How to Build 5 Point and Under Snacks at Home
Here are some simple strategies to help you create your own 5 point and under snacks without feeling restricted.
- Start with protein: Use Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, edamame, tuna, chicken, or beans as a base so your snack actually keeps you full. Even a small amount of protein (10–15 grams) makes a big difference in staying satisfied.
- Add volume with fruits and veggies: Pile on low-point produce like berries, apples, grapes, cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, jicama, snap peas, and cherry tomatoes. They make the snack look and feel bigger without using many points.
- Be smart with fats: Nuts, nut butter, cheese, avocado, and seeds are all great, but they add up fast. Measure a tablespoon of nut butter, a sprinkle of cheese, or a few nuts instead of eyeballing, so you can enjoy them without going over.
- Swap chips for veggies when you can: When you are having dips like hummus, queso, or salsa, reach for sliced veggies instead of chips to keep the overall snack under 5 points. Think bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, celery, broccoli, or even radishes.
- Lean on freezer and make-ahead snacks: Keep things like baked oatmeal cups, smoothie packs, popsicles, or egg muffins in the fridge or freezer, so you always have a low point option ready to grab. Planning ahead once or twice a week saves you from random snacking later.
- Build simple snack “formulas”: Try combos like yogurt + fruit, veggies + protein dip, fruit + a measured serving of nuts, or popcorn + a cheese stick. Once you find a few combos you like that stay under 5 points, repeat them and just swap the specific ingredients to keep things interesting.
