Mini Veggie Platter:
Perfect way to get those veggies in with a fun and festive platter:
​
Ingredients:
2-3 large carrots (cut)
3-4 mini peppers (cut)
crackers
hummus
​
Great way to cut down on time is pre-cut your veggies the night/day before to be used when snack time hits!
​
Happy snacking (:
Peanut Butter Toast:
One of my favorite snacks that are filling and also satisfies my sweet tooth cravings.
​
Ingredients:
1 piece of Ezekiel bread (toasted)
1-2 tbsp peanut butter
1/2 banana sliced
sprinkle of cinnamon
​
I love using Ezekiel bread because all of the ingredients can be pronounces, the ingredient list is low, and because it's kept refrigerated it lasts a lot longer!
​
Happy snacking (:


Cinnamon & Sugar Chickpeas
This is a great high protein snack option that can be used multiple ways! Great to eat on their own, on ice cream, any type of warm dessert!
​
Ingredients:
2 cans of garbanzo beans
2 tbsp. olive oil
4 tbsp. dark brown sugar
2 tbsp. cinnamon
​
Let's Get Cooking:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or any type of non-stick mat
​
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
​
3. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Once dry remove the skin (or keep on but the skin removed makes a crispier chickpea). Pat all of the chickpeas dry making sure there is little to no moisture.
​
4. Cook the chickpeas alone for 15 minutes.
​
5. While cooking combine olive oil, sugar, and cinnamon mixture together.
​
6. Remove from oven after 15 minutes and add the cinnamon, sugar, and olive oil mixture.
​
7. Place back into oven for another 15 minutes. Once cooked let them cool off before placing into a container.
Pumpkin Energy Balls
If you're a pumpkin lover this one is for YOU! Great snack when you're on the go and need to grab something quick.
​
Ingredients:
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup blended oats
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup nut butter (or peanut butter)
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup chia and flax seeds
2 tbsp. pumpkin spice
​
Let's Get Cooking:
1. Combine all dry ingredients (oats, chia, and pumpkin spice)
​
2. Add in wet ingredients (pumpkin puree, nut butter, honey)
​
3. Once all combined add in chocolate chips and store in fridge for 20 minutes
​
4. Roll into balls and store in fridge
​
*not pumpkin puree does make them softer than the peanut butter energy balls - but once stored longer they will harden*
