Having a premiere cable package is fantastic for staying up-to-date on all of your favorite shows. If you’re like most people, you tend to spend your TV time enjoying a snack. While it’s easy to grab the first bag of chips or sweets in your cabinet, you could actually use this snacking time to eat healthier food options that will make you feel better as you go about the rest of your day.

3 Healthier TV Snack Options

1.  Veggies & Hummus

If you typically eat chips and dip while watching TV, you can easily get the same crunch by substituting vegetables and hummus. Some delicious veggie options include carrots, cucumbers, celery, and broccoli. You also don’t have to use a plain hummus dip; roasted red pepper and avocado are two well-known favorites.

TV2. Pistachios

If you prefer something salty to munch on as you watch TV, pistachios are the perfect, healthy snack. A serving of 49 nuts contains less than 200 calories and is loaded with plenty of protein, fiber, iron, and calcium. Always buy them in the shell as cracking them open will slow down how many you can eat while your show is on.

3. Air-Popped Popcorn

Three-to-four tablespoons of popcorn kernels make an incredibly healthy and inexpensive snack to keep on hand for when you watch TV. There are only 31 calories in one cup, and the fat content is surprisingly low. So while it might seem like junk food, popcorn is actually an excellent replacement for the real junk food in your cupboards.
