Ten snacks, none of them a granola bar in sight, and every single one built to stop you raiding the pantry at 4pm.

Liezl Jayne Strydom built her YouTube following on the back of a documented 40-to-42-pound weight loss, and by April 2017 she’d turned her attention to the part of the day that derails most diets: the gap between meals. Her video “10 EASY HEALTHY SNACK IDEAS (You NEED to try! Low Cal, Healthy, Yum!)” skips the pre-packaged bars and shakes entirely, opting instead for homemade, dairy-free, plant-forward fixes she says she actually eats. The companion write-up lives on her own site under the healthy snack tag, where she’s logged the recipes for anyone following along.

• Strydom’s chocolate protein truffles — rolled from protein powder, almond butter, cocoa powder and maple syrup — clock in at roughly 40 calories per piece.
• Her banana snack pairs sliced fruit with a warmed sauce of peanut butter, water and cinnamon rather than a dip eaten cold.
• The savory plate combines hummus topped with chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sliced olives and fresh basil, served with cucumber slices instead of pita or crackers.

The Sweet Side of the List

Two of Strydom’s ten ideas lean into dessert territory without the sugar crash that usually comes with it. The banana-and-peanut-butter combo is built around a warm sauce — peanut butter blended with water and a pinch of cinnamon, heated until it turns into something closer to a caramel drizzle than a straight spoonful of nut butter. Poured over sliced banana, it turns a piece of fruit into something that reads like a treat rather than a compromise.

The chocolate protein truffles do more of the diet heavy-lifting. Rolled by hand from protein powder, almond butter, cocoa powder and maple syrup, they land at approximately 40 calories apiece, which means popping two or three still keeps a snack in triple digits. It’s the kind of portion-control math that matters most for anyone managing weight the way Strydom has documented on her channel.

Frozen Fruit for Warm Weather

For the warmer-month stretch of the list, Strydom freezes clementine or mandarin slices and dips them in dairy-free coconut yogurt before they set. The result functions like a bite-size popsicle — cold, sweet, and built entirely from fruit and a plant-based yogurt rather than added sugar. It’s a swap aimed squarely at the ice cream or frozen-yogurt craving without the calorie count that comes with either.

Chocolate protein truffles made from protein powder, almond butter, cocoa powder and maple syrup run about 40 calories each.

Savory Options That Aren’t an Afterthought

Not every entry on Strydom’s list is sweet. Her savory plate starts with plain hummus, then gets dressed up with chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sliced olives and fresh basil, served alongside crisp cucumber slices instead of bread or crackers. It’s a chickpea-based dip doing the same nutritional job as any other hummus snack, just plated to look and taste less like a diet food. She rounds out the list with quick-blended fruit smoothies and other simple whole foods, keeping the emphasis on nutrient-dense, portion-controlled eating rather than anything requiring a shopping trip to a specialty aisle.

The through-line across all ten ideas is prevention, not restriction — snacks dense enough in protein or fiber that they head off a binge before it starts. That’s consistent with how Strydom has framed her own weight-loss maintenance elsewhere on her channel, and it’s the same logic behind the science-based approaches to trimming belly fat that show up across the diet space — smaller, smarter inputs beating outright deprivation.

Strydom keeps updating the tag page on her own site with new entries, so the ten ideas in this video aren’t the ceiling — just the starting list for anyone tired of reaching for a granola bar out of habit rather than hunger. For more snack breakdowns built the same way, the Healthy Snacks archive is the place to keep looking.
