Question of the Day
- What is your favorite simple snack right now?
That popcorn looks so good! Any kind of popcorn is one of my all-time favorite snacks.
These snacks look amazing! Thanks for the collection – I have to try the strawberry and coconut soft serve!
I’m going to go try that popcorn recipe, sounds yummy! My favorite simple snack is “healthy cookies” from Skinnytaste. You mash 2 ripe bananas, add 1 cup of oats, 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Bake in the oven at 350 for 14 minutes. SO good.
I cannot get over how good that popcorn looks. I am addicted to popcorn and I LOVE the sweet/salty combo!
Love these ideas! My fav is homemade hummus and veggies!
My favorite snack right now is an English muffin topped with Laughing Cow cheese and cucumber slices…perfect pre or post gym snack. I’ll have to give your snacks a try for some variety, thanks!
Awesome. I’m always in need of simple Snacks, especially as I’m getting busier in the Summer. I always feel like pre frozen smoothies, protein balls, or homemade bars are the best way to go on those days. Or just a simple fruit and nuts combo.
Love these snack ideas…especially the popcorn! Right now I’m loving peanut butter on toasted whole wheat bread for a simple snack.
Oh I love these ideas! I love the soft serve too because I am such a frozen yogurt addict and this looks like a great and healthy substitute!
Yum I’m gonna have I try some of these!
Funny you should post this. I was searching on Pinterest for a granola recipe and found your peanut butter one. I made it yesterday and it was delish! I will never buy store bought granola again! Thanks! Can’t wait to try the granola bars and truffles!
My latest snack is to make my own “trail mix”: literally a handful of salted almonds, a handful of gluten free crisps/crackers, and a few chocolate chips. Salty + sweet. Done!
My favorite quick, healthy snack right now, is A cookie dough made with one tablespoon of coconut flour and 1/2-1 tbsp of coco powder mixed with two tablespoons of almond milk mix it in A small dish and pop it in the freezer for 5-10 min its great for A sweet craving, sometimes I sub the coco for PB2 or cinnamon and stevia for A different flavor:)
Always love your roundups! Can’t wait to try some of these!
My go-to healthy snack right now is a piece of toast with mashed avocado, topped with sea salt and pepper. SO delicious!!
My go-to snacks at work are cottage cheese with a handful of crackers, peanut butter apple slices, or a greek yogurt topped with a little cereal. And popcorn or hot cocoa before bedtime make me one happy girl!
Lately I can’t keep my hand out of a bag of Skinny Pop popcorn (which totally defeats the skinny part if I keep eating it!).
LOVE strawberry and coconut soft serve!
Mmmm that strawberry coconut soft serve! Yumm.
My favorite healthy snacks are snack plates–cheese, whole grain crackers, and cucumbers.
I loveeeee this recipes roundup!!! 😀 Thanks Julie!!! Almond butter granola…here I come!!! 😉
Mmmm these all look so tasty! My favorite quick n’ healthy snack of the moment is simply fresh cut veggies with cheese.
Some great snack ideas there 🙂 I’m loving just fruit to snack on at the moment like apples, oranges and berries.
These are making me hungry! I might need to make some of those oatmeal walnut date balls tonite 🙂
my favorite simple snack right now is toasted Ezekiel bread topped with a mix of almond butter + fruit + agave nectar. yum!
I love peanut butter mocha smoothies! They are one of my morning staples! Best on the go breakfast treat. Sometimes I like to skip the cocoa powder and use a tbs of dark chocolate chips if its a treat kind of morning! I also love adding chia seeds to every smoothie! I’ll have to try that popcorn….looks delicious! Thanks!
Oh my gosh, I have got to make that Cinnamon Peanut Butter Popcorn!! Looks & sounds amazing
Energy Balls from Pinterest. It has peanut butter, chocolate chips, honey, vanilla, oatmeal, ground flaxseeds…it’s awesome!
I just made them the other night- so good!! My kids and husband love them, too!
Wow I love all of these especially the Key Lime Pie Protein Smoothie, how creative! I definitely need to get in the kitchen and get cookin! My favorite snack right now is dried blueberries in almond milk with a 1/3 scoop protein powder!! Thanks for sharing 🙂 Love + Shine CourtStar
I’ve made banana soft serve plenty of times but I really need to try out using strawberries – yum!
Hi Julie,
Yesterday I was surfing the internet looking for little healthy snacks that you can make yourself and I only found a few. When I read your blog this morning I couldn’t believe what you had written!!! THANK YOU! I still can’t get over that your recipes are exactly what I was looking for yesterday, how do things like this happen!?!
Also thank you for your blogs everyday, they’re a great positive start to my day!
Emily 🙂
Those are some great snack ideas. I want to make the peanut butter popcorn so bad!
Since it’s summer time, I’ve been enjoying a cold light beer (Michealob Ultra) and a handful of pistachios some afternoons/evenings.
Can’t wait to try the vegan truffles! I had a question for you. Do you ever detox your eating regime? If so, how?
Right now I love snacking on healthier versions of muffins that I make by using applesauce in place of butter or oil. And instead of baking the muffin batter in a muffin tin I use a cupcake tin to make them into the perfect size. It’s a perfect was to satisfy my hunger and my sweet tooth if I decide to add things like sweet coconut, fruit, or some chocolate chips!
Peanut Butter Mocha Smoothie sounds great! It combines two of my favorite things!
I love these little individual trail mix packs from Trader Joe’s. They’re perfect for my purse!
Yum! The date walnut energy balls look delicious and super convenient!
My favorite simple snack right now is maple or honey roasted almonds. They pair really well with some fruit or yogurt for a quick pick-me-up!
Julie,
I found your blog a few months ago, and love it! Those Chocolate Walnut Truffles look delicious! My favorite snacks right now are Blue Almond Nut Thins with hummus or fresh salsa, and Dark Chocolate covered Edamame from Trader Joe’s. Thanks for sharing these great recipes!
Wow! I love this recipe roundups! How did I miss all these delicious recipes? Anyway, thanks for sharing the links. I can’t wait to try each one of these delicious recipes 😉
Favourite snack right now has to be a couple of sliced up fresh figs with chopped walnuts and some cinnamon on top. Yum!
I’m loving an apple with Earth Balance’s Coconut & Peanut Butter Spread.
Thank you for sharing!! Perfect timing, too, since I’m going on a road trip soon and have been brainstorming which snacks to bring along with me 🙂
Thanks to your peanut butter, cinnamon, honey popcorn I am now loving this combination of flavors. I have added it to my spinach smoothies in the morning. Just today I added that combination to plain almond yogurt and it’s so delicious. Almost felt more like a dessert. I just had to share.
I have made almost all of these recipes and they are DELICIOUS!! I added frozen cherries to the chocolate walnut truffles- chocolate/cherry is always a great combination, and these turned out great!
Thanks Julie 🙂
