Healthy Snack Ideas



Fruit & yogurt parfait
– while this may not be a cookie, it will satisfy your sweet cravings. Using yogurt that is low in sugar, you will want to alternate between layers of yogurt and your favorite fruit.

· Frozen yogurt – instead of going to your favorite yogurt shop and purchasing a yogurt with all the toppings, you can make you own frozen yogurt. Simply, place plain yogurt into your freezer. It will freeze into a refreshing, frozen treat.

· Frozen banana bites – bananas can be used for more than just banana splits. Simply, cut a banana into bite size pieces and cover with peanut butter. Roll each piece in crushed nuts and place into the freezer wrapped in wax paper.

· Baked apples – this is a tasty treat that the entire family will love. You will simply core, and slice an apple in half. Top the apple with cinnamon, natural sugar and granola topping. Bake the apple until softened for about 10-15 minutes (or you can microwave it for 5-6 minutes).

· Tea scented mandarins – the taste will stimulate everyone’s taste buds. Put a few, orange mandarin slices in a small bowl. Then pour hot black tea over them, and drizzle with honey and cardamom.

· Pineapple coconut frappe – there is nothing like having something cool on a hot day. Simply mix pineapple, milk, coconut milk and ice cubes together until frothy.
