Tasty and healthy, these snacks can help you meet your nutritional needs. Ingredients like Greek yogurt, raspberries, chickpeas and garlic are both gut-healthy and anti-inflammatory foods. This means these snacks can help aid in healthy digestion as well as relieve symptoms of inflammation such as joint stiffness, mental fog and high blood pressure. Recipes like our Purple Fruit Salad and Cottage Cheese with Raspberry Honey are ideal for a midday pick-me-up.

These stuffed dates can be an easy dessert or snack when you’re craving something sweet. We love the mild flavor of almond butter, but natural peanut butter would be a nice substitute. A flaky sea salt like Maldon elevates the flavour. Be sure to sprinkle the salt over the dates before the chocolate has set.



Garlic Hummus


This garlic hummus recipe couldn’t be easier—just toss a few ingredients in the food processor and whir away!



Fruit & Yogurt Smoothie


This easy fruit smoothie recipe calls for just three ingredients: yogurt, fruit juice and frozen fruit. Mix up your fruit combinations from day to day for a healthy breakfast or snack that never gets boring.



Yogurt with Blueberries & Honey


A simple combination of Greek-style yogurt and blueberries gets an extra touch of sweetness from golden honey. It’s the perfect balance of protein and fiber to keep you energized.



Roasted Garlic Hummus


Casey Barber

Two entire heads of garlic might seem like an awful lot to add to a bowl of dip, but don’t be afraid. When roasted, the pungent cloves mellow out for a rich but not too overpowering hummus.



Pecan Butter & Pear Toast


Ted & Chelsea Cavanaugh

For a quick breakfast or snack, try this three-ingredient toast. Pecan butter adds a nutty flavor, which is balanced by the natural sweetness of the pear.

These crustless mini quiches are packed with savory caramelized onions and flavorful cheese. This technique for making caramelized onions uses way less fat, and by using sweet onions (like Vidalia, if you can find them), you don’t need to add the sugar some recipes call for.



Banana Energy Bites


Perfect for an on-the-go breakfast or snack, these bites of energy will keep you fueled.



Watermelon with Lime


A hit of lime zest and crunchy salt flakes on ripe watermelon is an addictive, salty-sweet way to enjoy a refreshing and hydrating snack. Pair it with some pistachios for a protein boost.



Chickpea & Kale Toast
