Snacks

Snacks are an ideal food to have between main courses in order to stave off hunger, satisfy cravings, and replenish essential macronutrients. That said, there’s no need to settle for dry bread and play it safe. Sure, protein bars are a quick solution, but why not try something more interesting and prepare a sweet or savoury treat from healthy ingredients? Various pies and desserts with higher amounts of protein and fibre, which satiate better, are an excellent choice. Additionally, you also can’t go wrong if you venture into making savoury snacks. You can try your hand at a variety of savoury balls, crackers, and similar tasty bites. And if you have dietary restrictions, you can opt for gluten-free, lactose-free, or vegan treats.

What sweet snacks to prepare?

Sweet and healthy snacks should delight your taste buds, satisfy your hunger, and provide essential nutrients. If you’re making baked goods, it’s good to add whole-grain flour, fruit, or vegetables to the dough to enrich it with beneficial fibre. Also, don’t forget to ensure that your snack has an optimal protein content. Proteins can be added to the batter, creams, or as decoration. Great sources include protein powders (which can be vegan), dairy products such as curd, skyr, Greek yoghurt, as well as unflavoured tofu. For all desserts, try to keep the preparation as simple as possible. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about spending hours in the kitchen with uncertain results.

What savoury snacks to prepare?

We haven’t forgotten about those who prefer savoury meals either. How about trying your hand at seed crackers, a savoury quiche, baked potato pancakes, couscous balls, tortillas, wraps, and other popular treats? In addition to being perfect snacks, they often come in handy as evening indulgences while watching TV when cravings strike. They also serve as a great solution to when hunger creeps up on you unexpectedly between lunch and dinner.

Whether you’re looking for quick recipes for savoury or sweet snacks to ward off hunger and delight your taste buds, you’ll surely find something to your liking in this category.
