11 Healthy Snack Recipes
As follow up to this recent post about the challenges of healthy snacking, I decided to round up some more nutritious recipes to help us all satisfy those pesky snack cravings. I called on some fellow food-blogger friends and asked them to share their favorite healthy snack recipes. Since “healthy” means so many things these days, this list has something for everyone. From vegan to gluten-free or dairy-free, from sweet-tooth to savory snackers, we’ve got something for you to indulge in no matter your craving.
Vegan Vigilante’s Cookie Dough Bites
I mean, she had me at cookie dough…
Mix My Table’s Tropical Energy Snack Bites
This recipe had me at Energy….am I the only one who feels like I could use a burst of good ol’ fashioned energy?!
Journey to the Garden’s Maple Rosemary Almonds
This recipe excites me because the almonds look like little decadent jewels! But more importantly, I am always looking for candied nut recipes that don’t call for egg or butter, so this dairy-free, vegan option totally hits the mark.
Vegan Vigilante’s Black Bean Stuffed Mini Peppers
Miniature peppers makes it feel like a snack, but black beans and pearl couscous make it filling. Snacks should satisfy, otherwise, you’ll just want another snack in ten minutes!
Project Meal Plan’s Cinnamon Apple Date Bars
Dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, packed with fiber and nutritionally dense? Now, that’s a snack worth snacking on!
Mix My Table’s Cinnamon Apple Chip Snackers
Maybe it’s a Michigan thing, but I love all great apple recipes, and when they involve snacking, all the better!
Lemon Thymes’ Vegan Banana Bread
Since I love freshly baked bread of any kind, I appreciate a recipe that indulges my cravings while offering a healthier twist. I’m also super intrigued by the coconut milk in this recipe.
Feeding Gluten Free’s Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Balls
This is the type of recipe I would make for a gluten-free, dairy-free client, and myself. No-bake, ready in less than 10 minutes, and sure-to-satisfy are the best kind of sweet-tooth recipes, IMO.
L.S. Live Well’s Coconut Yogurt Sundae
Everyone gets a craving for ice cream from time to time, am I right?! I love this play on a classic food craving so you can feel indulgent, but you won’t go over board and eat an entire carton of ice cream on the couch! (A small carton, but still…)
Fit Mitten Kitchen’s Paleo Cacao Coffee Protein Bars
And now….coffee….yes, please!! I’ll take it in a cup, I’ll take it frozen in my ice cream and I’ll certainly take it in these beautiful, healthy little snackers.
The Craveable Kitchen’s Avocado-Sweet Pea Hummus
And finally, we all know by now that I crave my chips and dip! Luckily, this recipe is a snack I can feel pretty darn good about.
What a great post! I am ready to sit down and eat all of these. The best part is, no sugar hangover, just feeling peachy!
I know. I’m trying to decide which one to make first! 🙂
This is a fantastic round-up of recipes. Makes me hungry just looking at it. Thanks for including me. Looking forward to sharing it as soon as I have my morning coffee!
Thanks for contributing! Those chocolate cookie dough bites….:)
I like the way you tie in “craveable kitchen” with craving snacks…what a good idea.
All kinds of cravings over here in the kitchen! 🙂
Cheers to healthy snacking!! Love this post a Emily!
I can’t decide which one of your recipes to try first! 🙂
Thanks for putting this together! I can’t wait to try all the other recipes:-)
