Let’s face it, sometimes we all crave a crunchy snack, but store-bought potato chips aren’t always the healthiest option. That’s why we’ve gathered 24 delicious and nutritious recipes for you to try at home.
Soft, Chewy Granola Bars
These are nothing like the pre-packaged snack bars that you buy at the store. These Soft, Chewy Granola Bars are a little more like a bakery-style treat, yet they can be made ahead, frozen, and grabbed as you are running to the gym. Get ready for a bar packed with dried cranberries, nuts, seeds, and coconut. Get the recipe for Soft, Chewy Granola Bars.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Balls
Need a mid-day pick me up? Yearning for a bit of a treat? Look no further than these Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Balls. Peanut butter, oats, PB and chocolate. Fun to make with the kids. Get the recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Balls.
Overnight Oats & Chia
Soaking oats and chia seeds overnight with an alt milk, like almond or coconut, creates a fantastic base for all kinds of fruit, dried fruit, nuts and seed add-ins. The chia adds extra fiber, protein, iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc and are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. This recipe will keep you sated for hours. We love it for breakfast, or as a snack. Get the recipe.
Cold Brew Latte Pops With Crushed Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans
Cold brew is not just for drinking! On a hot day, when you need a pick me up in the middle of the afternoon, nothing satisfies like these coffee flavored popsicles. Crushed chocolate covered espresso beans are added for extra coffee value. Get the recipe for Cold Brew Latte Pops.
Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Breakfast Cookies
Cookies for breakfast? You bet, and we actually have several breakfast cookie recipes for you – and every single one make a fantastic take-along snack. This one is based on fiber-rich oats, canned pumpkin, and sweet/tart dried cranberries. The pumpkin seeds add color and crunch. Get the recipe for Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Breakfast Cookies.
Birthday Cake Bliss Balls
Energy Bites, Bliss Balls, whatever you call them, these no-bake treats are easy and fun to make. Kids learn how to read a recipe, measure ingredients, and get to use their hands and “play” with their food. And Rainbow sprinkles make everyone happy! Get the recipe for Birthday Cake Bliss Balls.
High Protein Peanut Butter Muffins
These muffins contain peanut butter, banana, eggs, chia, hemp, flax seed, oats, and no additional fat! See the Tips at the end of the recipe for a vegan option. Also, these are one of those recipes that are “ugly”, but good. Not much to look at, but very tasty; don’t overlook them! Make a big batch and put them in a zip-top bag in the freezer after cooling; that way you can grab one as needed. Get the recipe for High Protein Peanut Butter Muffins.
Loaded Kale Chips
Kale chips are a great snack but can be quite pricey at the store. We show you how to make them at home – and this version is loaded with flavor. Get the recipe for Loaded Kale Chips.
Homemade Chex Mix

Muddy Buddies aka Puppy Chow
Before anyone writes us, we know that chocolate is not okay for dogs. And, this recipe is for humans, not dogs. It is a chocolaty cereal snack affectionately known as “Puppy Chow”, because it sort of looks like dog food. Anyway, human’s love it. Looking for something chocolatey and crunchy and sweet? This is your treat. Get the recipe for Muddy Buddies aka Puppy Chow.
Cranberry White Chocolate Energy Balls
Sweet/tart chewy dried cranberries and bits of white chocolate are nestled within a fiber-rich oat base. Peanut butter holds everything together. You could use maple syrup to sweeten, but we like rice syrup, which is low FODMAP and not as sweet. Get the Cranberry White Chocolate Energy Balls recipe.
PB&J Cream Cheese Brownies
We took our classic Cream Cheese Brownie recipe and added peanut butter to the cheesecake batter and swirled in strawberry jam. Rich, easier to make than they look, freeze well, and always a crowd pleaser. Click here for the PB&J Cream Cheese Brownies recipe.
Low FODMAP Mocha Espresso Power Balls
Whether you call them energy balls, bliss balls or power balls, these treats are easy to make treats that you can take along on the go.

Get the Low FODMAP Mocha Espresso Power Balls recipe.
Chunky Rice Krispie Treats
These are an ode to the Chunky candy bar, that combines chocolate, peanuts and raisins. Here we have combined these ingredients, in low FODMAP portions, with Rice Krispies, peanut butter, maple syrup and coconut oil and made a decadent snack! Sort of fancy, kind of homestyle at the same time, and easy to make! (The original candy bar features milk chocolate; I chose to use dark, but you can use milk). Click here for the Chunky Rice Krispie Treats recipe.
Trail Mix Energy Balls
Nuts, “granola” ingredients and chocolate candies, all the ingredients of trail mix, in a convenient to carry ball form. Pop a couple in your mouth for a burst of energy. Get the recipe for Trail Mix Energy Balls.
One-Bowl Peanut Butter Cookies
These gluten-free One-Bowl Peanut Butter Cookies call for 3-ingredients and I once made them on live TV in 17 seconds. Peanut butter (1), sugar (2) and an egg (3) and you’ve got cookies! Click here for the One-Bowl Peanut Butter Cookies recipe.
