10 Healthy Midnight Snack Ideas

Many of us belonged to the night owls where we

burn the midnight oil for certain reasons.

Some of are either forced to be awake throughout

the night for self-studying , loads of homework to be

done or just for the sake of watching our favorite

K dramas.

As much as we love to stay awake past midnight, we

couldn’t ignore the hunger pangs that kept

disturbing our midnight tasks with much annoyance.

Hence, midnight snack is the solution to fix the

hunger pangs and I am sure that you would agree

with me that you wouldn’t want to drag yourself to

the kitchen, whip up something nice but mom is

going to nag at you the next morning for the mess

you had created.

Hence, it is wise to have easy to prepare and quick

to eat midnight snacks that are nutritious and

healthy.

You don’t have to gorge into a huge bowl of

delicious food especially past midnight.

You might overhaul your digestive system with

heavy meals past midnight.

Try having these light midnight snacks for a change

instead of chomping down a bag of potato chips.

If you planned to stay up late tonight, here are 10

Healthy midnight snacks that you might want to try

out:

 

 

 

#1-High-Fiber Cereal and Milk instead of

popcorn

 

Choose corn cereal instead of honey rings or cocoa

cereal. Avoid those cereal with honey with sugar

coated. High fiber cereal with bran and figs are

better although it may cost more money. Add in

fresh low fat milk or low calorie powder milk into the

cereal.

 

 

#2-Fruit and Nuts instead of bag of potato

chips

Say goodbye to salty bag of potato chips or any

other tidbits. Buy a bag of dried fruits or you can

even homemade real fruits into dried fruits on your

own. Dried fruits such as sultanas, dried mangoes,

dried apricots mix with non-salted nuts make a

great snack to chew while to surf the internet.

 

 

#3- Toast Ham on Bread instead of

Hamburgers

Avoid hamburger for midnight snack. These burgers

are high in calories and fatty, bad for your digestion.

Toast a slice of ham with a little butter, slip into

pitta bread or whole wheat bread with compliments

of cucumbers and tomatoes.

 

 

#4- A cup of Yogurt With Chopped

Fruit instead of Ramen Noodles

Ramen or instant noodles are high in sodium,

indigestible and cause constipation. Might as well try

a cup of yogurt ( plain original ) mix with chopped

fresh fruits such as kiwi, banana, apple, orange,

grapes or strawberries.

 

 

#5- Whole Grain Toast With Peanut

Butter instead of White Bread with Fruit Jam

 

Fruit jam is loaded with too much sugar, bad for

your teeth. White bread contain less nutrition

compare to whole grain bread. You can homemade

your own peanut butter with roasted ground

peanuts, blend with butter and sugar under your

control.

#6- Granola Fruit Bar instead of candy bars

Avoid candy bars or chocolate bars at night. Too

much sugar might induce obesity and diabetes

problem. Go for a bar of granola fruit bar with less

sugar. Quaker brand granola bars are filling and

cheap.

#7- A cup of plain Yogurt instead of ice-cream

Say no to ice-cream, too chilly and bad for your

teeth too. Grab a cup of plain yogurt or fruity yogurt

for a quick snack.

#8- Whole wheat bread with low fat cheese instead

of white bread

I always buy a loaf of whole wheat bread which cost

a little more than white bread. In addition it has

more fibre embedded into it. I love the crusty sides

of whole wheat bread, crisp and brownish. Low fat

cheese with slices of tomatoes taste great !

#9- Strawberries with dip melted chocolates instead

of a packet of chocolate nuggets

Buy a bar of chocolates but don’t eat the whole bar.

Break into several pieces, melted 2 pieces in

microwave oven, dip fresh strawberries and pop into

your mouth.

#10- Whole grain Cracker pizza instead of real pizza

Instead of real pan pizza, I love to try out whole

grain crackers with pizza toppings. Glaze with

mayonnaise or salad dressing, sprinkle with strips of

carrots, raw green peppers and lettuce with pieces

of ham. Awesome !
