Warning: This might make you hungry. And that’s OK.

Because we’ve found some excellent ways to snack without compromising a healthy diet as we start out the new year.

And, GreatLIFE members: The deal gets even better for you.

Get this first option when you see it, or they will be gone. Our friends at Chef to Plate make amazing chocolate peanut butter protein balls, and they disappear quick. Five are only 300 calories, and even a couple will easily take the edge off your hunger. Find these at GreatLIFE Woodlake and GreatLIFE Performance & Fitness Center, while they last.

Here’s another little Chef to Plate indulgence. Snack on their salted caramel popcorn — in moderation! — to add a tasty treat to your day.

Our friends at Wayne & Mary’s — a GreatLIFE partner in health — will send you to work stocked with healthy snacks to keep at your desk. These even supply some vegetables along the way!

It’s even OK to have a little chocolate during the day. We like these dark chocolate bars with orange peel, raspberries, cherries and almonds. Plus, any Wayne & Mary’s receipt gets you $5 off a GreatLIFE massage — even for nonmembers!

Here’s another reason to snack during the day: You’ll binge less at night. GreatLIFE’s Austin Kjergaard has more great snacking advice.
