Allen, Props: Christina Brockman, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf These delicious snack recipes are some of our best! With five-star reviews from our readers, you won’t want to miss out on these tasty recipes. They also have at least 3 grams of fiber per serving, which can support effective digestion, healthy weight maintenance and so much more. Try options like our Carrot Cake-Inspired Loaf Bread or Pumpkin Spice Energy Balls for a healthy fiber-rich bite to keep you satisfied between meals. 01 of 21 Carrot Cake-Inspired Loaf Bread Photographer: Stacy K. Allen, Props: Christina Brockman, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf Protein in this carrot cake–inspired loaf comes from cashew butter and Greek-style yogurt, which also helps keep it moist and tender. Carrots, nuts and raisins provide texture and flavor, while applesauce adds a subtle sweetness. Use regular or golden raisins or any combination of small or chopped dried fruit. Pecans or even chopped hazelnuts can be used in place of the walnuts. View Recipe 02 of 21 Lemon, Mint & White Bean Dip EatingWell This quick, healthy dip is an easy appetizer or snack. If you don't have cannellini beans, chickpeas work just as well. Serve this tasty dip alongside veggies, crackers, pita or pretzels. View Recipe 03 of 21 Pumpkin Spice Energy Balls Photographer: Robby Lozano, Food Stylist: Catherine Jessee, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle These pumpkin pie spice energy balls are everything you could want in a snack: classic pumpkin spice flavor with a satisfyingly chewy texture with bits of crunch from seeds and nuts throughout. It's worth seeking out cashew or almond butter to make these—they have a more neutral flavor that lets the spices and pumpkin shine, but any nut butter will work. View Recipe 04 of 21 Cottage Cheese Snack Jar Photographer: Rachel Marek, Food Stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop Stylist: Gabriel Greco This creamy, crunchy snack packs 20 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber in one small Mason jar. Adding the chickpeas right before serving will keep them crunchy. If you want to store everything in one jar, opt for 1/4 cup rinsed canned chickpeas instead. View Recipe 05 of 21 Raspberry-Jam Bites Sara Baurley It doesn't get easier, or more delicious, than this simple, three-ingredient snack. Chia seeds and raspberries add fiber to these healthy frozen bites. Chocolate provides a touch of sweetness to balance the tartness of the berries. View Recipe 06 of 21 English Muffin Pizza with Tomato & Olives Ted & Chelsea Cavanaugh This pizza-inspired English muffin topped with tomato, cheese, olives and oregano does triple duty—it's great as a snack or as part of a delicious breakfast or lunch. View Recipe 07 of 21 Pesto & White Bean Stuffed Tomato Ted & Chelsea Cavanaugh This simple 3-ingredient recipe is perfect for a light lunch or snack. Showcasing the midsummer flavors of fresh tomatoes and pesto, this recipe is delicious, nutritious and ready in just five minutes. View Recipe 08 of 21 Pineapple Spinach Smoothie Eva Kolenko Use juice rather than added sugar, such as honey or maple syrup, to balance the bitter taste of greens and suddenly you have a serving of vegetables that tastes like dessert. Of course, you can use any juice without added sugar, including apple or orange, for example. But the relaxing-poolside flavor of pineapple combined with the ready-to-go convenience of the small, shelf-stable cans makes this our fave. View Recipe 09 of 21 Caramel Delight Energy Balls Think of these easy no-bake cookies as a healthy makeover of one of our favorite Girl Scout Cookies—chewy caramel, dark chocolate and toasted coconut come together with fiber-boosting oats instead of sugar and flour. And the best part? They take only 15 minutes from start to finish. View Recipe 10 of 21 Whole-Wheat Strawberry Muffins This healthy muffin recipe features strawberries, but you can use your favorite berry in their place. Recipe adapted from the Massachusetts Farm to School program. View Recipe 11 of 21 Date-Nut Bread Dates are naturally sweet so no extra sugar is needed in this quick-bread recipe. Toasted almonds add a nice crunch and the optional coarse sugar topping—while it isn't needed for sweetness—certainly adds to the presentation. View Recipe 12 of 21 Apple Spice Muffins Think of crème fraîche as sour cream's richer, thicker, less-sour sibling. In this healthy muffin recipe, it's the secret ingredient that gives these muffins a light texture and rich flavor. The batter is made with extra spices and tons of sweet fruit, which means you won't notice the minimal amount of white sugar. View Recipe 13 of 21 Chocolate-Peppermint Energy Balls These festive no-cook energy balls have all the flavors you love in peppermint-chocolate bark but in healthy snack form. Whip up a batch for an office or after-school treat, or take them along to a holiday cookie swap. The recipe is easily doubled or even tripled. Be sure to store the bites at room temperature rather than in the refrigerator—the moisture from the fridge will melt the candy cane coating. View Recipe 14 of 21 Tequila Guacamole Margarita lovers will go crazy for this twist on classic guacamole. Spiking your guacamole with tequila adds an extra layer of flavor and blends deliciously with the fresh lime juice and jalapeño. This guacamole is for grown-ups only, but you can omit the tequila if you're serving to kids. View Recipe 15 of 21 Pumpkin Seeds with Everything Bagel Seasoning Everything bagel spices give these roasted pumpkin seeds an extra hit of flavor that's delicious any time of day. View Recipe 16 of 21 Pressure-Cooker Hummus Cooking chickpeas from scratch is the best way to make your own hummus, but it can take hours to soak and cook them yourself. Enter the pressure cooker. Even without an overnight soak, your beans can be done in less than an hour, making this the ultimate last-minute appetizer option. View Recipe 17 of 21 Air-Fryer Kale Chips Homemade kale chips are incredibly easy to make. Thanks to the air fryer, fresh kale leaves turn extra crispy in under 15 minutes with much less fat than some store-bought options. Warning: These will go fast!
