Snacking the Healthy Way

Because being hungry and chaotic is not the vibe.

Snacking gets a bad rap. It’s either seen as something to avoid or something to “hack” — like if you eat almonds in a tiny bowl it somehow doesn’t count. Here’s the truth: I love to snack. I always have something with me — in my bag, in the car, in the kitchen — because life happens between meals. I just make sure what I’m eating is intentional and actually makes me feel better after, not worse.

Here’s how I snack the healthy way — without guilt, sugar crashes, or bland rice cakes.

Rule 1: Real Ingredients Only

If it didn’t exist 100 years ago, it’s not going in my body. That means I skip anything with dyes, gums, or unpronounceable oils. A short ingredient list is my gold standard.

My Go-To Clean Snacks

1. Cucumber Slices with Spicy Salt

Crisp, hydrating, and topped with a little kick of my Jennifer Fisher Spicy Salt. Sometimes I add hummus or almond butter (don’t knock it till you try it).

2. Hard-Boiled Eggs with Everything Salt

High-protein and easy to prep in batches. I slice them and sprinkle with Everything Salt or a dash of sriracha if I want heat.

3. Almonds + Dark Chocolate

A classic. I do a small handful of roasted almonds and a square of Hu chocolate. Sweet, salty, satisfying.

4. Siete Chips with Guac

These are my go-to grain-free crunch when I need something substantial. I’ll mash avocado with lemon, salt, and a little garlic powder — quick and perfect.

5. Greek Yogurt with Chia and Cinnamon

I go for full-fat, unsweetened yogurt, stir in chia seeds, and dust it with cinnamon. Sometimes I’ll add a drizzle of honey or a few berries if I’m feeling extra.

What I Sip Between Meals

• Green juice (low fruit, high veggie)

• Matcha with almond milk (unsweetened only)

• Coconut water + trace minerals for afternoon hydration

  
  

Jennifer’s Notes

• I don’t count calories. I count how things make me feel.

• If it doesn’t energize me or keep me clear-headed, it’s not a good snack — even if it’s "healthy."

• I keep snacks visible in the fridge — prepped and ready — because we reach for what’s convenient.

  
  

Snacking Is Self-Care

You don’t have to eat boring food to eat clean. You don’t have to skip snacks to feel strong. You just have to be intentional. Stock your kitchen like you stock your closet — with pieces that fit, feel good, and work for your lifestyle.
