good options include the Smart Bar, Chocolate Moment, Smart Protein Chips or a protein shake. Nuts can be a great choice too, though portion size matters given their calorie density. For a broader approach, our mindful eating guide is a helpful read.
What are the best healthy savoury snacks?
If you prefer something savoury over sweet, the healthy savoury snacks worth trying include Smart Protein Chips, Protein Mixed Nuts and Pure Almonds. These hit that salty, satisfying craving without the empty calories of traditional crisps or snack foods. A protein shake with a neutral or unflavoured base can also work as a savoury-adjacent snack if you prefer something less sweet.
Are protein bars a healthy snack?
Yes, when chosen well. A good protein bar provides a meaningful amount of protein (typically 15–20g), a controlled calorie count and minimal added sugar. They're particularly useful as a convenient snack on busy days when a proper meal isn't possible. Look for bars where protein content is clearly listed and the ingredients list is relatively short and recognisable.
What are some easy healthy snacks to make at home?
Some of the easiest healthy snacks to make at home include protein brownies, protein donuts, protein pancakes and homemade energy balls. All of these can be made in under 30 minutes and batch-prepared so you have snacks ready throughout the week. Our recipes blog has step-by-step guides for all of them.
Are protein shakes a good snack between meals?
Absolutely. A protein shake is one of the most efficient snacks you can have between meals : high in protein, quick to prepare and easy to take anywhere. It fits naturally into a busy day whether you're at your desk, between training sessions or on the go. Check out the full protein range for options that suit your taste and goals.
Are there good healthy snacks for vegans?
Yes. The Body&Fit range includes vegan-friendly options like the Vegan Protein Bar, Vegan Protein Pancakes, nuts, seeds and plant-based protein shakes. For a broader guide to plant-based nutrition and snacking, read our veganism guide.
