10 Low-Sugar Snacks That Keep You Satisfied

If you're anything like me, snacking is a must—but too often, snacks loaded with sugar leave me feeling sluggish and hungry an hour later. That’s why I’ve made it a mission to find low-sugar snacks that actually keep me satisfied without compromising on flavor or energy. Whether you're managing your sugar intake for health reasons or just trying to avoid that 3 PM crash, these snacks are game-changers. Let me share my go-to list that’s helped me snack smarter and feel better throughout the day.

1. Greek Yogurt with Berries

Greek yogurt is thick, creamy, and packed with protein. I love adding a handful of fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries for natural sweetness without piling on sugar. It’s my favorite way to stay full between meals.

2. Hard-Boiled Eggs

Simple, portable, and satisfying. I keep a few hard-boiled eggs in the fridge for a quick, low-sugar snack packed with protein and healthy fats. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper, and you’re good to go.

3. Nut Butter with Apple Slices

I slice up a crisp apple and dip it in a tablespoon of almond or peanut butter (the kind with no added sugar, of course!). The combo of fiber and healthy fats keeps me full and gives just the right hint of sweetness.

4. Hummus with Veggie Sticks

Crunchy, colorful veggies like carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers pair perfectly with creamy hummus. This snack not only tastes great but also helps me hit my veggie goals for the day.

5. Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seeds soaked overnight in almond milk with a touch of vanilla extract make a delicious, low-sugar pudding. I top it with a few nuts or seeds for crunch. It feels indulgent but keeps sugar in check.

6. Cottage Cheese with Cucumber Slices

Cottage cheese is underrated, in my opinion. It’s low in sugar and high in protein. I love it with cucumber slices and a dash of pepper for a refreshing snack that actually fills me up.

7. Mixed Nuts

I always carry a small container of unsalted mixed nuts. Almonds, walnuts, and cashews offer a satisfying crunch and are rich in healthy fats—perfect for a quick pick-me-up without the sugar spike.

8. Avocado on Whole Grain Crackers

Mashed avocado on whole grain crackers is one of my all-time faves. The fiber from the crackers and the good fats from the avocado keep me full and fueled for hours.

9. Turkey Roll-Ups

I take a slice of turkey, wrap it around a piece of cheese or a pickle, and voilà—instant low-sugar snack. These roll-ups are satisfying, savory, and super easy to prep ahead.

10. Roasted Chickpeas

When I’m craving something crunchy and salty, roasted chickpeas are my go-to. They’re full of protein and fiber, and I can make them with different seasonings to switch things up—smoky paprika is my current favorite.

Finding snacks that are low in sugar but still keep me satisfied has made a big difference in how I feel throughout the day. No more energy crashes or constant cravings—just balanced, feel-good snacking. Give some of these a try, and let me know which ones become your favorites too!
