For me healthy means less added sugar, oil, flour or whatever else the food giants might decide to add. So I choose fresh simple foods. These foods have less prep time. No waiting. Dig in.
For sweet and creamy banana
For sweet and crunchy I like red peppers, apples or sugar snap peas.
For sweet and juicy I pick fresh or thawed berries, an orange or watermelon
For sweet and chewy I like dates but what other options are out there?
For hard and crunchy I choose raw almonds or other nuts, carrots or celery
Other boiled egg
What did I forget?

I do love me some sugar snap peas for crunchy.
Sweet and chewy I like dried apricots. I love it and it has a good level of iron.
In other I would put cabbage. I do like it raw. And in the case of creamy... avocados.

Funny, I never thought of cabbage as a snack. Good one, Graphite. Mmm, avacados <3.

Oh! Peanut butter on apple slices for a creamy, crispy combo.

I tried pomegranate seeds for the first time a few months ago, they are delicious and a good blend of textures and tastes.
I like unsalted cashews, and pistachios. I also love pita bread with hummus. Carrots and peanut butter or nutella. Celery and ranch or peanut butter. I love orange slices.

Juicy dribble-down-your-chin pears!
I want some trail mix.

My son found a recipe for what's called a banana blaster in his cookbook. It's a peeled banana drizzled with honey and rolled in granola. We used a granola and dark chocolate mix. It's awesome.

That sounds wonderful. Or you could roll it in any chopped nuts. Yummy.
