The coaches at Team Betty Rocker helped me round up some of our favorite healthy sweet and savory snacks from around the world wide web to share with you today!
You can expect to find a really nice variety of snack recipes in this post, and count on all of them having been reviewed by us to ensure they meet the quality standard we hold to in our own kitchens.
One note about SNACKS – I would not suggest adding “snacks” unless you have also had 3 square whole food meals that included protein, fiber-rich carbs, healthy fat and greens.
If you aren’t covering your bases, you’re going to be more likely to reach for the higher sugar, higher salt type snack foods that aren’t supporting balanced energy, and will instead just be “filler” type foods without a lot of benefit to you.
If you can think of a snack as a “small meal” that is a useful framework for these less filling, more on the go type foods. Eating between meals can be helpful if you’re going longer than you want to without your main meals, or you’re having a more highly active day (which will make you hungrier).
Choose whole food options for these small meals to really satisfy you and add more nutrients to your day, and you’ll round out the day feeling full and satisfied, rather than experiencing cravings.
These recipes are all gluten free, dairy free, are made with whole foods, do not contain processed sugars or ingredients that I don’t cook with personally.
If you visit these blogs and get the recipes, it would be so cool if you’d leave the blogger a comment to let them know you were there, and that I sent you!
I know how much it means to me when I hear from you, and these bloggers worked hard on their great recipes. Show them some love 🙂
