Snack time can be daunting for folks following a no-sugar diet. Even seemingly healthy packaged snacks can contain hidden added sugars. So always read those labels. But to ensure your snacks really are sugar-free, make them yourself at home. Here are some favorite snacks to get you started. These top-rated recipes feature whole foods with absolutely no added sugar, sugar substitutes, or other sweeteners.

Best snacks for a no sugar diet.

1. Banana Oat Energy Bars

Grated carrots and apple combine with mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, rolled oats, and chopped peanuts. No added sugar. "Really great and healthy, perfect pre-run breakfast or for a quick snack," says cecdaisy.

2. Quick Black Bean Hummus

"Black beans make a delicious and healthy alternative to the usual garbanzo beans in hummus," says htiz. "If you have any roasted veggies on hand those also make a great addition blended in to the hummus!"

3. Gourmet Microwave Popcorn

Popcorn has a ton going for it. It's low calorie and has lots of fiber. But if you're buying packaged pre-popped popcorn, watch out for added sugars and partially hydrogenated oils. Easily the healthiest popcorn is the kind you make at home, where you can control the salt and butter.

4. Hatch Chile Salsa

This fresh salsa does it with roasted Hatch chile peppers. You'll combine them with diced tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. "A well-rounded, tasty salsa," says bd.weld. "Hatch chiles have a bit more kick than Anaheim peppers."

"Feel free to get creative with the ingredients! Substitute cilantro with mint or parsley, or chia seeds with sesame or poppy seeds."

10. Sesame Date Rolls

Chopped dried dates, toasted sesame seeds, chopped walnuts, almonds, shredded coconut, and simple seasonings create a sensational sugar-free, no-bake snack bar. "Date rolls with a hint of spice and sesame seeds are great for a grab-and-go snack!" says Kim . "They taste even better the next day!"
