Here Are 10 Awesome Healthy Snack Brands We're Binging On Guilt-Free

On a random Monday morning I discovered the concept and sheer power of energy bars thanks to The Whole Truth. (Shout-out to the mocha-almond fudge one!) They do clean, snack-able, and healthy products from nut butters, protein bars, energy bars, muesli, and even dark chocolate. When it comes to the protein bars, what I particularly like about them is that they have a "mini" option because lets face it most of us are full half-way through a full-sized one. They pride in being super transparent about their ingredients and what goes into each product which gets a thumbs up from me. 

If you go to a gym, or think about eating right, we bet you've heard of Rite Bite Max Protein. And if you haven't, allow us to introduce you to the power-house of protein. This brand offers a a huge variety of super protein rich food across several categories from protein, nutrition bars, muesli munchies, protein chips, and even protein cookies! They also do snack boxes that range from monthly dose of snacks, to boxes specifically for midnight munchies, to fitness enthusiasts. I've tried their protein cookies and definitely vouch for it especially as a post-work out snack! 

Predominantly delivering in Bangalore, everything from breakfast, salad, pizza essentials, nut butters, cooking oils, pickles, artisanal pastas and much much more. They've gone pan-India but with a size cut in their delivery options. You'll find a bunch of snacks here from your classic murukku, chips, and mixtures. But what caught our eye were the healthier and fun options of ragi pakodas, jaggery banana chips, peanut brittle to name a few. We love that most of their products are freshly made with no added preservative or nasties. 

Munching mindlessly? Just ensure you do so with an Evolve Snack in hand. Their range of healthy titbits - trail mixes, nuts, seeds, grams, chips, crisps and desserts - is the best thing to have happened to a perpetually hungry me. Stock up on their tangy & spicy foxnuts, these will come in handy no matter what time of the day you choose to raid your snacks cupboard in. I also use their super seed mix for my smoothie bowls all the time. Oh and did I mention how binge-worthy their gur chana is?

If a packet of chips is what your snacking dreams are made of, then ditch the unhealthy fried variety and switch to Sattviko's delish khakras. Sattvic is derived from the word ‘Sattva’ meaning ‘pure’, which is what you get - clean snacking delights. I got myself a combo of all the 6 flavours (methi, jeera, chatpata, achaari, pizza and rajgiri) of khakra chips they have on offer to prepare for a movie marathon night. 

'Healthy is boring' - a refrain I have often heard and something that cannot be further from the actual truth. The Healthy Cravings Co proves that healthy snacking can be made enjoyable, delicious and fun too. What really stood out for me was that their snacks are made with 100% natural and homegrown ingredients and yet there is zero compromise on the taste. I can't seem to get enough of their roasted jowar puffs and makhaanas. 

It is one simple solution to your daily hunt for different and delicious snacks. I fell in love with their granola section, with so many delicious options to choose from. If like me, you're someone who likes to whip up a healthy smoothie bowl every once in a while, then check out the toppings of different nuts, seeds and fruits they have to offer. What's more? They have a subscription-based model which offers a box per week; you can choose a monthly plan as per your needs too. 

Healthy snacks can sound boring but True Elements are making healthy eating fun with their chatpata seed mixes. With options like Chilli Masala Pumpkin seeds and Roasted Pumpkin seeds Cheesy Onion, these guys sure make healthy snacking sound like a doable option. Their protein mixes and roasted seeds are loaded with essential nutrients and are totally binge-worthy. 

Tamarind Candy Pops, anyone? Go Desi has some really interesting options for snacking on the go. I am talking Banana Bites, Amla Candy, Dried Lemon Chaat and so on. Perfect to give your energy levels a boost and lift up your mood. I have lost count of the number of Imli Pop packets I've emptied thus far. Now, that's what guilt-free bingeing feels like.

Cheese pesto peanuts, nacho cheese jowar puffs, manchurian popped chips and more - the list of cool snacking options is endless. Say hello to Snackible. They've got everything from whole wheat waffle right up to baked pizza strips to peri peri ragi chips. The crunch in their snacks will drown out the rumble in your stomach in no time!

To be honest, this is as close to guilt-free snacking as you can possibly get. Hello! I am talking about eating your veggies the fun way. No nasties involved. All their snacks are made from 100% real vegetables and use 50% less oil as compared to other fried chips. Need I say more? Their range of chips come in many flavours like crunchy tomato with mint, herbed taro with oregano and basil and so on. Can't tolerate beetroot in its original form? Try TBH's crispy beetroot chips and thank me later.

Graminway has got a wide range of snacks. Soya Chips, Ragi Crisps and the Berry-Millet Granola all fulfil that same in-between craving, in a nourishing way. It's sure to keep your energy up and help you stay healthy too. Plus, it helpshelps that the snacks go perfectly well with that late-afternoon chai, and that mid-morning coffee!
