The Ultimate Healthy Snack Recipes Roundup

1 December, 2014 by Giselle Rochford 28 Comments

Hey Friends! How’s it goin?

First of all, I need to mention how much I love the fact that you guys love snarky/sleep deprived Giselle. Glad to know I’m not the only one who gets ticked off by the crazy things people sometimes say to those of us who work out and/or eat healthy. Now, onto today’s post and the healthy snack roundup I’ve got for ya! 

With exam time coming up, student's need healthy snack food to grab and go. There are 26 Snack Recipes to get you started via @ExSloth | ExSloth.com

It’s exam time again which means it’s I’m either thinking about studying, planning my study schedule, napping because I can’t face all the studying I have to do studying or eating. One thing I almost never have time to do though, is cook. In the past, I would have just slipped back into less than healthy eating patterns come December, but these days I try to take my own advice and stock up on some key ingredients for healthy snacking and batch cook some healthy foods and snacks before I get too busy. 

So this weekend I went looking for inspiration and here are some of the best of the best that I found:

    Hey thanks for doing all this research and roundup for me! Some of these would be great in a Christmas tin and given as gifts – much better than just non-healthy sweets!

    Ohhh you don’t want to know what I eat when I’m working! I eat the worst things when I’m busy and stressed. I really need to start making healthysnacks like these for myself.

    Ohhh the study munchies. I wouldn’t have made it through school without my snacks… and coffee… -definitely- coffee. I’m a huge fan of snacking on homemade granola or trail mix when I’m working on a project, and it’s gotta involve lots of dried fruit and chocolate. Other than that, crunchy veggies with hummus are a big love, as are smoothies. Anything quick and easy!

    I am always looking for healthy snack recipes because due to nut allergies, I really can’t eat many of the healthier packaged snacks. There are so many great ideas in this list though!
