EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Sometimes you just need a quick bite to help power you through the day, and this mix of snacks is sure to have something you'll love. Whether you need a batch snack you can make for the whole week or a dip everyone can dig into between meals, these recipes are a healthy, tasty way to feel satisfied until your next meal. Plus, each recipe is low in saturated fat and sodium, so you can snack while protecting your heart health. Recipes like our Flourless Banana Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins and Homemade Multi-Seed Crackers are light, delicious snacks that you'll want to make on repeat. 01 of 32 Loaded Black Bean Dip View Recipe This is 7-layer black bean dip simplified: just heat and season refried beans, then top with fresh vegetables for a texturally exciting dip. 02 of 32 Mojito Blueberry & Watermelon Salad View Recipe Inspired by the classic mojito cocktail, this festive and healthy fruit salad gets zing from rum, lime and mint. The optional piment d'Espelette--a sweet, spicy ground pepper from the Basque region of France--adds a hint of heat that's a nice contrast to the sweet fruit. Look for this spice at specialty stores, well-stocked markets or online. You could also swap in chile-lime seasoning blend (such as Tajín) for a similar subtle kick or omit the spice altogether. Feel free to skip the rum if you prefer an alcohol-free salad. With or without the rum, this salad has summertime backyard BBQ written all over it. 03 of 32 Flourless Banana Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins View Recipe 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. 04 of 32 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. 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. 05 of 32 Mini Frozen Yogurt Parfaits View Recipe Johnny Autry These mini yogurt parfaits are the perfect sweet treat. You can use raspberries, blueberries or strawberries in these bite-size parfaits. 06 of 32 Mini Bell Pepper Pebre View Recipe Ted & Chelsea Cavanaugh This version of pebre, a Chilean condiment, combines bell peppers, tomatoes, parsley and cilantro for a fresh bite. 07 of 32 Pimiento Cheese-Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers View Recipe Ted & Chelsea Cavanaugh A quick spread of pimiento cheese stuffs these mini bell peppers for an easy, three-ingredient appetizer. 08 of 32 Creamy Smoked Trout Spread View Recipe Johnny Autry Here the smoky flavor of the fish pairs exceptionally well with the robust bite of horseradish and onion.

Roasting the tomatillos mellows their acidity and adds a subtle sweetness. 10 of 32 Radishes with Green Goddess Dressing View Recipe Jason Donnelly This quick and easy radish recipe will get you ready for spring.

They're best when the parsnips are sliced thinly and evenly, so if you have a mandoline this would be the perfect time to get it out. Recipe adapted from VT Feed. 12 of 32 Baked Zucchini Waffle Fries with Creamy Herb Dip View Recipe These crispy baked zucchini waffle fries with a ranch-style dipping sauce are a super-fun snack, appetizer or side dish. You can use all sorts of herbs in the creamy dipping sauce, including chives, dill, tarragon or parsley--or a combo. Pickle fans will love the sauce with dill, which pairs especially nicely with the Old Bay in the breadcrumb coating on the zucchini. To create the waffle shape, you can use a mandoline or special waffle cutter, such as the Borner Wave Waffle Cutter, which sells for about $25. This healthy fry recipe would also be delicious with regular sliced zucchini rounds if you'd rather not fuss with special equipment at all. 13 of 32 Fresh Tomato Salsa with Marjoram Enjoy this fresh tomato sauce hot or cold.
