Alkaline Snacks List

My alkaline snacks list is an update to my earlier Alkaline Snack Foods. It has a tighter focus on popular foods from the USDA Key Foods list. It also has extra nutrition information in a sortable table.

Snacks cover a wide range of food. More importantly, this request for an update makes me realize there has to be a better way of organizing alkaline food tables that does not rely on USDA food groups. The current focus in nutrition circles is to categorize food groups as:

  • Fruits and Vegetables
  • Whole grains
  • Oils and Fats
  • Protein
  • Sundries including water and related fluids
  • Avoid
  • Treats to be eaten sparingly

The USDA nutrition database also includes meals, fast foods, and, as I am explaining here, snacks. Ultimately, the Foodary database will also include recipes and complete meals or snacks. For now, I am going to focus on basic foods that become ingredients for recipes. However, many people have asked for an updated alkaline snacks list, so I have included one below. There are only a few snacks included in the USDA key foods list, so I have included other groups such as Baked Products, Meals, and Fast Foods.

Unfortunately, most of these are processed foods that make healthy diets difficult, but I have included all key snacks for the sake of completeness. Snacks are a good way of spreading nutrition through the day. But they should make a healthy contribution to your diet. Not spoil all the work you have done in eating healthy meals. The best snacks are small portions of fruit and vegetables, maybe with some nuts and whole grains.

Alkaline Snacks List Review

As you can see, snacks cover a wide range of food items, some of which are not very healthy. High salt content is a common problem with many processed snack foods. Many are small meals that really belong in a recipe section. A searchable database of recipes is on the cards for Foodary, but for the next few months I will be concentrating on basic food items and health issues.
