Chunky Banana Bites
One of our favorite snacks here at Full Bloom Acres! The secret to getting the best banana flavor is to use bananas that are very ripe (with many brown spots) but not completely brown. Two of these bites make a great post-workout snack!
Carrot Cake Energy Bites
Looking to mix up your energy bite game? Give these gems a try! The fresh, grated carrot adds something special. These are perfect as a post-workout snack or as a quick dessert.
Doritos-Flavored Popcorn
You know how Doritos are so incredibly addictive? As in, you better be prepared to eat the entire bag once you start. Before you know it you’re staring at the bottom of an empty bag. Eek. Boy, do I know that feeling. This seasoning tastes just like the real thing! Only without the guilt! It also makes a wonderful taco seasoning! The nutritional yeast adds a cheesy and salty flavor so don’t skip it!
Jicama Lime Bites
Don’t let the name scare you! Jicama is a common ingredient in Mexican cooking. And it’s delish! The texture is similar to the texture of an apple or a raw potato but it tastes sweet. Lime juice and chili powder are perfect companions! If you are taking this snack on the go, store the jicama bites in a glass or plastic container. Then give it a good shake before eating to redistribute the seasoning.
Classic Hummus
The secret to a hummus with a heavenly consistency is to shell the chickpeas before putting them in the food processor. It’s a lot of work, but is well worth the reward!
Roasted Red Pepper Dip
Need a break from avo-toast? Or maybe something with a little more protein and carbs for a post-workout snack? Check out this dip! There are so many amazing uses for it that go well beyond cut-up veggies (but that is a great use, too!)! Make a batch of this at the beginning of the week and munch your way through!
Turmeric Energy Bites
Turmeric makes me happy! Maybe it’s the bright orange powder that turns everything in its path yellow. Or maybe that curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, is SUPER healthy. Either way, I take any opportunity to get more turmeric into my life! These energy bites are delicious and a great snack for before or after a workout or during that afternoon energy crash!
Coconut Cranberry Bites
Energy balls or “bites” are all the rage right now! And for good reason! They are quick and easy to throw together, make a yummy, portable snack, and are yummy. Did I mention they’re yummy?!
