Sticking to a healthy diet doesn’t mean you have to skip the snacks. But choosing the right snacks is just as important as making smart choices at meals.

To help make sure your snacks aren’t adding on the pounds, try eating one of these 10 low-point Weight Watchers snacks for a guilt-free day.

1. Baked Buffalo Chicken Taquitos (3 points)

These simple taquitos take just 20 minutes to make, and although they look indulgent, they’ll only set you back three points. The spicy snack is made with chicken, low-fat cream cheese, buffalo sauce and flour tortillas. It’s a great option to share with the kids as well.

2. Deviled Eggs With Truffle Salt (2 points)

Hard-boiled eggs make a great, healthy snack, but they can taste boring on their own. These eggs are deviled with just a little bit of mayonnaise and both Dijon and yellow mustard, giving them a nice kick of flavor. Plus, a little truffle salt adds a gourmet touch.

3. Skinny Bell Pepper Nachos (4 points)

These nachos are low-carb and loaded with protein—they’re made with a bell-pepper base and topped with ground turkey mixed with spices. Just like regular nachos, they’re finished off with a bit of cheddar cheese. Eating two of these nacho boats will only count as four smart points.

10.Microwave-Baked Apple  (2 points)

Most of us don’t have time to wait for an apple to bake in the oven, which is what makes this snack so perfect. You can get the same soft texture by sticking the apple in the microwave, but it only takes about two minutes.
