Plus, they're packed with everyone's favorite antioxidant superfood: blueberries. 06 of 29 Peanut Butter Energy Balls View Recipe These healthy peanut butter and chocolate energy balls deliver a mixture of simple and complex carbohydrates to help fuel you up whenever you need a little boost. They're no-bake and easy to make with ingredients you probably have on hand, like oats and nut butter. Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins--for example, dried fruit or chopped nuts--in place of the chocolate chips and coconut. 07 of 29 Air-Fryer Crispy Chickpeas View Recipe Air-fried chickpea snacks are intensely flavored and incredibly crunchy. Drying the chickpeas is essential to a good crunch, so don't skip this step. If you have time, leave them out on the counter to dry for an hour or two before frying. 08 of 29 Strawberry-Chocolate Greek Yogurt Bark View Recipe 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. 09 of 29 Lemon-Parm Popcorn View Recipe Perk up your popcorn with a bit of lemon pepper and Parmesan cheese. 10 of 29 Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars View Recipe Full of oats, chocolate chips and chia seeds, these oatmeal bars are perfect for an on-the-go snack. 11 of 29 Dried Apples View Recipe This healthy oven-dried apple recipe is perfect if you want to make dried apples at home and don't have a dehydrator. Great for lunchboxes or as a snack, homemade dried apples are easy to make in the oven and are high in fiber and nutrients. To retain the fiber from the peels and to save time, we skip the step of peeling the apples first. We also skip coring--the star-shaped core makes a pretty shape in the center of each dried apple. For crispy apple chips, bake the apples about 1 hour more. 12 of 29 Orange-Chocolate Greek Yogurt Bark View Recipe Ted + Chelsea Cavanaugh Orange and chocolate combine to create a sweet, fruity frozen treat in this healthy yogurt bark recipe. Sliced almonds add a crunch that kids and adults will love. 13 of 29 Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Granola Bars View Recipe These easy-to-make homemade granola bars are inspired by the flavors of a classic oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. But feel free to vary the mix-ins to your preference. We tested several sticky sweeteners, including maple syrup and honey, but found brown rice syrup held the bars together the best. 14 of 29 Strawberry-Oat Streusel Bars View Recipe The dough in this easy dessert recipe does double duty--it creates a sturdy crust to hold all the gooey strawberry filling and also makes a crisp crumb topping. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to take this to the next level. 15 of 29 Fruit Energy Balls View Recipe Make a big batch of these no-bake energy balls to keep on hand when hunger strikes or you need a healthy pick-me-up. 16 of 29 Raspberry-Chocolate Coconut Yogurt Bark View Recipe Ted + Chelsea Cavanaugh A thin layer of dairy-free coconut yogurt gets studded with raspberry jam and chocolate to create a frozen treat that will please kids and adults. 17 of 29 Chickpea Snack Salad View Recipe Ted Cavanaugh Take 5 minutes to toss together a fiber-rich chickpea and tomato salad for a satisfying snack. 18 of 29 Toasted Paprika Chickpeas View Recipe Toasted chickpeas are now a popular vegan snack, but why spend extra money buying them at the health food store when you can easily make them yourself? They're delicious as a snack but also make a wonderful salad topping. 19 of 29 Homemade Multi-Seed Crackers View Recipe 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.

In this riff on candied nuts, chickpeas are coated with cinnamon sugar to make them irresistible! This snack is best enjoyed the day it is made. 22 of 29 Super-Seed Snack Bars View Recipe Thanks to a mix of pumpkin, sunflower, hemp and chia seeds, these healthy snack bars are packed with protein, fiber, minerals and healthy fats. Because these bars pack well, they're great for taking along on all-day adventures. 23 of 29 Banana Energy Bites View Recipe Perfect for an on-the-go breakfast or snack, these energy bites will keep you fueled. 24 of 29 Raspberry Coconut Yogurt Bark View Recipe Ted + Chelsea Cavanaugh Coconut is used in two ways in this easy frozen snack or dessert: as the yogurt base and as the topping.

Enjoy them on their own, add them to trail mix or use them as a topping to yogurt or ice cream. 29 of 29 Roasted Butternut Squash Seeds View Recipe Caitlin Bensel Don't throw away your butternut squash seeds; roast them instead!
