SNACK IDEA #1: FRESH MILLED CRACKERS
Having healthy, wholesome snacks is a priority in my kitchen. These whole-grain crackers are by far one of my favorite healthy snacks! If you’re looking for a way to get whole grains into your kids, this is it!
The great thing about this cracker recipe is that you can make a variety of flavors! Add parmesan cheese for cheesy crackers or Italian seasoning for a nice twist!
SNACK IDEA #2: SOURDOUGH APPLE PIE MUFFINS
Of all of my healthy snack recipes, muffins always top the list! My personal favorite muffin recipe is my sourdough apple pie muffins!
I like to add a little bit of millet to my muffins for a crunch and added protein! The whole wheat flour is a good source of nutrients as well.
SHOP MY FAVORITE KITCHEN ITEMS
This is a list of products I use to make my favorite snacks!
For milling my wheat berries, I use the NUTRIMILL HARVEST GRAIN MILL
For scooping muffin batter and cookie batter, I use these COOKIE SCOOPS
My favorite food processor is the CUISINART FOOD PROCESSOR
If you need a stand mixer, I can’t recommend the NUTRIMILL ARTISTE enough!
For making muffins, I use the USA MUFFIN PAN
SNACK IDEA #3: NO BAKE DATE BARS
Ever have those bars from the grocery store made with dates? Just a few basic ingredients and the good news is they are NO BAKE and have no added sugar! You can choose to make them with medjool dates or deglet noor.
If you have a sweet tooth, these bars will be a good option and are also a high-protein snack so they will hold you over until your next meal.
You can substitute the cocoa powder with cacao powder if you want, as well. If you don’t want to use peanuts, just add your favorite nuts! One of my favorite options is almonds.
SNACK IDEA #4: HOMEMADE GRANOLA
One snack that I keep on hand at all times is Granola! You will find this basic granola recipe easy to make with wholesome ingredients.
Serve this crunchy snack over Greek yogurt or cottage cheese for afternoon snack time!
Consider adding sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds to up the protein. Homemade granola is far superior to store-bought trail mix!
SNACK IDEA #5: SOURDOUGH BREAKFAST BARS
You will love these sourdough breakfast bars! Made with sourdough starter, eggs, oats, and chocolate chips, these are sure to be a go-to in your kitchen!
I love that these are high protein bars are a tasty breakfast but also are great options for a snack! Plus, they are perfect for picky eaters!
SNACK IDEA #6: SOURDOUGH PRETZELS
These sourdough pretzels are made with fresh milled flour and are the perfect grab and go snack! I love dipping them in honey mustard!
You will love that these pretzels are a good way to sneak whole grains into a delicious snack.
SNACK IDEA #7: SOURDOUGH OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
Who doesn’t love an oatmeal raisin cookie? I mean they have everything, ha ha! You will love that they are made with sourdough for that classic tang and are the perfect sweet snacks with a glass of milk.
I make these cookies with olive oil for some healthy fats!
SNACK IDEA #8: SOURDOUGH TORTILLA CHIPS
Talk about a fun snack! You can dip these chips in salsa or sour cream for the perfect afternoon treat!
I love that these tortilla chips are baked for a healthy choice and are made with fresh milled flour. Corn tortillas from the store often have seed oils and gmo’s unfortunately, so these make a much better choice.
