Do you snack? Most people snack, most people eat something between meals. In actuality, there is nothing wrong with snacking. Snacking is not the problem. The problem is unhealthy snacking and consuming too many calories. If you want to stick to the healthiest snacks, you should snack on foods closer to nature like fruits, veggies, cheeses, raw nuts, and seeds. Yet, sometimes, you may crave something sweeter or something salty besides cheese or nuts. We are now lucky to have healthy options available.
Snacking has been associated with obesity and poor health and with good reason. Regrettably, the food industry has made snacks full of toxic ingredients over the past few decades. Some of the most common unhealthy ingredients are:
- high fructose corn syrup
- artificial flavoring
- artificial sweeteners (saccharin, acesulfame, aspartame, neotame, sucralose)
- artificial coloring (blue 1 and 2, green 3, red 3, yellow 6)
- unhealthy fats (palm oil, trans fats, shortening or partially hydrogenated oil)
- carrageenan
- monosodium glutamate or MSG
- sodium nitrite
- sodium benzoate,
- yeast extract
- guar and xanthan gum
However, over the past few years, people are becoming more educated about their food. Fortunately, new food companies are emerging and developing foods and snacks that are taking health into consideration. Some companies are developing healthy snacks made with organic ingredients. Other companies are serving populations with unique needs like those with gluten and lactose intolerances, allergies, and people who are focusing on eating a ketogenic, high-protein, paleo, or vegan diet.
Bunny James is a company that puts boxes and gift baskets together with only the best nutritious treats. Bunny James has a great variety of boxes. It offers baskets for people with all kinds of nutritional preferences such as those with high-protein, vegan, keto, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, or allergy-free preferences.

Remember, snacking doesn’t have to be unhealthy, and when it is healthy, snacking doesn’t have to be tasteless or “gross.”!
