First, here’s what to look for in general when shopping for packaged snacks.
These guidelines will help you choose snacks that fill you up (that’s the goal, right?)
and avoid blood sugar spikes:

“Eating dairy foods (like yogurt) islinked to weight loss too,” she says.
With flavors like peanut butter chocolate and chocolate sea salt, you’ll satisfy your sweet tooth too.
And there are no artificial sweeteners.
Buying them at Costco helps make them more affordable.
Three cups of popcorn has under 100 calories with 3 grams of protein and 3.5 grams of fiber.
Contrast that with chips: there are over 300 calories in three cups.
Costco carries several brands, including my favorite, Boom Chicka Pop.
Costco also sells giant bags of almonds, if you want to portion them out yourself.
But veggies are your best bet to make these guacamole cups a perfect weight-loss snack.
Blueberries
What’s better than a container of blueberries?
How about a 1-pound container of blueberries?
Costco’s got you covered.
Blueberries are a low-calorie, high-fiber, antioxidant-packed snack with just 85 calories in one cup.
They’re good for satisfying sweet cravings too.
Pair with nuts or plain Greek yogurt for protein, which suppresses hunger hormones and keeps you full longer.
Hippeas
If you know, you know.
Real talk, they’re so good, we recommend portioning them out and slowly enjoying every bite.
Again, probably best to portion out into a bowl and eat mindfully if watching your waistline.
Fresh Vegetables
I can’t end this round-up without mentioning fresh vegetables of course.
For example, baby carrots, snap peas, cherry tomatoes and mini peppers.
These can be added alongside any meal.
Vegetables are the lowest calorie snacks out there but keep you full because of their high-fiber content.
