Clean Eating Snacks for Weight Loss

Clean eating is more than just a diet—it’s a lifestyle that emphasizes consuming whole, minimally processed foods. For those taking GLP-1 medications, snacking smart can make all the difference. Choosing clean, nutrient-dense snacks keeps hunger at bay and supports your health and weight loss goals. Here are the top clean-eating snacks to help you shed pounds while staying satisfied.

Greek Yogurt with Fresh Berries

Greek yogurt is packed with protein, making it an ideal snack to keep you full. Combine it with antioxidant-rich fresh berries like blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries for a natural sweetness. Choose plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt to avoid added sugars, and add a drizzle of Walden Farms® Maple Syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon if you prefer a hint of extra flavor.

Why It Works for Weight Loss:

  • High protein content promotes satiety.
  • Low in calories and nutrient-dense.
  • Contains probiotics for gut health.

Raw Veggies with Hummus

Crunchy vegetables like carrots, celery, cucumber, and bell peppers pair perfectly with hummus for a satisfying snack. Hummus is made from chickpeas, which are a great source of fiber and plant-based protein.

Why It Works for Weight Loss:

  • High fiber content keeps you feeling full longer.
  • Low in calories but high in vitamins and minerals.
  • Provides healthy fats from olive oil in hummus.

Hard-Boiled Eggs

Why It Works for Weight Loss:

  • Packed with protein to curb hunger.
  • Low in calories while being nutrient-dense.
  • Easy to portion control—one or two eggs make the perfect snack size.

Apple Slices with Almond Butter

  • Nuts and seeds provide healthy fats and protein.
  • Portion control is key to avoid overeating calorie-dense ingredients.
  • Dried fruit offers natural sweetness in moderation.

Cottage Cheese with Sliced Cucumbers

Cottage cheese is a low-calorie, high-protein snack that pairs well with fresh cucumber slices for a refreshing and satisfying bite. Add a sprinkle of black pepper or a dash of paprika for extra flavor.

  • High protein content keeps hunger at bay.
  • Low in calories and rich in calcium.
  • Hydrating due to cucumber’s water content.

Avocado Rice Cakes

Rice cakes are a light and crunchy base for various toppings, and avocado is a nutrient-packed choice. Mash half an avocado, spread it over a rice cake, and add a pinch of sea salt or chili flakes for a kick.

Why It Works for Weight Loss:

Why It Works for Weight Loss:

  • Provides a good source of fiber.
