15 Snacks For Your Whole30 Way of Life

By Michele Foley, POPSUGAR

If you're embarking on a Whole30 Diet, it's unlikely you're going to find a snack fix at your local bodega. And a life without snacks is pretty dismal to think about. These Whole30-approved snack recipes are exactly what you need when you're in between meals but feigning off hunger. Made from simple ingredients with little in the way of prep, your friends are sure to deem you the snack master of the group.

Seaweed Chips

Craving the crunch of potato chips but on a Whole30 diet? Welcome these seaweed chips to your snack-time rotation. They're cholesterol-free and high in vitamin A, and seven of these spicy seaweed chips are only 42 calories.

Babaganoush

This lightened-up version of the traditional eggplant dip babaganoush eliminates olive oil from traditional recipes but not at the price of flavor or texture. This Middle Eastern recipe is a great alternative when you're craving hummus on a Whole30 plan.

Carrot Chips

Aside from a healthy dose of vitamins A and C and fiber, carrots contain antioxidants that may help reduce the risk of cancer and also improve your immune system. The entire batch of these carrot chips contains just 79 calories and offers four grams of filling fiber.

Kabocha Squash Fries

Believe us when we say, these kabocha squash fries are addicting. As in, you better make two batches or your guests are going to be very mad at you. To make sure it's Whole30-approved, be sure to skip out on the Greek yogurt dipping sauce.

Cucumber Cups With Tapenade

Missing crackers on the Whole30? Try these cucumber cups with tapenade. The one-bite snack has a satisfying crunch but also has the hydrating benefits of cucumber.

Kabocha Squash Hummus

For a more literal alternative to traditional hummus (which, unfortunately, isn't allowed on a Whole30 plan), look to kabocha squash hummus for inspiration. It's high in vitamin A from the squash and brings healthy fats from the tahini and olive oil to your table.

Baked Kale Chips

Light, crispy, and nutty, with the perfect amount of salt to complement the subtle taste of kale, you'll have a hard time not reaching for another and another of these kale chips. Dress it up with your favorite herbs or spices.

Melon and Prosciutto

Honeydew wrapped in prosciutto; the sweet and savory combination can't be beat, and it's such a cinch to whip up.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

High in plant sterols and phytochemicals, pumpkin seeds aid in lowering cholesterol and are also a good source of protein, fiber, potassium, and magnesium. Roast yours with a little coconut or olive oil, and season with salt.

Brussels Sprouts Chips

Looking for a high-fiber and low-calorie salty snack? It's time to whip up a batch of crispy brussels sprouts chips made from the roasted veggie's leaves.
