Taking inspiration from the flavors of Cherry Garcia, these chocolate-cherry date energy balls are a delicious tribute to the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor named after the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia. Topped with dark chocolate chips and dried cherries, they’re not only delicious, but they also contain polyphenols, a nutrient found in cherries that can help suppress inflammation.
Crispy Roasted Chickpeas
Try this satisfying snack instead of nuts. Delicious legumes are low in calories and packed with fiber.

Tossing the almonds in the whipped egg whites helps the sweet and savory spice stick to these festive almond snickerdoodles. They make a great appetizer for holiday entertaining.
Apple and Peanut Butter Energy Balls

These energy balls marry two of fall’s best flavors: apples and pumpkin pie spice. You can replace the applesauce with apple butter for a stronger apple flavor. Don’t confuse dried apples with apple crisps! The apple chips have a crisp texture that will make the energy balls very crunchy. If your apple mixture is too sticky and difficult to roll, lightly coat your hands with cooking spray or simply refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes before rolling.
High Fiber Guacamole Snack Jar

A healthy and delicious snack is never far away when you stack red bell pepper strips, pepper jack cheese, and guacamole in a jar. Swap the Pepper Jack for regular Jack or Cheddar cheese to tone down the heat. To amp up this snack, add pretzels, crackers, or tortilla chips together.
Kale Fries

Not a fan of kale? These Roasted Kale Fries will convert you! For best results, do not overcrowd baking pans.
Rosemary-Garlic Ice
These delicious spiced nuts are perfect to eat, add to a cheese plate or serve as a mini appetizer.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Energy Bars
Dates provide all the sweetness you need for these no-bake energy bars. Each square serves up a big dose of protein—thanks to the peanut butter and peanuts—as well as fiber from the rolled oats. Kids will love the crunchy nutty chewy bites.
Cottage cheese snack jar

This creamy and crunchy snack packs 20 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber into a small mason jar. Adding the chickpeas right before serving will keep them crunchy. If you want to store everything in a jar, choose 1/4 cup rinsed canned chickpeas.
Jonathan Perno’s Spiced Candied Pecans
At home or at Campo, the restaurant he oversees at Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm in Albuquerque, chef Jonathan Perno likes to welcome guests with spicy New Mexican flavors. You won’t see this in most spicy walnut recipes, but Perno blanchs them to reduce some of the bitter tannins in the skins that can sometimes overpower the subtle flavor of the nuts.
Everything-Crispy Chickpeas Bagel
Fresh, salty and packed with everything good, these crunchy chickpeas are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed on their own or tossed into a salad for more preparation. Removing the skins from the chickpeas helps achieve a better sharpness. Look for “everything bagel seasoning” in the condiment aisle; it is now available in most supermarkets.
Apples with Cinnamon Almond Butter
With a pinch of cinnamon, this healthy snack goes from basic to brilliant.
Blueberry-Pecan Energy Balls
Dried cranberries and pecans combine with cocoa for a chocolate treat any time of day. The cocoa is a bit more bitter than the chocolate, but the maple syrup helps to soften it. Almond butter and chia seeds provide protein to make these bites important foods to nourish your body.
Strawberries and cottage cheese
This snack mixes a serving of dairy with a serving of fresh fruit and provides a boost of vitamin C and calcium for your day.
Bell Pepper Guacamole
Ditch the tortilla chips and get a healthy dose of vitamin C when you use bell peppers as a dip for guacamole in this quick snack recipe.
