How to make healthy snacks yourself?

Healthy snacking doesn’t have to be complicated at all, and making your own healthy snacks can be incredibly satisfying. The internet is a true treasure trove of healthy recipes, but to make it easier for you, we’d like to share some tips for healthy snacks you can make yourself.

You don’t need to be a kitchen wizard or have complicated ingredients and special equipment at home to easily make tasty and healthy snacks yourself. And bet you’ll enjoy them even more because you made them yourself?!

Quick and easy savory ideas

How about a simple hard-boiled egg to give you a boost when you’re feeling a bit low? Eggs are packed with proteins that keep you feeling full for a long time and contain many essential minerals and vitamins.

Do you often crave something savory and want to raid the chip machine? Try homemade popcorn seasoned with curry powder, chili powder, or salt with Provençal herbs. Just pop your corn kernels in a pot with a tiny bit of olive oil. This way, you can customize your own popcorn with the herbs of your choice to discover new flavor sensations every time! Experiment away!

Have you ever thought of a homemade, heartwarming bowl of vegetable soup as a snack? A bowl of soup gives you a win-win-win situation. You work on your daily fluid intake, get extra vegetables, and satisfy your hunger! You can also pimp your bowl of soup with some dry roasted seeds and nuts (for example, pine nuts and sunflower seeds go wonderfully in soup). Need a bit more energy? Then you can crumble a small amount of feta cheese into your soup.

For the sweet tooth

Try making your own granola! You can add it to a (plant-based) yogurt during a hunger moment. Add some berries and you’re good to go!

You can store your granola in an airtight jar for quite a while. This way, you can enjoy several snack moments from one small effort. And you can endlessly vary the seeds, nuts, and spices.

How about homemade oatmeal cookies with dried cranberries? In just 30 minutes, you can make 10 cookies and enjoy a healthy break for a long time. Or, of course, you can share them with your (home office) colleagues. You can find the recipe for Sandra Bekkari’s version here.

Or try homemade chia seed balls that provide you with lots of protein and a long-lasting feeling of fullness. You can make them in just 15 minutes and keep them in the fridge until your next snack moment. Just follow the easy recipe and you’re all set.

As you can see, it’s not difficult at all to make healthy snacks yourself with pure ingredients. That way, you know exactly what you’re eating!
