But I\u2019ve got 5 ideas to help mix up your snack game!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">1. Seaweed Strips: Forget about potato chips, seaweed strips are crunchy, salty, satisfying, and packed with minerals like iodine which supports thyroid health. Find them in the Asian food section at your grocery store.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">2. Sweet Potato Toasts: Sweet potato toasts are a delicious swap for your regular bread. Slice, toast, and top them with your favorite sandwich fillings for a vitamin A-rich, gluten-free, sweet-and-savory treat. (One of my faves: topped with whipped cottage cheese or mashed avocado.)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">3. Roasted Chickpeas: These little treats are another swap for when you want something crunchy. They are good sources of fiber and protein \u2013 plus they contain folate, antioxidants, B group vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and magnesium.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">4. Avocado Chocolate Mousse: Talk about a decadent swap for the next time you want ice cream! The biggest challenge in making this recipe is waiting until it\u2019s chilled before diving into it!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Roughly chop \u00bc avocado and place it in a high-speed blender and process until smooth. Add 1 tsp each cocoa powder and maple syrup, 2 tsp coconut cream, and 2 Tbsp melted dark chocolate, and blend until smooth and mousse-like. Scrape out of the blender into a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before eating.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">5. Jerky: This is a great choice when you want something chewy. There are tons of different types of jerky on the market now \u2013 from mushroom and seaweed to beef and turkey. Just be sure to scour the label to make sure it\u2019s made from simple, recognizable ingredients and is low in salt and sugar.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">These swaps are a tasty alternative to traditional snacks\u2026 but also pack a nutrient punch and will help keep you fueled and on track.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Remember: planning ahead of time can help you break the snack attack cycle! Having healthy options on-hand is the key.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"an1\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/15.0\/1f511\/32.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd11\" data-emoji=\"\ud83d\udd11\" aria-label=\"\ud83d\udd11\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Happy snacking!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Toodles,<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mollie<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>PS.
