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 AND SUGAR CHICKPEAS.JPG

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*
