40 Healthy Sweet Snacks (Low calorie!) - The Big Man's World ® (2)

As someone who diets regularly, having snacks on hand is imperative.

Snacking between meals keeps me energised throughout the day and also aids my weight loss goals. Before I started paying attention to my food, I’d often reach for candy bars or ice cream, which aren’t the best options. If I didn’t snack on one of those, I’d simply remain hungry until dinner time and then overdo it because of my hunger!

To ensure I stick to my goals, I try to keep my snacks on the healthier side. Because I’m more of a sweet snacker, you can bet my snacks reflect that too.

There are plenty of sweet snacks to choose from but an easy and foolproof one to have on hand are these sweet snack bars. They require just four ingredients and take less than a minute to make. They also don’t require any baking. Here is how to make it.

The Ingredients.

  • Peanut butter– smooth and creamy peanut butter with no added sugar. You can use almond butter or a nut free alternative, like sunflower seed butter.
