Snack Recipes (Most Popular)
Healthy, hearty, and full of fiber! The secret to these delicious and nutritious snack muffins is baking with applesauce instead of butter. Delicious hot out of the oven with a tiny bit of butter!
Chocolate protein bars with oats, coconut and almond butter finished with cranberries.
I adapted a Hunry Girl recipe (since I didn't have a couple key ingredients called for in that recipe).
I got this recipe out of a magazine, but am not sure which one. The original recipe called for regular peanut butter, but I used "Better 'n' Peanut Butter" to reduce the peanut butter calories in half.
this is a delicious biscotti like wafer cookie. Low cal and scrumptious! Add any dried fruit you like!
I always buy granola bars but I'm tired of all the added sugars, weird chemicals, and unneccessary stuff in them, not to mention the price(think KIND, Luna, and Cliff) I thought, I HAVE all this stuff at home, why not just make them?
With granola bars, it's hard to find the right balanace. High fiber(Fiber One, Fiber Plus) bars=high SUGAR bars. Kids bars(quaker chewy) usually are whimpy in the fiber department, but also give you a hit of sugar, along with all those franken-ingredients, and oddly enough, they started putting OTHER cereals and unhealthy stuff into bars(have you seen those "treat bars") The expensive nutrition bars aren't really what I need either. They have too many calories for a little snack and tend to give me too MUCH energy for a late-night snack.
Growing up my mom always used to make rice krispies, so this is a combonation of a rice krispie and a peanut butter granola bar. This isn't the "healthy" of bar, packed with fiber or dried fruits or nuts(I only had dried apricots and cashews, not a bad combo, but I'm not gaga over either) but this is still a reasonable alternative to others.
Couldn't justify spending the money on the pre-packaged 100 calorie snacks so I made a slightly modified version for my husband and I. I made a salty variety since we prefer to munch on chips instead of sweets. I have a digital food scale so the combo was very easy to make.
I don't like hummus from the store. When I make THIS hummus, not only do I love it, but my kids can't wait to get their flat bread triangles into the bowl!
Always a hit for a game or a party. They go so fast I usually make pans and pans of them!
