What you look for in a snack
Each piece stands out on a different figure from its product page, and those figures are what set one apart from another.
More protein per unit
The chocolate protein flapjack has 12.9 g of protein in its 60 g, and the protein coconut snack 6.9 g in 27 g. If protein matters most, there are also protein bars.
More fiber
The nut and seed bar has 6.3 g of fiber per 30 g unit. The protein coconut snack and the date and coconut bar have 4 g each.
Few sugars
The chocolate rice snack has 0.3 g of sugars per 13 g unit, and the nut and seed bar 1.5 g in 30 g. The rice one contains polyols (2.5 g): excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.
A short recipe
The date and coconut bar has three ingredients: 90% date paste, shredded coconut and walnuts. Its 24 g of sugars per unit come from the date, and the fiber is 4 g.
Which piece for which hunger
Piece size changes the calories more than any other figure. We sort them from lowest to highest.
Up to 100 kcal
For a small nibble
The chocolate rice snack (60 kcal, 13 g) and the protein coconut snack (100 kcal, 27 g) are the small pieces. The rice snack's product page describes it as a treat and keeps it apart from training.
117 to 149 kcal
Mid-size piece
The nut and seed bar (149 kcal, 6.1 g of protein), the date and coconut bar (133 kcal) and the almond and banana bar (117 kcal) fit as a mid-morning bite.
227 kcal
For an afternoon snack
The chocolate protein flapjack weighs 60 g and has 227 kcal, 12.9 g of protein and 18.7 g of sugars. It's the heftiest piece in the category and the one that counts most as a small meal.
What to check before you buy
The word healthy measures nothing on its own. Four checks on the product page do.
Look at the unit, not the 100 g
A 13 g piece and a 60 g piece can't be compared on the same basis. The product page has a per-unit column: use it to decide, and keep the 100 g one for comparing with other products.
Read where the sugars come from
In the date and coconut bar they come from the date. In the almond and banana bar the ingredient list includes sugar. In the flapjack, invert sugar syrup. The sugars figure on each page counts every source.
Allergens
The snacks contain peanut, almond, hazelnut, walnut, milk or oats depending on the piece, and most may have traces of more. Check the list on the page of the one you're buying, even if you already know another.
Diet
Only the nut and seed bar is advertised as vegan and lactose-free. The chocolate rice snack contains whey protein and may have traces of gluten, so it isn't suitable for people with celiac disease.
If you need it for training
This category is for nibbling between meals. For effort, other categories have their own guidelines.
Before or during effort
The almond and banana bar page suggests one every 45 minutes in sessions of more than an hour; the date and coconut one, every 30-45 minutes. More options in energy bars.
With more protein
To add protein after effort or between meals, there is a wider range in protein bars, with different flavors and weights.
With probiotics
The nut and seed bar contains Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus. Probiotic bars have their own category, and each product page gives its figures.
Tip: before choosing, note which figure is missing from what you already snack on: protein, fiber or fewer sugars. Look only at that column, per unit, across the six product pages.
Healthy snacks FAQ
What are healthy snacks?
They are small pieces for between meals whose product page can be defended with data: clear ingredients and figures for protein, fiber and sugars per unit. Here you have six, from 13 to 60 g and from 60 to 227 kcal.
What are the healthiest snacks?
It depends on what you're after. For more fiber, the nut and seed bar (6.3 g per unit). For more protein, the protein flapjack (12.9 g). For fewer sugars, the chocolate rice snack (0.3 g). None wins on everything, and fresh fruit counts too.
What can I snack on between meals that is healthy?
Look for a piece whose page shows fiber and protein with few sugars. The nut and seed bar has 149 kcal, 6.1 g of protein, 6.3 g of fiber and 1.5 g of sugars per 30 g unit. Pair it with fruit or a coffee.
What can I have as a snack if I'm on a diet?
Whatever fits your calories for the day, which your dietitian or your goal sets. The range runs from 60 kcal for the rice snack to 227 kcal for the flapjack. Look at the per-unit column on each page and add those calories to your total, without letting the name decide.
Are there savory healthy snacks?
Almost everything here is sweet. The least sweet is the nut and seed bar, with 1.5 g of sugars per unit, although it has hardly any salt: 0.06 g per 100 g. If you want a truly savory one, protein bars include one with peanut, almond and cashew with sea salt.
Do healthy snacks contain sugar?
Some do. The chocolate rice snack has 0.3 g of sugars per unit, and the date and coconut bar 24 g, all from the date. In the almond and banana bar and in the flapjack, sugar appears in the ingredient list.
Are they suitable for vegans or celiacs?
Only the nut and seed bar is advertised as vegan and lactose-free. The flapjack, the coconut snack and the rice snack contain milk, and the flapjack also has oats with gluten. The date and coconut and almond and banana bars have no milk in the recipe but may have traces, and their pages don't advertise them as vegan. The rice snack warns it is not suitable for celiacs.
Can I have a healthy snack before training?
The almond and banana bar and the date and coconut bar say on their pages when to take them: before and during endurance sessions, one every 45 minutes for the first and one every 30-45 minutes for the second. The rest are for between meals. Compare in energy bars.
Which healthy snack should I take to work?
Any in the range, since they are 13 to 60 g pieces eaten as they are. The chocolate rice snack is the lightest, with 60 kcal; the flapjack, the heftiest. Store the rice snack between 15 and 25 °C, as its product page says.
