10 Healthy Snack Recipes That Are Easy and Delicious
A healthy snack is so much easier to make than you would probably think, and it is a much better alternative to any junk food that you are most likely to pick up whenever you’re feeling like you need to nibble on something or pick yourself up towards the end of the working day. Here are 10 very delicious and super easy healthy snack recipes to make whenever you feel like snacking but feeling great as well!
1. Apple And Cinnamon Wedges
This is probably the most simple healthy snack recipe that you can prepare for yourself and is super delicious as well. Just cut up an apple or two into slices (peel them first if you prefer), heat them in a pan after drizzling with some coconut oil on top until desired softness is achieved and use as much cinnamon to your taste. Simple as that! It literally takes less than 10 minutes and it’s a much healthier alternative than buying a packaged apple and cinnamon snack, or just nibbling on a plain apple that often doesn’t taste like much.
2. No-Bake Peanut Butter Bites
This recipe is just too good to be true. It is a gluten-free no-bake recipe for a snack that is super delicious and quick to make (only 15 minutes). All you need for it is 1 cup and 1/2 of rolled oats, half a cup of natural peanut butter and 3 tbsp of honey or maple syrup.
Blend the oats in the blender until they reach a flour consistency, then add the peanut butter and honey/maple syrup, and blend again until they form a dough consistency. Roll the made dough into little balls and they’re ready! Put some coconut oil if they stick to your hands or some more peanut butter if the dough isn’t holding okay. It’s as simple as that! Prepare ahead and bring to your office or school for a healthy snack to munch on when you feel the cravings for something filling but healthy.
