11 Healthy Snacks To Make This Week (Sweet & Savory)
RACHEL MORROW
It’s not a great feeling to be stuck without a snack on hand, especially one that’s tasty and healthy instead of the storebought alternatives! This week, spend some time in the kitchen making some of the best weekly snacks you can turn to when you’re on the go, or just wanting a taste of home.
Sweet or savory, I’ve got you covered with these 11 healthy snacks to make this week.
1. Cookie Dough Bon Bons
Time and time again, these will be my favorite. They taste just like eating cookie dough from the bowl, but they’re packed with the power of chickpeas.
2. Quinoa, Mushroom & Spinach Frittatas
If it’s breakfast on the run or a mid-morning pick-me-up, these frittatas are great for adults and kids alike. They’re nutritious and you can adapt the recipe to use your favorite flavors.
3. Vegan Banana Bread
Banana bread is the unsung hero of the baking world, but it’s hard to find a vegan recipe that really sticks. Even if you aren’t plant-based, this version could be enough to convert you.
4. Zucchini Breakfast Loaf
If you’ve ever tried to cut bread out of your diet, you’ll know how sad it is to say goodbye to morning toast. But this veggie-packed breakfast loaf is even better! You won’t miss the grains.
7. Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are a must on any baking schedule, and these are truly something to look forward to. Just remember to make enough to share...
6. Gluten-Free Cauliflower Bhaji
When I’m craving a snack that’s a little bit comforting, but easy on the stomach, I throw together this cauliflower bhaji. The Indian-inspired recipe is perfect to have on hand when you’re peckish.
7. Raspberry Chia Jelly Slice
This slice is what dreams are made of. Getting creative with some of the best wholefood ingredients means that we get to enjoy the most exquisite treat - just try not to eat it all at once.
8. Gluten-Free Turmeric Seeded Loaf
It looks like something only professionals could pull off, but this loaf couldn’t be more simple if it tried. It’s naturally gluten-free and packed with anti-inflammatory turmeric for an extra boost.
9. Dairy-Free Mango Cheesecake
This cheesecake lasts me all summer long, but that’s not to say you can’t enjoy it any time of year. The best part is it freezes beautifully, so you can pull out a slice whenever you feel like it.
10. Spiced Beetroot Hummus
I no longer have time for storebought hummus, especially when the homemade version tastes this good! It comes together so easily, without the additives, and it tastes as authentic as it gets.
11. Raw Pecan Chocolate Caramel Slice
Have I saved the best recipe until last? Quite possibly! This raw chocolate caramel slice is only made better by the addition of pecans… I’m quite literally salivating at the thought.
Happy baking!
