Healthy Snack Ideas
Let’s talk snacks!
I am a firm believer in snacks! Snacking can get a bad rep but if you are choosing healthy options, snacking can be a crucial part in a healthy lifestyle!
Puppy Chow
Puppy Chow is my absolute favorite holiday sweet treat! The crunchy, chocolate, peanut buttery goodness I crave! Have you ever had it? It’s the perfect party snack. I like to upgrade the ingredients to make it as “healthy” as possible! 😉
Puppy Chow Recipe Notes:
- The darker the chocolate you use, the less sugar it will have. I like these.
- Be sure to use natural peanut butter. ingredients should only contain peanuts and maybe some salt.
- This freezes great so keep it in the freezer and pull out when desired.
- Look for an organic powdered sugar that uses tapioca starch instead of cornstarch and is made with real cane sugar.
- This recipe is gluten free. To make it dairy free, use coconut oil instead of butter.
- Choose organic when possible.

Nut Butter Stuffed Dates
Nut Butter Stuffed Dates: a healthy treat for your sweet tooth!
Inspired by Restoring Radiance for these nut butter stuffed dates, they were a hit!! First of all, I’m a sucker for anything peanut butter & chocolate (anyone else?!) and while these originally called for almond butter, I switched it out for my favorite peanut butter instead! SO GOOD!
Dark Chocolate Brownies {Gluten, Flour & Bean Free}
I was on the hunt for a brownie. One that was extra chocolaty (is that a word?), free of refined sugar & flour and one that did not use black beans. As much as I do love a good black bean brownie, I honestly didn’t want to have to mess with the blender! Inspired by this online recipe, I made a couple upgrades and was so happy with the results that I’m sharing it with you.
Dairy Free Chocolate Sauce
I stumbled across this dairy free chocolate sauce recipe from Heavenly Homemakers and knew right away I had to try it!
It was delicious! I drizzled some over strawberries, added it to my iced coffee, and just ate a few bites off the spoon! 😉
Sweetened with honey and using coconut milk, this a delicious dairy-free treat that I sure don’t feel bad about having!
Stored in the fridge, it will last about 2 weeks. Enjoy!
Chocolate Covered Everything
Hey chocolate lovers!
It’s not new news that you can dip most anything in chocolate and it tastes delicious! I want to share my chocolate recipe that I use for dipping. Strawberries, apples & bananas are quite delicious covered in chocolate. 🙂 This recipe uses coconut oil which will require you to refrigerate until you are ready to eat the final product. (If you are not interested in that, you can melt a organic dark chocolate bar
