The biggest challenge of course is that although we all like to snack, the wrong snacks can totally screw up all your attempts at getting flat abs. The trick is knowing what to look for in a healthy snack, and going for foods that help boost your metabolism and help you burn fat.

Delicious Snacks for Flat Abs
Beet Chips & Dip
Toss some raw beet slices with olive oil and sea salt, and bake for 15-20 minutes. Use some baba ghanoush to dip them in, and you’ve got a nutritious chips-and-dip alternative.
Zesty Watermelon
Looking for something really fresh? Squeeze a little lime juice on a few watermelon slices and sprinkle with cayenne pepper and chopped pistachios.
Dried Fruit & Cheese
My favorite combo is dried apricots and Gouda cheese. Keep your portions low, and you’ll satisfy your sweet and salty cravings at the same time.
Veggies & Guacamole
Slice up some carrots and celery, and use some home-made or prepared all-natural guacamole for dip. It’s a low-fat spin on veggies and dip.
Sliced Banana & Almond Butter
I like to chill the banana for 10 minutes before slicing it up with a tablespoon of all-natural almond butter on the side.
Steamed Edamame
Just steam the edamame, and toss with a little olive oil, sea salt, and garlic powder (as desired). For a creative twist add truffle oil instead of olive oil!
Loaded Celery Sticks
Grab a couple celery sticks, top with cottage cheese (about a tablespoon per stick), and sprinkle with fresh dill and chopped green onion.
Cucumbers & Greek Yogurt
Slice half a cucumber lengthwise and dip in some plain, non-fat Greek yogurt.
Nutty Coconut Pears
Slice up a pear into ¼-inch slices, spread on a little almond or cashew butte (all-natural), and sprinkle with a little shredded coconut.
Carrots & Hummus
A classic healthy snack, this one can’t be forgotten. It’s low in calories and pretty satisfying!
Steamed Artichoke
Steam a whole artichoke, and dip the leaves in a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar as you enjoy their meaty tips.
Cheesy Cauliflower
Toss some cauliflower florets with a little olive oil, parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper, and roast in the oven on broil for 10-12 minutes.
