Snacks are basically little bites of food that one eats throughout the day to prevent overeating. But people have a habit of eating unhealthy, processed food as snacks which also adversely affects their health. Here is a list of a few healthy snacks that one can indulge in:

Muffins made from Bran whole wheat

Muffins are usually considered unhealthy because of the fat they induce into one’s body. But this recipe uses wheat bran cereal and whole wheat flour in the batter making it one of the healthy snacks that one can indulge in. The fat in the muffin can also be replaced by apple sauce. One can also have a memorable family time while baking the muffins. And the best part? One batch of muffins can serve as an evening snack for two days at least.
