Dark Chocolate
The cool thing about dark chocolate is that it’s both sweet and healthy. Granted, the very nature of dark chocolate is that it’s more on the bitter side, but it’s still a lot sweeter than most things in your kitchen. And guess what: dark chocolate offers a multitude of health benefits, and it can even improve your mental health.
Fruit
Fruit is one of the most perfect snacks you can eat. First off, it comes in compact packages—the fruit itself. Second of all, some fruits are literally bursting with flavors, such as mango or orange. Third of all, they’re super healthy, and a much better option than junk food.
