A nutritious and, at the same time, not too burdensome for the body snack is one of the most important “building blocks” of a healthy balanced diet. The main thing is to choose the right products, and even better-to prepare something delicious and interesting from them. We offer several win-win options for healthy snacks.
A bun with a deep meaning
A fragrant rye bun is a suitable base for a hearty healthy snack. You just need to find a harmonious content for it. Chop as small as possible a small bunch of spinach and 6-8 stalks of green onions. Hard-boiled 2 eggs, cut into cubes. Rub 150 g of feta cheese into a crumb, mix with spinach and eggs. Fill the filling with 3-4 tbsp unsweetened natural yogurt, 1 tsp lemon juice, lightly salt and put a pinch of dry Provencal herbs. We cut the oblong rye buns along, but not to the end, carefully remove the crumb. We will get bread “boxes”, which we will fill with spinach and cheese filling. You can also cover the buns with cottage cheese, add fresh cucumbers, red onion rings and lettuce leaves to the sandwich. Such a meaningful snack can be taken to work, for a walk with children or on the road.
Eternal energy in a candy bar
Protein bars are the inseparable companions of those who follow proper nutrition and lead an active lifestyle. At home, they are made from protein powder, milk, fruits, berries, nuts and seeds. The ingredients are mixed into a thick mass, formed into bars, baked or frozen. However, there is not always enough time for long preparations.
In this case, LIKE protein bars are a great alternative. The recipe is based on high-quality whey protein.

The most correct chips
If you are tired of vegetables and fruits as snacks, prepare vitamin chips from them. Here are some win-win ideas. Using a vegetable cutter, cut the zucchini into thin slices, dip in a mixture of whipped protein, 50 g of grated cheese and ½ tsp of paprika, roll in bread crumbs. Spread the zucchini slices on a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes in the oven at 220°C.
The goodies will unanimously approve of the pear chips. Cut 2 hard pears into thin transverse circles with the peel, remove the seeds with a knife. Place them on a baking sheet with parchment, sprinkle with lemon juice, sprinkle with cinnamon and bake in the oven at 100°C for about an hour. Then turn the slices over and cook for another 40 minutes. Put the pear chips in a paper bag and take them with you wherever you go.
Cookies for a summer mood
Oatmeal cookies are a life-saving snack for those who have decided to eat right, but are unable to part with homemade cakes. For its preparation, the most suitable oat flakes are extra first grade. They contain a large amount of fiber, vitamins and trace elements. Knead 2 ripe bananas into a mush, add 200 g of oat flakes and 120 ml of kefir, leave to soak for 15 minutes. Sweeteners can put a little honey in the dough. For a more interesting taste and a subtle aroma, pour out 1 tbsp of coconut shavings. We make cookies, decorate with dried cranberries, put them on a baking sheet and send them to a preheated 180°C oven for 20 minutes. Any fresh and dried fruits will also be appropriate here.
Muffins with berry harvest
Feel free to include diet chocolate muffins with berries in the menu of healthy snacks. Mix in a bowl 200 g of flour, 3 tbsp. l. cocoa, 1 tsp. baking powder and cinnamon, a pinch of salt. Separately whisk 100 g of natural yogurt without additives, 50 ml of olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, honey to taste. Combine the liquid and dry bases, beat with a mixer until smooth, pour out 150 g of fresh berries. It can be blueberries, pitted cherries, or an assortment of several of your favorite berries. Lubricate the muffin molds with oil, fill two-thirds with the dough and put it in the oven at 180°C for 30 minutes. When the muffins cool down and are saturated with the aromas of berries, they will become even more appetizing, tender and delicious.
Crackers and the power of cereals
If you gravitate to spicy and salty variations, prepare rye crackers with cereals for a snack. Combine 50 g of flax seeds, sunflower, pumpkin and sesame seeds, grind them into flour. A few whole grains will be left for decoration. Mix the crushed cereals with 250 g of rye flour, ¼ tsp salt, 30 ml of olive oil and 180 ml of water. Knead the elastic dough, roll out the layer with a thickness of 2-3 mm and cut it into rectangles with a sharp knife. Whisk in a fluffy foam 2 raw proteins with a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp. l. water, lubricate the crackers. Sprinkle them with the remaining grains, dry fragrant herbs and bake in the oven at 160°C for 20 minutes. Smear the crackers with ricotta, add crunchy vegetables and herbs — you will get a wonderful mini-sandwiches.
