Poppy Harris, a food blogger who focuses on heart-healthy dishes, is aware of how difficult it can be to find portable, low-sodium snacks. She asserts that flavor and health don’t have to be mutually exclusive. These are her top picks.
1. Roasted Chickpeas: Poppy describes these as crispy, salty, and really simple to prepare. “Easy toss chickpeas with your preferred spices and olive oil, then bake until crispy.”
2. Hummus with Fresh Vegetable Sticks: “A traditional snack is carrots, celery, and cucumber with hummus,” says Poppy. “Even making your own low-sodium hummus at home is possible.”
3. Nut butter on apple slices: Poppy adores apple slices with almond butter for a savory and sweet treat. She says, “It’s satisfying and has that ideal harmony of flavors.”
4. Avocado-topped rice cakes: Poppy recommends spreading avocado on a rice cake and adding chili flakes on top. “It’s straightforward but fulfilling.”
5. Popcorn without salt: She chuckles, “Popcorn is a lifesaver.” “For a guilt-free snack, use your favorite salt-free seasonings and a little olive oil.”
Poppy advises experimenting with different pairings. “With a little imagination, healthy snacking can be delicious.”
