Who among us has never felt like having a snack for a movie/series? Most often we reach for the less healthy ones - chips, bread sticks, crackers, peanuts in coating, cookies, etc. What if we replace high-fat, caloric, processed products with a healthier alternative? This is a great idea for which the body will certainly thank us.

Below are some of these alternatives. Find out how easy it is to replace unhealthy snacks. ;)

• Crispy chickpeas. Canned or jar chickpeas (you can also buy dry and cook them yourself), rinse thoroughly, add a tablespoon of olive oil and your favorite spices (I used: sweet pepper, old Polish garlic, a pinch of salt, hot pepper), mix thoroughly, put on a baking tray and bake at 180°C until golden brown (about 15-20 minutes). Chickpeas are a legume that contains large amounts of protein, which can help replenish its deficiencies. In addition, it is very filling, although low in calories.
• Hummus with vegetables. You can use ready-made hummus with a good composition, or make it yourself. The recipe is very simple: mix boiled chickpeas (or canned ones) by adding a tablespoon of tahini paste, two cloves of garlic, lemon juice and a little olive oil and spices - pepper, salt and a pinch of cumin. Cut vegetables (cucumber, carrot, pepper) into sticks and eat them soaking in hummus.
• Vegetable spring rolls. Cut vegetables into sticks (pepper, cucumber, carrot, onion), tear lettuce into smaller pieces, wrap in rice paper soaked in lukewarm water. Eat before soaking in soy sauce.
• Oatmeal cookies. Put 200 g oats (approx. 1.5 cups), 4 tablespoons of erythritol (approx. 60 g), 2 heaping tablespoons of wheat flour (approx. 45 g) and a flat teaspoon of baking powder in a bowl. Beat 2 medium or smaller eggs, add 100 g of very soft or melted and cooled butter. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a spoon. Line the tray with baking paper. Pour small portions of the dough, forming balls the size of a small walnut. Flatten the balls on the paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 ° C (top / bottom heat) for 15-20 minutes, until the cookies are golden. Remove the cookies from the oven after baking.
• Potato chips from the oven. Peel the potatoes, wash them and cut them into thin, almost transparent slices with a mandolin, i.e. a thinly slicing grater. Mix thoroughly in a bowl with a little olive oil - depending on the amount of potatoes. Line a baking sheet with baking paper, place the potato slices on it, then season with salt and selected spices. Put in the oven preheated to 180°C. Bake in the ajar oven for about 7-10 minutes, turn the slices over and bake another 7-10 minutes. If they are not crispy enough, dry them for a few more minutes.

Remember, however, that everything is for people and once in a while you can afford something less healthy. It is important that unprocessed products are an advantage in the diet, and processed ones are only an occasional addition.
