1) Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites
These energy bites are made with wholesome ingredients to put pep in your step and a smile on your face. They’re rich and fudgy, and chocolatey good!
I’m in love with this simple creation…and my kids flip for it, too. Just like the name describes, it tastes like peanut butter–coconut cookie dough, but has a thinner, dip-like consistency.
It’s perfect for after-school snacks, a pre-sport energy boost, or slumber parties. Serve it with apples, bananas, or strawberries for delicious dunking.
This frozen, fruity bark is a fun spin on strawberry shortcake. The base is made from protein-rich Greek yogurt, and it’s topped with sliced strawberries and a sprinkle of crumbled graham cracker.
If your snack cravings gravitate towards chilled, sweet, and creamy, this tasty bark has got you covered!
You (and your kids) will go bananas for these chocolate chip muffins! They’re soft, fluffy, and filled with sweet banana goodness plus melty chocolate in every bite.
They’re easy to whip up, customizable with mix-ins, and simple to make allergy-free.
If you love hummus, you’ll want to try this umami twist! It swaps chickpeas for edamame (young green soybeans), giving it a vibrant color and a boost of protein and fiber. Edamame also delivers plant-based omega-3s, while soy sauce and rice vinegar add a subtle Asian-inspired flavor.
Serve it as a dip with crisp veggies, tortilla chips, or whole grain crackers.
Trail mix is a perfect anytime snack — breakfast on-the-go, a midday munchie, or movie night treat. The beauty is its flexibility: combine nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or whatever’s in your pantry (or on sale!).
You can whip up a giant batch for the family or a single-serve stash just for you.
This is the ultimate almond upgrade. With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll transform ordinary almonds into extraordinary almonds.
