Healthy Snack Recipes

This resembles rice krispie treats but is made with toasted oats which are loaded with complex carbs (the kind you need) and fiber and yet they are still delicious. The best thing about this healthy snack recipe is the no bake simplicity. Ready in about 15-20 minutes

3 Tbsp margarine
4 cups of mini marshmallows
5 cups of Cheerios or generic toasted oat cereal
1/2 cup of raisins
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
1/4 cup graham crackers or cheerio crumbs

Place the marshmallows in a large microwave safe bowl with the margarine on top and nuke on high 2-3 mins. Add the cereal, the raisins and chocolate chips and stir until thoroughly mixed.

Rub some margarine on the bottom and sides of a casserole dish and transfer the cereal mixture to the casserole pressing the mixture into the dish. Let the mixture cool then cut into 24 cubes. Roll the cubes in the cracker/cereal crumbs. Enjoy!

For a fancier version add a 1/2 cup crushed walnuts, almonds, or peanuts. For a healthier blend omit the chocolate chips.

Best used in place of a sport energy bar or to satisfy a sweet tooth.

Like the title says this is the easiest healthy snack recipe I know. What better way to start than with the simple. I like it for a fast breakfast but it works anytime as a great trail mix energy booster type thing.

Get a 1 gallon ziplock bag and dump in 2 cups of toasted oats cereal. Add 1/2 to 1 cup of raisins and shake until somewhat mixed.

I carry this mixture I my vehicle in a plastic shaker cup so I can eat it right out of the cup as if it were a drink. It really comes in handy when I don't have time to sit for breakfast. I just throw it together and go!

It's easy to get fancy. Just add some nuts, seeds, or your favorite dried fruit.., or whatever you can imagine. Cheers!
