Whether you want to recreate the fruit snacks of your childhood or try your hand at homemade crackers, these recipes have you covered. Snacks like our Black Bean Hummus and Baked Broccoli-Cheddar Quinoa Bites are tasty, low-calorie ways to stay fueled all day long. 01 of 25 Roasted Butternut Squash Seeds View Recipe Save Caitlin Bensel Don't throw away your butternut squash seeds; roast them instead! Roasted butternut squash seeds make a great snack or salad topper. Enjoy them plain or jazzed up with one of the variations below. This recipe can be doubled or tripled depending on how many seeds you have, and you can also use this basic recipe for other types of squash seeds, such as acorn. 02 of 25 Black Bean Hummus View Recipe Save Casey Barber For a slightly Southwestern spin on hummus, swap in black beans for the traditional chickpeas. It's just as fiber-rich and filling, but with a taste that pairs well with tortilla chips and crisp bell peppers. 03 of 25 Baked Broccoli-Cheddar Quinoa Bites View Recipe Save Photography / Fred Hardy, Styling / Jennifer Wendorf / Kay Clarke These savory muffin-like quinoa bites are low in carbs and a good source of protein--plus we love their cheesy flavor. 04 of 25 Mango Fruit Leather View Recipe Save This no-sugar-added fruit snack is a healthy treat kids and adults will both love. It's perfect for packing in a lunchbox for school or work or just enjoying as a snack or better-for-you dessert at home. 05 of 25 Easy Scallion-Salmon Dip View Recipe Save Inspired by the classic combination of smoked salmon and cream cheese, this spread is perfect for slathering on a bagel or serving as a dip with bagel chips. This salmon dip recipe is a great way to use up leftovers from Miso-Maple Salmon (see Associated Recipes). 06 of 25 Mango-Date Energy Bites View Recipe Save Sweet, sticky dates act as the glue for these no-cook energy balls. Perfect for hikes or during sports, this healthy snack travels well. 07 of 25 Savory Date & Pistachio Bites View Recipe Save A touch of sweetness from the dates and raisins paired with crunch and nuttiness from the pistachios make these bites perfect for an on-the-go snack or as an accompaniment on a cheese board. 08 of 25 Flourless Banana Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins View Recipe Save Pulsing rolled oats with eggs, banana, brown sugar and oil creates the moist dough of these chocolaty muffins without a bit of all-purpose flour. These are two-bite muffins with a dense and gooey texture. They're delicately sweet and rich, too, so baking them as mini muffins makes them a perfect snack or quick morning bite. 09 of 25 Homemade Multi-Seed Crackers View Recipe Save Turn leftover brown rice and quinoa from dinner or meal-prepping into these delicious crispy crackers that are loaded with three good-for-you seeds--and create an everything-bagel flavor, without the bagel. The whole grains that make up this copycat cracker recipe add lots of fiber for a healthy snack that pairs perfectly with hummus or cheese. 10 of 25 Strawberry-Chocolate Greek Yogurt Bark View Recipe Save Lightly sweetened Greek yogurt gets studded with fresh strawberries and chocolate chips then frozen so you can break it into chunks just like chocolate bark (but healthier!). This colorful snack or healthy dessert is perfect for kids and adults alike. Use full-fat yogurt to ensure the creamiest bark possible. 11 of 25 Peanut Butter-Oat Energy Balls View Recipe Save Sweet, sticky dates act as the glue for these no-bake energy balls. Perfect for hikes or during sports, this healthy snack travels well. For the best flavor and texture, use Medjool dates--the largest and most luscious date variety. Look for them in the produce department or near other dried fruits. 12 of 25 Oven-Fried Pickles View Recipe Save These oven-fried pickles get their crispy exterior from a dredge in flour, egg and whole-wheat breadcrumbs. Serve with a creamy herbed sour cream to take this easy app to the next level. 13 of 25 Carrot Cake Energy Bites View Recipe Save These no-cook energy bites keep well in the fridge or freezer and are easy to grab on the go for a healthy snack. 14 of 25 Turmeric-Ginger Tahini Dip View Recipe Save Flavored with turmeric, ginger and garlic, this tahini dip recipe is perfect for dipping vegetables or topping your next falafel. 15 of 25 Brussels Sprout Chips If you like kale chips you're going to love these Brussels sprout chips. This 4-ingredient recipe crisps up the outer leaves of Brussels sprouts in the oven in just 10 minutes for a healthy snack. But don't throw out the sprout innards--they're great for roasting as a side for dinner. 16 of 25 Jalapeño & Dill Labneh In this labneh dip recipe, we stir in a little hot pepper and herbs for a delicious kick. Labneh is a thick, slightly salty Middle Eastern strained yogurt that's easy to make at home. Serve the dip with cucumber slices or pita chips, or use it to top roasted carrots. 17 of 25 Caprese Skewers View Recipe Save Photographer / Jen Causey, Food Stylist / Emily Nabors Hall We take all the ingredients of a classic caprese salad and layer them onto skewers for a quick appetizer. These tomato-mozzarella-basil skewers are easy to assemble and perfect for a party. 18 of 25 Salt & Vinegar Pumpkin Seeds View Recipe Save Salt-and-vinegar seasoning isn't just for chips. These roasted pumpkin seeds tossed with salt and vinegar are a briny, crunchy treat. Soaking the seeds in vinegar ensures that the deep vinegary flavor remains after baking. 19 of 25 Mini Frozen Yogurt Parfaits View Recipe Save Johnny Autry These mini yogurt parfaits are the perfect sweet treat. You can use raspberries, blueberries or strawberries in these bite-size parfaits. 20 of 25 Mushroom Jerky View Recipe Save This vegan version of beef jerky has the same level of smoky spice you'd expect from the real thing. It can be enjoyed as a snack or on top of a salad for a jolt of meaty, umami goodness. It's also a great snack to take camping! The mushrooms stay pretty chewy (no crunch except for some of the crispy ends); this method is a great option if you don't have a dehydrator. 21 of 25 Apricot-Ginger Energy Balls View Recipe Save This easy energy ball uses natural ingredients to give you a quick bite of energy when you need it. Dried apricots and honey hold together the coconut and oats, while ginger and tahini deepen the sweet flavors. Ready in just 25 minutes, you can have these as a grab-and-go breakfast, afternoon snack or sweet treat after dinner. 22 of 25 Cherry-Cocoa-Pistachio Energy Balls View Recipe Save Minced dried cherries and pistachios make these energy balls a salty-sweet snack to satisfy all your cravings. Almond butter and cocoa add substance and chocolaty appeal. Serve any time of day as a snack or dessert, or pack them for a hike. 23 of 25 Pineapple & Cucumber Salad View Recipe Save Enjoy this sweet, refreshing salad alongside grilled meat or fish to cut through the richness and refresh the palate. If you like a little heat, adding jalapeño will give you the kick you crave. While packs of prechopped pineapple are convenient, they're almost always more expensive. When pineapple is in season, it's best to buy fresh and chop it yourself. Look for a pineapple with a golden-yellow exterior, which is a good indicator of ripeness. 24 of 25 Cucumber Salsa View Recipe Save This fresh, tangy cucumber salsa is perfect for grilled fish or on its own as a simple side salad. Well balanced and easy to make, the flavor mellows and the cucumber softens as this sits, so it can easily be made a day or two ahead of time--or enjoy it right away, fresh and crisp. 25 of 25 Zucchini Pizza Bites View Recipe Save Think of these zucchini pizza bites as a fun gluten-free alternative to bagel bites. Be sure not to overcook the zucchini or the bites may become soggy. We like the classic pepperoni topping, but feel free to experiment with your own favorites.
