Read on to find out what are the healthy snacks that are fun to eat and absolutely delicious!

#1 Seaweed

This crunchy and low-calorie snack is a great healthy alternative to chips and crackers! Remember to check that there isn’t too much additional salt or oil in the ingredients list. Try the Ceres Organics Seaweed Snack ($2.45) that's lightly roasted and seasoned with natural salt!

This can be tricky! Some cereals market themselves as high in fibre and good for your health but is actually loaded with sugar and other unhealthy ingredients. Take a good look at the ingredient list for snacks that are low in sugar, high in fibre, protein and omega-3 fats as well as not containing palm oil, artificial colours or artificial preservatives. Try the Bear Naked 100% Pure & Natural Granola ($9.46) with almond milk!

#3 Dark chocolate
