There are several other healthy snacks for you to enjoy. When it comes to snacks, you are probably looking for something small that you can nibble on throughout the day. This is where nuts come in. Several different nuts are healthy and tasty. This includes peanuts, almonds, and cashews. The great thing about nuts is you can have them roasted, spiced, and salted. This adds loads of flavor to your nuts.
