Healthy Snacks on GLP-1's

When using GLP-1 medications such as Mounjaro or Wegovy, appetite can change from day to day and sometimes snacks become the easiest way to stay nourished. But snacking on GLP-1s isn’t about eating more often; it’s about making every bite count.

This guide explains how to snack in a way that supports your treatment, balances energy, and helps you feel comfortable throughout the day.

GLP-1 receptor agonists slow digestion and enhance fullness, so large meals can quickly feel uncomfortable. Small, balanced snacks can help you:

• Maintain steady energy levels between smaller meals
• Avoid nausea caused by an empty stomach
• Meet daily protein and fibre needs even with a reduced appetite
• Support recovery if you’re active or exercising

Focus on protein and fibre

Choose snacks that contain both to keep you fuller for longer. Try yoghurt with seeds, nuts, or cheese with fruit.

Keep portions small

GLP-1 users often need less than they think. A handful of nuts or half a yoghurt pot may be enough.

Choose gentle textures

Soft foods like smoothies, soups, and soft fruits are easier on digestion than crunchy or dry snacks.

Avoid empty calories

Crisps, sweets, and sugary drinks can cause nausea and don’t provide lasting energy.

Challenge: Nausea between meals
Practical Response: Have a small snack such as yoghurt or a banana rather than skipping food entirely.

Challenge: Constipation
Practical Response: Choose snacks with gentle fibre like soft fruit or oats.

Challenge: Low energy in the afternoon
Practical Response: Try protein-rich options such as a smoothie or boiled egg.

Challenge: Craving sugary snacks
Practical Response: Pair fruit with protein (apple with peanut butter, berries with yoghurt) for steady energy.
