Berry “Scuffins”
What do you get when you cross a scone with a muffin? A scuffin, of course! These are easy to make and especially delightful during berry season! Whether you use fresh, frozen or (if you’re very lucky) berries from your own garden, you’re getting plenty of antioxidants with each bite!
Roasted Balsamic Basil Tomatoes
It’s almost as if these three ingredients were made for each other: tomatoes, basil, and balsamic vinegar. They complement each other so well that the roasted result can be enjoyed as a warm snack by itself or spread on whole-grain bread, homemade crackers, or avocado toast.
Sweet Potato Pie Mousse
What’s neat about whole plant-based foods is that they can be creatively made into just about any dessert you can imagine, having the same flavor (or better!) along with all of the nutrition. The Sweet Potato Pie Mousse is no exception. Sweet potatoes, dates, and coconut milk come together to make a lightly sweet, whipped mousse with some autumn spice that will make you, your friends, and your family swoon. Double the recipe to make a sweet potato pie filling!
Sesame Sunflower Chia Bites
These bite-sized snacks might be small but they’re mighty! Sesame seeds are jam-packed with calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Sunflower seeds are full of vitamin E. Not only are chia seeds one of the best sources of calcium, but they’re also high in omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, the balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber in each bite makes for a sustainable, energizing snack!
Easy Homemade Cashew Yogurt
While a little patience might be required when making your own yogurt, it’s definitely worth the wait! Probiotic-rich yogurt is one delicious ingredient for a healthy gut. Research shows that a healthy gut can contribute to both optimal physical and mental health. And, since cashews have a decent amount of plant-based fat, they create that creamy mouthfeel of traditional plant-based yogurts.
Instant Pot Organic Soy Yogurt
Pull that Instant Pot to the front of your counter and get ready to have some fun! Making your own yogurt from either store-bought or probiotic capsules takes only minutes of your time then you simply patiently wait while the Instant Pot works its magic. The result? A perfectly tangy plant-based, probiotic-rich homemade yogurt!
Oatmeal Chickpea No-Bake Cookie Dough
Is it dessert? Or is it a snack? Can it be breakfast? It can be all of the above! Chickpeas magically create a sweet treat that can be enjoyed as dessert, or you can use the minimum amount of sugar and omit the chocolate chips to create a delicious breakfast (although we can’t blame you if you include fair trade dark chocolate chips as a part of a healthy breakfast). Any way you love it, you’re getting lots of plant-based goodness through the fiber- and protein-rich chickpeas, oats, and almond butter!
Crunchy Candied Walnuts
Whether you’re looking for a sweet and crunchy snack, a little sweet to balance out the acid in your salad, or a tasty topping for your morning smoothie bowl, this omega-3 rich nut coated in spices and a touch of maple will do the trick! There are so many ways to use this snack as a complement to a variety of recipes — let us know how you choose to enjoy them below!
Sesame Coated Almonds
Crunchy snack-lovers, we get you and we got you. Transform soft raw almonds into crunchy snacking delights by roasting or, if you’re lucky enough to have a dehydrator, dehydrating them until crispy. Sesame seeds add even more fun crunch, as well as calcium, to an already calcium-rich (almonds!) snack.
