These days, food manufacturers are coming up with many ways to enjoy a healthy snack. While fruits and vegetables are good options that are often loaded with fiber and low on calories, change is a good thing too. More people are finding that buffalo jerky is a nice alternative to beef and pork products.

Nowadays, a person can find many varieties of jerky at their neighborhood store and online. These range from poultry, seafood, and even meat alternatives like seitan, soy, or tofu. There are also a number of jerky flavors from which to choose, as these range from fruity to savory or a combination of intense or unexpected combinations. One ingredients that is being used in seasoning blends is chardonnay or herbs like rosemary.

For those who like to plan intimate socials, there are many edible choices that are likely to meet the approval of guests. Instead of a calorie laden sour cream dip, using hummus for dipping pita chips is a much healthier option. While most recipes chickpeas and olive oil flavored with garlic and lemon juice, there are varieties with beets or roasted peppers. Chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, have a number of healthy properties, like fiber.

For a sweet treat, Greek yogurt has little sugar and is good with dried fruit pieces and grain toppings. This may be a welcome change to the traditional ice cream party for kids or adults. In a partially frozen state, vanilla Greek yogurt can be easily mistaken for its high dairy counterpart. Because some brands contain probiotics, it may be good for the digestive system.

Most people would be amazed at how easy these new low calorie snacks are to prepare. Besides being inexpensive, these allow anyone to eat healthy without a lot of fuss. This holds true for chips, as most vegetables can be sliced and baked in an oven until crisp. The amount of oil used is just a small fraction of what some restaurant use to deep fry potatoes and other vegetables.

Besides the ease and the fact that many choices here are relatively inexpensive, there are important dietary factors. Foods that are low in fat and sodium not only helps one to lose weight faster but can prevent things like elevated cholesterol and high blood pressure. While there are a few exceptions on the market, anyone can make their own version at home and control what goes in.

Finally, many of the healthier food choices that are coming out are not only portable but easy to store. Jerky meats are edible as long as they remain in room temperature. Most brands are individually packaged, which is ideal when on the run.

These products are good benefits of making healthier choices when having fun with others. Not everyone has to have a balanced three course meal all of the time. Depending on the preparation, these foods can be a nice substitute for the days when a person does not want to indulge in their guilty pleasures.
